Product Overview
Built for the Mission. Ready for Anything.
The BTECH UV-PRO is more than just a dual-band radio—it's a full-featured communications platform designed for both licensed amateurs and professional operators. With rugged IP67 waterproofing, USB-C charging, APRS capabilities, real Bluetooth audio, and seamless app integration, this radio delivers everything you need in the field, at the range, or off-grid.
Key Features
- Dual Band Capability (VHF/UHF): Transmit and receive on the most used amateur and PLMR frequencies. Monitor FM radio and aviation bands with RX-only coverage for situational awareness.
- True Bluetooth Audio + BS-PTT Support: Unlike most “Bluetooth radios,” the UV-PRO supports real Bluetooth audio. Pair it with headsets or your vehicle for hands-free comms, plus use the BS-PTT button for low-profile operation.
- KISS TNC + APRS Ready: The latest 7.11 firmware supports KISS TNC, enabling APRS and integration with apps like APRSdroid, Winlink, RadioMail, and more.
- Audio Relay Functionality: Extend your comms range with automatic audio relaying between radios. Perfect for large areas, search teams, or remote deployments.
- Memory Sync & Channel Sharing: Instantly sync memory channels wirelessly across multiple devices—no programming cable needed. Ideal for team coordination or agency deployments.
- NOAA Weather Alerts: Built-in monitoring and alerting system for changing weather patterns. Critical for ARES, CERT, or anyone prepping for grid-down events.
- Frequency Sync Rapid Scanning: Automatically find and lock onto nearby active frequencies—perfect for fast-paced deployments or emergency comms.
Built for the Field
- USB-C Charging: No proprietary cradles. Just plug in and power up using modern cables you already carry.
- Waterproof & Dustproof (IP67): Submersible to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Handles storms, mud, or snow without missing a beat.

Important Compatibility Note
The UV-PRO does not use a standard K1 plug. If you want to use common Kenwood 2-pin (K1) accessories—like speaker mics, PTTs, or earpieces—you’ll need the dedicated adapter designed specifically for this radio platform.
To connect any K1 accessory, use the GMRS-PRO/UV-PRO K1 Adapter Cable. This allows seamless integration with your existing K1 gear, expanding your comms options without needing to change accessories.
This adapter is essential if you're running a tactical headset, using APRS-K1 data cables, or want to run external PTTs or speaker mics from your UV-PRO.
