The upshot being you have to manually find the frequency and can't use any of the stored 'favourites' on the lower VFO. Instead the lower B VFO is strictly for frequency only VHF. Other dual banders let you put your favourite channels on both so you can switch between the two but not so on the UV-3R. Chirp is a good program to do this with.Īnother annoyance is the fact that it wont allow stored channels to be available on both A + B VFOs. The only way to really add and remove channels is via a programming cable and software. Despite there being no keypad to speak of you can program the radio from the handset however once a channel has been stored it cannot be deleted it would seem. Operating the radio is easy enough if you are familiar with the other Baofeng radios out there although there are a few annoying differences. Not as well constructed as the UV-5R series of radios that's for sure. It's very light weight but also feels cheap and plasticy too. In terms of size the UV-3R is tiny and is possibly the smallest dual bander I have ever come across.
