The BF-TECH CA BF-F5XT Dual-Band Amateur Ham Radio delivers dependable, high-efficiency VHF and UHF communications engineered specifically for licensed amateur radio operators. Built with an upgraded RF processing chipset, high-contrast inverted LCD screen, and ruggedized housing, the BF-F5XT provides the essential features needed for local repeater access, simplex emergency comms, and active club net check-ins.

Configured specifically for North American amateur spectrum allocations under ITU Region 2 (144–148 MHz 2M VHF and 430–450 MHz 70cm UHF), the BF-F5XT gives operators full VFO frequency tuning and 128 alpha-numeric memory channels. With true dual-frequency watch, standard CTCSS/DCS sub-audible tone filtering, a bright LED flashlight, and a full DTMF keypad, it represents an accessible, reliable entry into VHF/UHF amateur radio operating.
