My arrived today in green to be fair it seems a good radio, it's my first Baofeng receive is sensitive output is about 3.8 watts on high power and the menus allow you to do everything you would expect, build quality seems good too, I am pretty impressed
If it’s locked to just amateur bands, hold down PTT+SK2(button under PTT)+GREEN on powerup and it’ll unlock (General mode) after displaying “_” for a few seconds. To lock to just amateur (Part 97 mode) bands, hold PTT+5 on powerup. To see what mode it’s in simply just hold the 8 key on powerup. From working mode, long press 0 for voltage level.
Has anyone actually run one of these across a bench? I have two and found them to be inferior performers to an original UV-5R. The receivers aren't as sensitive on VHF. Power output is about the same. But the big difference is on UHF. The radios only put out a little over two watts compared to the UV-5R's 4 watts. The sensitivity is also considerably down from the older radios and even the VHF on the same radio. I tested both of the radios I have and they perform Identical. I first found this trying different antennas. The 3 UV-5Rs I have all were picking up a repeater about 15 miles away inside my home. The UV-17 Pro GPS radios would not. Not with the exact same antenna the UV-5R was using and sitting in the exact location. At first it appeared the squelch levels were set differently. But it ended up being sensitivity. The radios added features but is a step backwards in performance. Oh, the performance in the GRMS/FRS frequency ranges on the bench are even worse. I don't see them as serviceable on FRS/GMRS with the reduced sensitivity and the reduced power. Just use a UV-5r if in a pinch. There is a noticeable performance difference.
Sending and requesting GPS between two of these works great for me. It's adding to more confusion with the use of V1 and V2. There's also a third, and possibly a fourth model. Base model referred to as V1 has a sticker "uv-17'. GPS version has a sticker" uv-17 Pro ". Third model with full colour screen has a sticker" uv-17R " but doesn't have GPS. Sellers are adding to the confusion with their naming.
I'm new to this type of radio. Was a UK CBer back in the 70s & 80s, before it was legalised on FM and afterwards, and watched it slide from incredibly exciting into obscurity. But tiny radios that receive lots of bands and even transmit on some, well that's a really groundbreaking thing for me. Anyway, next spring I'm selling up, taking to my refurbished 55 year old 27' sailing boat and going off to see as much of the planet as I can. Therefore I decided to buy a cheap little modern Baofeng radio, and settled on the UV-17 Pro GPS. I need the GPS as back-up, and the other bands for entertainment. However, I didn't reckon with Baofeng's love of complicating the situation. If you want a UV 17 with all the top features, which I do, you are in difficulties as the quoted bands covered, power outputs, extras such as a USB C charge facility, colour screen etc do not all coincide on one model - as far as I can make out. Why? Well who the hell knows, but surely people clever enough to design and construct something like this for a very affordable price are surely too clever to mistakenly spread all the features over several models. Therefore they are expecting multiple sales of almost identical units to the same individual. How inconvenient to have to lug several radios around with you, and ensure all are charged and all are ready to work at their optimum. I don't get it Baofeng. Just make for us the 'fully-loaded' item and charge a bit extra. Stop being so daft.
Good idea to bin the charging cradle, the clearance between the high and low voltage sides is a bit small and there is no suppression or filtering of any harmonics in the switch mode. As Diode Gone Wild sats "Super Dodgy" . Much better to get a quality usb charger.
With a little fiddling of timing settings, I got the GPS beacon to work through a repeater, but not consistently. Working on it. Works fine over just simplex though…
Every time I post a detailed post about how to use the GPS and also link the English CPS, YT automatically deletes it. I hate YT. Short version, long press BLUE then short press GREEN to cycle GPS screens. Radio numbers are set by ANI-EDIT on radio and coorolate to DTMF settings in CPS. PTT sends coordinates and requests other 17 Pro GPS’s to automatically send theirs back.
16:00 Technical question: there are like 3 or 4 different ways to represent / write GPS coordinates, does it support switching them and support them all. For example one way is via decimal numbers, and another way is by degrees / minutes / seconds. You show the second form in minutes and seconds on the screen, but all my FPV quadcopter equipment actually uses the decimal version representation of lat long coords.
