Thanks for this, not just makes it looks better, but more convenient.

That o-ring is something I hadn't thought of. Thanks for that. I also recommend paint to match your environment!

I'm very interested in the o-ring but I was wondering if it will fit the UV-82HP as well. That knob starts out stiff but then loosens up over time almost as bad as the UV-5R.

Could get a much better radio for the money that doesn’t need upgrading after the cost of all these upgrades to make the feng something that it’s not, I’d recommend keeping it stock and program it using it for listening only, after all the cost is it’s only redeeming quality

No antenna upgrade?

I do recommend that as well but I'll have to do a different video on that because I use different antennas for different scenarios

So with these 5 items you took a $39 HT and made it a $138 HT that is still very subpar to better HT's. You can get a Yaesu FT-60R, Yaesu FT-65R or even a Bridgecom D-500 for that price.
@itsnick.matichuk2 ай бұрын
None of those come with any of the accessories I've added on, and most don't even have those accessories available. So yes this upgrades costs as much as a yaesu but the yaesu won't have USB c, decent belt clips, ptt guards....

Don't waste your time with an antenna that is worse than the rubber ducky antenna that comes with it for free. These stub antennas are known for horrendous SWR measurements resulting in a very attenuated signal strength. These HT's already have a very limited simplex range of about a mile or two at best at full power. Adding a subpar antenna and you drastically reduce that range to that of a FRS HT. If you are going to add any antenna to the UV5R, I would suggest adding a Nagoya NA771 or a Signal Stick. Also don't forget to make yourself an inexpensive counterpoise. It makes a big difference in the performance of this cheap HT.

@@ScottyD im 100% in agreement, but just for the sake of curiosity do you know any exact SWR numbers that can be expected for these stubbies?
@ScottyD2 ай бұрын
@@KrautSpaceMagic What I have seen are SWR's 2.5:1, 3:1, 4:1 which are all all horrible.

Yes, the stubby is a waste of money. Shit antenna. Will perform poorly. But as a side note, the idea of measuring SWR on a handheld antenna is ludicrous and laughable at best. The conditions of use have a much bigger impact on measured SWR than the antenna. An absolutely useless thing to try and measure.
