  • Unboxing and review of the Baofeng BF-T20 "Ham radio" No, it's not a walkie talkie by the UK definition or by the description on the box BUT if you want an ultra lightweight and pocketable UHF 70cm HAM band radio for the UK it might be worth considering?

    Fascinating that you have a dual USB-C charging cable. The charging ports on mine (and all other versions that I have seen including WLN KD-C1, Luiton, LT-316, Retevis RT-22 and Zastone ZT-X6) are "mini USB."
    Chirp Next does now list and support this model directly, and NOT via support for any the other comparable models (as you encountered).

      @@bigwill4423 It turns out that Chirp has a bug so that any BF-T20 programmed with "privacy codes" will not communicate with OTHER radios, although such BF-T20s will communicate with each other. The KD-C1 software does not have this issue.

      @badd.syntaxx unfortunately because the t20 has a fixed antenna I have no means of testing the power output but I imagine they are identical. 🤔

    More creative marketing from Baofeng. So a uhf HAM radio sold as a walkie talkie 😂

      Seems to be a common issue with these pocket sized "fixed antenna" UHF radios from china Matt which for all the world look like UK compliant pmr446 "walkie talkies" but when you look a bit deeper under the skin their power output gives the game away and they are just UHF 70cm ham radios thinly disguised as "walkie talkies" . The worrying thing is that many users who buy these in the UK think they are getting a "license free" walkie talkie which they can use straight out of the box and they end up transmitting on illegal frequencies for the UK and even if they program it for pmr446 the chances are that they are still transmitting at illegal power outputs for the pmr446 band! 😲

      Oh it got worse! Those frequencies are slap bang in the middle of the UK Area Assigned Business Radio frequencies. 🤦

    You should title your videos with meaningful information. RUclips shit this into my recommendations because RUclips sometimes does that with random videos. I only clicked through to see what the bullshit was before clicking "Don't Recommend Channel" because you don't actually want people to watch your content.
    That's why you don't title your videos, right? Because you want them to be hidden forever and ever except for people specifically looking for the particular string in your title?

      ....truth is, I'm just an amateur and don't even know how to title a video. It's just a hobby for me and you're right, if people see it, fine, but if they don't then that's fine with me too. Apologies if it wasn't your thing.

      Perfect title, I found it easily. Interesting content if your thinking about buying one. 😃👍.
      I saw another video about reprogramming these on Chirp; he did the same as you but had to try 2 to 3 times.
      Thanks for sharing.
