Disturbing UV-5R rumors
We did quite a few measurements on earlier models (BFB231, BFB239) of the Baofeng UV-5R. These radios did a fine job. According to the measurements of other operators, more recent models appear to be less perfect. Unfortunately I don’t own one of these newer versions, but I’ll try to borrow one. Did anyone else measure one recently and care to comment on this?

I recently measured two UV-5Rs for harmonic distortion. One had a second harmonic at -51.6 dBc and the other had a fourth harmonic at -39.7 dBc. The versions are BFB231 and BFB251 (in that order, I think, but I might have them reversed.)