This radio annoys me more than most. Yesterday I saw a Version 1 that had UV5R firmware. Your V1 has UV13 Pro firmware. Now we have a V2 radio... I imagine this one will be the primary model. But I see blue screen models everywhere. It makes me wonder if one of them is counterfeit. Well not exactly "counterfeit" more "unauthorized." There has to be at least a dozen OEM's that make Baofeng radios FOR Baofeng. But they are also the source of some of the weird side models you see (uv8, uv9, Uv10, uv15, uv16... Etc) which are generally recased UV5R's. The 2 V1's I've seen are just UV5R and UV13 Pro's with a DM1701 screen. Is either of them "factory" spec, or are they by subcontractors looking to dump some old stock in a new case and sell them for twice what they are worth? We'll probably never know with the way Chinese radio companies work. I am interested in this V2 model. I would like to see them update the firmware a bit for sync and maybe to give the GPS more functionality. If done right, this could be Baofeng's entry into the big leagues.
This is a great video, thank you very much! My question, with the GPS feature of the UV-17 Pro, if I misplaced the radio while camping, can the GPS feature assist in finding it? Please let me know. Again, thank you very much.
The GPS sends out a signal to members of your group when you transmit. As I understand it, it could help find you but not the radio alone. I don't recall if it had an unattended transmit function or not.
Interesting video but it's not "chinese gps". As menu system says the positioning system is gnss (global navigation satellite system) in general and there are multiple implementations, for example gps for us and beidou for china and so on.
Most inexpensive "5 watt" radios clock in at about 3 to 3.5 watts. With line of sight frequencies, elevation and topography are bigger contributors to range than a watt or two of power. Cheers. Thanks for watching and commenting.
i suppose you're right but it seems to me to be deceptive advertising i think if the bloody thing says 5 watts it better be 5 watts or better.@@GadgetTalk4U
Hello. I ordered the UV17R but when I got it the instruction booklet says it's the BF-17 series. What's the difference? I was able to input all the FRS and GMRS channels right out of the box. No need to 'unlock' the radio like on the UV5R. I'm very much an amateur and on my way to getting my license. Thank you. Great video.

Is an FCC license required to use these UV 17 pro units? Would this be appropriate for a family SHTF situation? What is a typical range for raising series radio?
These are ham radios, you and family members would each need licenses. Better would be a GMRS radio where one license covers the entire family. Range is line of sight. In many environments that translates into 1 to 2 miles.
Better is a very subjective standard. It is very unlikely any HT outputs anything near 18 watts. Even if true, would you want that inches from your brain?
From the AZ 2 meter band plan - operation anywhere in the simplex subband is legal, as long as you do not cause interference to an ongoing conversation on a nearby frequency.
@@GadgetTalk4U Well there you go, there it is in black and white. When you transmit on 55 you are clobbering both 54 and 56. Why do that? Go back to California if you want to use 15 and 30kc steps.
@suspiciouswatermelon7639 Pretty sure my 2 watts won't be clobbering anyone. Do yourself a favor and don't go to the annual Quartzfest ham convention. You'll find, depending on the year, 500 to 1000 hams using 146.550 as the convention common frequency. PS Quartzsite is in AZ.
@@GadgetTalk4U That is because Quartzite is on the California border and there is an allowance for overlap between the AZ freeq coord committee and California.
I notice you are using P15UV software. Where can I get it and what radio do I set the software too, I have heard from various videos that UV17 does not show on this. Nice video and well explained.
Hello, can you help me? I've got the same model radio. Fiddling around with the menu, I've turned on power on PWD, which displays an ''input password'' message each time the radio is turned on. The password is 000000, but before I've turned off my radio, I've left the keyboard lock on. Next time the radio was turned on, I am prevented from typing in the password, thus I'm completely blocked from using it. It also blocks any programming software from reaching the radio... If you know any way I can turn off the keyboard lock or completely restart the radio without the menu (can't be reached), please write me here, thanks in advance.
Tried it many times, that is the way I've locked mine first of all, but now I cannot unlock the keyboard, and the radio just lets out a beep on any key press, it does not respond to anything while I'm trying to enter the password. That's why I'm looking for a keypad power on combination to format the radio menu, because I cannot reach the menu itself@@GadgetTalk4U
@azimut5226 That has to be very frustrating. Consider joining the Baofeng user group on Facebook and asking there. It's a big group and someone may have the answer.
