I’m a bit of a 220 aficionado, but decent 220 equipment can be hard to come by. The 1.25 meter band has some unique properties, blending the propagation advantages of the 2 meter and 70cm bands. So 220 radios and repeater systems tend to have better range and coverage than similar VHF and UHF systems. With that said, I was excited when Radioddity approached me to take a look at their new handheld, the Baofeng UV-5RX3. The UV-5RX3 is a triband radio with coverage on the 2 meter, 70 cm, and 1.25 meter 222 Mhz band.
