I wanted an inexpensive radio for my Jeep Wrangler with a soft top. I have run the radio with the mag mount antenna and powered by the cigarette lighter. All reports have been outstanding regarding sound quality and I have no problems reaching the local repeaters. I now plan on making the power connection permanent and getting a better antenna. Very pleased.

So far this has been a really impressive radio. I put mine in my UTV where space is a scarce. Because the radio is only a little bigger than a cheeseburger, it fits in where other guys are struggling to find where to mount their bigger units. There’s no proprietary nonsense: the unit is easy to program with CHIRP (took me about 2 minutes to fully program mine), and the icing on the cake is that it has a TRRS headset port on the back. I bought a 3.5mm TRRS pigtail from Amazon and plumbed it in to my UTV’s intercom system with PTT buttons: and now it works just like an airplane. Durability will be tested on the warmer and dustier rides in the summer. Other than that, very impressed.

I was looking for a radio for my company truck, I wanted something somewhat portable, I purchased the 25×2 and a cup holder mount (from Amazon) and it has worked out great. I really didn’t want to permanently mount a radio in the company truck and this was a great solution, signal reports have been great and programming is easy. I will be buying a second one soon.

We have 2 of these. Mine is the older 2501, my wife has this 25X2. My 2501 is quite old and works wonderfully, still. The 25X2 likewise has performed flawlessly, the signal reports we get have always been very good with comments like “that sounds as good as any radio I have heard” – and it always tickles me to let them know it is a $130 BaoFeng Tech. Yes, I do have Kenwoods and Yaesus but the BTechs are the ones that we use as mobiles and will continue to use, proudly. I want another to use as a dual band base unit for the house.

Had a couple for about a year decent radios for the price.
