Retail: $40 - $60Retail: $40 - $60 This is a discontinued model.===1.25m Ham Band (222MHz)===The back story I have on this HT is that the designers had the intention of making it a tri-bander. However, on the 1.25m ham band the output was lower and emissions on the harmonic frequencies is too strong. Basically, the output on 222 is very dirty. With that being said, it does work on 222 and will allow communication on repeaters.Power output testing will be shared here...===Usage with CHIRP version 20160215===CHIRP version 20160215 (and I assume all later versions) will read from and program to the UV-B6. From the menu select*Radio*Download From Radio*Choose VENDOR: Baofeng and MODEL: UV-B5The data will download correctly. When programming upload, the process may complete with an error, however, be advised the program will still load correctly into the radio.
