BTECH UV-50PRO

A 5W handheld on a rubber duck gets you a few miles on a good day. That's the ceiling, and walking uphill is the only fix you have. The UV-50PRO moves the radio into the truck or onto the bench and puts 50W into a real antenna — ten times the transmit power, on feedline you can mount high.

WHY IT'S IN THE SHOP

Every kit eventually hits the limit of handheld power. This is the next step: a dedicated rig for the vehicle or the shack, running on 12V, with no charge cycle to manage in the middle of an event.

SPECS THAT MATTER

• 50W dual-band VHF/UHF output.
• 12V DC power — vehicle, bench supply, or battery bank.
• Built for an external antenna and a permanent mount.
• Front panel sized for use while driving, not for a belt clip.
• Single, double, or 4-pack.

FIELD NOTES

Power is half the install. Budget for an antenna, feedline, and a fused 12V run — a clean 50W install beats a sloppy one every time.
