The problem you mentioned (10 sec. to Xmit) has NOT been an issue on either of my units.<br /><br />There is a very informative site at http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/FAQ - <br /><br />I'll post my experiences as the season progresses.<br /><br />TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153064028961086594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105236422251682525.post-88748153664185420622013-03-11T11:14:57.035-07:002013-03-11T11:14:57.035-07:00Hello Timo,

Have you already tested it range?<br /><br />I have read some comments stating that it can take up to ten seconds beween pressing the send button and get connection to broadcast.<br /><br />Thank you for your reaction!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09960396774688527579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105236422251682525.post-60329433094350568592012-12-18T23:32:06.124-08:002012-12-18T23:32:06.124-08:00Hi Paul -

Programing is fairly straight forward on the 5R, once you get the hang of it, and with the software datalink is very easy to program repeater settings and frequencies into memory.<br /><br />The 5R has the "alarm" button also, but it can be neutered with the programming software. I use a speaker/mike (and recommend them highly for flying) which eliminates the button issue.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments - Fly Safe!<br />TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153064028961086594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105236422251682525.post-51090639072037022302012-12-18T13:03:22.914-08:002012-12-18T13:03:22.914-08:00I have used the UV-3R on some training flights.

Pros: small, lightweight, affordable and powerful; cons: programming is a pain without the software, the "emergency alarm" button is right next to the PTT button and is annoying to all when it goes off. I hope the UV-5R has addressed these issues.PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04549253985785068089noreply@blogger.com
