    Awesome! Thank you so much for this, pretty awesome to see 6W on it and also transmitting on 220mhz. 👍

    I must say this is so relieving for me, I have already ordered my UV 18 pro max and after watching this video I am absolutely excited to get it and use it on the 1.25m. UV 17 pro GPS is good but I think this test done by you should open some eyes so people know what to go for, many thanks Big Will

    Thank you this is a very intresting video. I received my 18 Pro Max a week ago and feel better about it now. Seems like a neat radio. Most budget radios'll only do 3.8w UHF and 4.8w VHF. The air band reception is a little unclear, not sure if its the nature of the air band or if it is the 18 Pro Max. The speaker is loud to, however i notice most incoming transmissions are very soft due to people not caring about using the microphone gain.

      Both my UV-17 Pro GPS radios are running v 1.27 firmware and the UV-18 Pro Max is running v 1.03 firmware. Hardware is v1.30 on all versions. Hope this helps.

      @bigwill4423 thanks BIG will!!! Do you know if anyone have managed to update/change firmware on baofeng radios and what is the procedure? My Uv 17Pro max is running FIRMWARE VO.06 and HARDWARE V01 and i am discovering running bugs that are annoying

      @@sekibulja-fu3bv unfortunately it is not possible to update the firmware on Baofeng analogue radios...probably part of the reason they are so cheap. ☹️

      @@aerotacto yes indeed. The ones with the latest firmware (v 1.03...yes that is the latest despite the number) have has the tx in 1.25 meters fixed. Just make sure you can get a v1.03 firmware version if you intend to tx on 1.25 meters on the 17 pro GPS. 👍
