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.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105236422251682525.post-15608706423145952772012-11-28T22:08:32.850-08:002012-11-28T22:08:32.850-08:00Hi Claudia - Sorry to hear about the accident.

Any approach should be made with minimum inputs and consider making a no flare landing. <br />TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153064028961086594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105236422251682525.post-58214538231777485332012-11-28T21:43:51.654-08:002012-11-28T21:43:51.654-08:00Hi Tim, I’m revisiting this blog topic coming from...Hi Tim, I’m revisiting this blog topic coming from your recent post @ pgforum. Great read for the second time. A note on the knot topic: we had an accident this year when a pilot launched with a knot/cravat, flew out very carefully to the LZ without problems, but when he turned (gently) to land the wing spun and he broke his back. It may be a good idea to avoid turns close to the ground if a big area of the wing is affected by the knot/cravat.Wetcoast Viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066327375523026160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105236422251682525.post-895701819574047272012-10-25T18:49:18.882-07:002012-10-25T18:49:18.882-07:00Wow, amazing pictures!
