TX/RX on Narrowband (12.5kHz) or Wideband (25kHz).
Dual Watch Receiver
The UV-2501 operates as two radios in one, with either 144 MHz, 220, or 430 MHz as the “Main” TX/RX band, while simultaneously watching the other band. And, if you like, you can configure your UV-2501 for VHF-VHF or UHF-UHF operation, too!
Simultaneous Display
For those that want to have the most information at their fingertips on a specific channel – they can synchronize the displays. You can configure the displays to synchronize and allow both the Channel Name and frequency to simultaneously display on the selected channel.
High Power Output
To get your message through when it counts, the UV-2501+220 puts out up to 25 Watts of power on the VHF band, and up to 20 Watts on UHF and 220Mhz Bands. Power can be switched between High and Low via the microphone keypad.
FM Broadcast Station
You can listen to the FM Broadcast radio, while still monitoring your radio frequencies in the background. Any incoming call will be given priority insuring you never miss an important call while listening to the radio.
Group Tones supported
The UV-2501+220 supports the most common Analog Tones. It supports CTCSS, DCS, 2Tone, 5Tone, Voice Inversion, and DTMF calling methods. Set-up your calling methods to call by group tones. Tone calling (private line) is required by most repeater applications and the UV-2501+220 supports the latest standards.
The UV-2501+220 can even send DTMF tones. This allows for sending ANI (Caller ID) or remote commands that require DTMF tones; or it can receive incoming DTMF tones to allow for remote stun or kill commands
Fully Customizable through the Free Software
You can program your UV-2501+220 exactly how you want it. There are 200 programmable memory channels. You can add or remove channels from scanning list. You can give channels alphanumeric names. The radio has an available low power setting of 10 watts, allowing you to choose how far you can communicate. You can easily program from a PC to set-up the radio to operate exactly as needed.
