The UV-B series receiver does not overload anywhere as easily as the UV-5R.The UV-B series receiver does not overload anywhere as easily as the UV-5R. The UV-B6 receiver is more sensitive and selective than other similar inexpensive Chinese radios. The UV-B5 has a rotary selector knob where the LED light is on top of the UV-B6, which is the primary distinction between the two models. Weird thing, I am able to enter 1.25-Meter band frequencies and transmit with my UV-B6. I discovered this by accident when I was experimenting. This may not be good for the radio, however, it is capable of doing it.There are some trimmed down or missing features on this model compared to the UV-5R, such as fewer channel memories, smaller LCD display, and no 2.5kHz minimum frequency step. Weird thing, I am able to enter 1.25-Meter band frequencies and transmit with my UV-B6. I discovered this by accident when I was experimenting. This may not be good for the radio, however, it is capable of doing it. It has been said that on this band the receiver is not as sensitive. It is also said that when transmitting in this band there will be harmonic noise generated on the 70cm band, which is likely why the radio was never certified as function on 1.25m.
