Hi mate, I'd blame the meter for the lack of power, I have the same one and they're unreliable. I'd say that radios putting out a good 5 watts.

Hiya Lewis, I’ll connect up a proper analogue meter and check it then. Thanks for the heads up :)

Does the manual or radio indicate that it has high/medium and low selectable output power? Appreciate your review. Thanks.

@OnTheMicwithMike 4 жыл бұрын

The manual as you can imagine is poor, it shows the basics. Power setting just two options it shows, high and low. Thanks for watching, 73’

My problem is when I enter the frequency of the FM stations, there is only a very low noise similar to a tic..tic and nothing else, the radio instead in vhf that in uhf works regularly. What can you do?

Love the repeater name is not limited for 5 or 6 characters... Can the channel names be editted, from the menu, or is it strictly from the software?

@OnTheMicwithMike 3 жыл бұрын

The channel names can only be named or edited later on by the software unfortunately.

@@OnTheMicwithMike thank you for the reply. Sucks, my one gripe with the uv5r too.... And how short the names are, but also know hams in my area use the number over name anyway...

The 88-108 mhz FM radio does not work, I enter the frequency, but the radio remains silent. Does it work for you? Maybe there is something to do in the programming?

Must admit I’ve not used the radio for a while now. I’ll try mine and reply back as soon as I can. 73’

Hi Giovanni, thanks for the reply, my problem is that it causes the FM station frequency to be entered, but when listening there is only a very low noise that seems like a tick and nothing else, while the radios are in vhf and uhf it works regularly.

Hello .. can you help me with programming software. The website not working.

@Ciavanni 4 жыл бұрын

Hello! I bought this radio but I am disappointed for a few things. 1) Programming software is not complete. It requires a code for certain functions and I can't program two memory buttons just below PTT. At now the first is a monitor button (Squelch OFF) and second ... I don't know! 2) I Can't use keyboard DTMF tones: if I am not wrong Echolinks repeaters requires it. 3) I can't send 1750 tone in any way. That's a shame because I really like the look of this radio with a different display rather than the usual baofeng ...

@westsenkovec 4 жыл бұрын

Hello Giovanni! Did you make any progress? I too would like to be able to program the two side buttons. Some other Zastone radios have the same button layout and there's an option in the software to program them.

Hi there, Afraid not. It does not cover the AM Airband at all. It only covers 136-174mhz and 400-480mhz and and FM mode only. Thanks.

Their website seems to still be down so I can not download the software. Do you know where someone can get it other than from their website? Maybe you could provide a link to the copy you downloaded? I can host it if you drop me a line. I would REALLY appreciate it.
