Puxing 777

This is my second blog post about these dirt cheap handheld radios (VHF and UHF). Over the past year I’ve bought more of these radioes. This time I bought the Puxing 888 that is a better version of the Puxing 777. I dont know why people must bust expensive Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood etc radioes when you can get a inexpensive “china-radio” for under 70$! These radio are maybe not so robust, but I drop my handhelds from time to time and everyone works just perfect today. Another benefit are all the cheap accessories like earpieace, extra battery, desktop chargers etc.

Here you can read reviews on these radioes

Here is a youtube video on the radio

UBC780

This is the UBC-780 XLT receiver (”policescanner”).

It was my first scanner, and since then I just loved the products from Uniden.

The great thing about this receiver is the size. It’s a “mobile” station and not the typical handheld version.

The radio fits perfect in the car or on my desktop. Because of the size, it’s very easy to operate the radio. Big knops and a great display with backlight.

This radio operates on 12volts (13.8v) DC and the current drain is about 700mA.

If you are an geek like me, you like to hook this thing up to your computer and that it’s very easy. Just get yourself a serial cable (RS232) and connect to your computer. When you buy this radio you get the original software, but you can also find 3. party software with more functions.

When you connect the radio to you computer it is very easy to program in new channels, make banks etc. Another benefit are that you can control the radio. Change frequency, mode and channels.

Some facts:

- HF/VHF/UHF

- 25-512 / 806-956 / 1240-1300 mhz

- 5/7,5/10/12,5/25/50/100 khz steps

- Antenna connector: BNC

- 500 channels

- 30 channels/sec (scan-speed)

- Mode: AM/FM/NFM/WFM

I Recommend this product !
