Testing the output power of an amateur radio transceiver on high power. Impressive 25 watts on FM and up to 22 watts on sideband. Features like repeater shift, CTCSS tones, and weather alerts make this a versatile unit.

Only 5,000 of these exist. This is the Baofeng UV-5R 25th Anniversary Edition, and it’s more than just a transparent shell. While other reviewers just show the box, we’re doing a deep dive into the USB-C battery, the upgraded antenna, and the one thing everyone is afraid to test: the spectral purity. Is this limited edition Baofeng actually better, or just a collector’s item?

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
The Baofeng UV-5R has sold over 40 million units since 2011. To celebrate 25 years of Baofeng Electronics, they released this limited "Return to Roots" set. Unlike the standard UV-5R, this kit includes a custom hardshell carrying case, a commemorative metal pin with Morse Code, and a high-gain transparent antenna.

But the real question for Ham Radio operators is the performance. Is it the same classic hardware in a new skin? We also look at the USB-C charging capability built directly into the battery—a feature that finally makes the UV-5R field-ready without a bulky charging cradle.

This isn’t paranoia, it’s ownership. You either own your tools or rent permission to use them. Why rent when you can own your creations?

Sometimes you gotta just take a dive and see what you don’t know. This is one of those times and I need to figure out if one really big screen beats 3 really small screens.

New 3D printers might require internet access and cloud verification, meaning someone else could control what you print. Is your tool about to own you?

I’m betting this radio was returned because of a PL Tone mismatch. Just a guess, but I have a habit of being right about these things. Let’s dive in and discuss why PL Tones might be your problem with GMRS radios.

The real danger isn’t confiscation, but your tools quietly refusing to work. Ensure ownership by buying tools you control, mastering local workflows, and never connecting your 3D printer to the internet. Stay ahead of restrictions and let your voice be heard.
