Disclaimer: No License is required to purchase this radio, nor to Monitor (listen) to the many Amateur (Ham) Radio frequencies. However, an FCC License is required to Transmit (Talk) on Amateur Radio Frequencies in the USA. Please visit http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/amateur/licensing to learn more.

The UV-82 has an expanded frequency range and stronger antenna than earlier models, and also comes with an improved speaker, case, and button interface. The special VHF receive band can tune to FM channels and the function menu display uses a bright LCD screen for easy reading. This radio can be programmed with or without a PC to work on private repeater systems.

Key Features:

• Frequency Ranges: 65-108 MHz (Commercial FM radio only). VHF: 136-174 MHz(Rx/Tx). UHF: 400-520 MHz(Rx/Tx). Broad (Wide) / Narrowband (Narrow). High / Low Power (5W/1W).
• Frequency Step: 2.5/5/6.25/10/12.5/25 kHz.
• Functions include "VOX" (Voice Operated Transmission) and "OFFSET" (frequency offset for repeater access).

THE DUAL PUSH-TO-TALK DIFFERENCE

The UV-82 Series come with a dual push-to-talk button. The dual PTT is a huge leap forward in the HT technology. It allows you to transmit on two frequencies by the use of the rocker PTT switch. By pressing up you can transmit on "Frequency A" and by pushing down you can transmit on "Frequency B". Frequency A or B can also be used as a scanner of channels, frequencies, CTCSS and DTS tones.

The Pofung UV-82 Series

The Pofung UV-82 series has upped the bar on affordable ham radio technology! Compared to previous Pofung products (UV-5R, GT-3, and the v2+ Series) the UV-82 comes with a much louder speaker (1 watt), a much more solid case with larger buttons, and a new chipset and PCB board that outperforms the range, accuracy, and output of the previous Pofung chipsets. It is not simply a remake but a new radio from the ground up. It outperforms the the 2nd Gen UV-5R chipset (used in the UV-5Rs, GT-3 BF-F8+, and v2+ series).

VERSATILE RADIO FOR AMATEUR USE

The Pofung UV-82 is legal for use on amateur frequencies. The UV-82 is able to Transmit on Narrowband (12.5kHz) and Wideband (25kHz).

Dual Watch Receiver

The Pofung UV-82 has one built-in receiver but can "watch" two channels (semi duplex). Monitor two different frequencies (even on different bands (VHF/UHF)) and the radio will monitor both frequencies giving priority to the first station to receive an incoming call.

FM Broadcast Station

You can listen to the FM Broadcast radio, while still monitoring your radio frequencies in the background. Any incoming call will be given priority insuring you never miss an important call while listening to the radio.

Group Tones supported

The Pofung UV-82 supports the most common Analog Tones. It supports CTCSS, DCS, and DTMF calling methods. Set-up your calling methods to call by group tones. Tone calling (private line) is required by most repeater applications and the UV-82 supports the latest standards

The Pofung UV-82 can even send DTMF tones. This allows for sending ANI (Caller ID) or remote commands that require DTMF tones

Internal VOX function

The Pofung UV-82 has an internal VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) function for convenient hands-free operation and can be used in conjunction with the included earpiece and mic. The VOX level and VOX delay time are adjustable your needs.
