Helida/Henglida UV2000 radio

[AK4FD]

Hello,
I am considering purchasing a new radio that does dual-band (VHF/UHF). It's nicer than BaoFeng/PoFung, and slightly more expensive. My issue is I can't seem to find software to program it, even tho it says it's PC programmable. It's similar to a Baofeng radio so my thought is CHIRP will work however I can't find any details saying that CHIRP will in-fact do the job. It is a Helida/Henglida CP-UV2000 radio and it's really nice looking with the big LCD display. Does anyone else own this radio, and if-so what software works to program it? Thanks!

••David

Never heard of it or the brand name.

It's actually a decent-looking radio, for the price... here, check it out: https://www.amazon.com/Helida-UV-2000-Dual-Band-128-Channel-136-174/dp/B06WWPHKQ1/ref=sr_1_302?ie=UTF8&qid=1494279465&sr=8-302&keywords=vhf+uhf+radio

Yeah I've already been on it, there's no software or download info. I don't want to buy it unless I know I can program it.

Looks like it may be simplex only. No mention of any Pl tones, DCS, CTCS?

That's a good question... I found another similar radio that does do CTCSS/DCS.. Here: https://www.amazon.com/HESENATE-KL-320-Handheld-Transceiver-Programming/dp/B01M5FOULU/ref=sr_1_301?ie=UTF8&qid=1494279465&sr=8-301&keywords=vhf+uhf+radio

I'd pass. No reviews on amazon, and the screenshots appear to be bad photoshops rather than actual photos of the display. Also the chinglish in the listing does not inspire confidence.

In the second listing, the brand name on the product photos doesn't match the brand name in the listing. And the rewiews are pretty horrible. Stay far far away.

What you're looking at is clones of clones sold by either shady or incompetent sellers (multiple complaints of completely wrong batteries sent with radios, etc.) Set your sights a bit higher, look for listings with more than 8 reviews, and pay attention to details like mismatches between the brand name on items in photos vs the brand name in the listing. You may get lucky, but more likely you're going to get burned.

You are probably right...

Terrible receiver IM specs.

What is the attraction of buying the cheapest possible radio?

Good Motorola radios can be found used at $100 if you know what to look for.

sorry to resurrect this old thread, but has anyone come across the software for this?

 

[jonwienke]

The real question is how many viruses and malwares you would get infected with if you did?

 

[W1AMX]

I have one of these and the software. Don't remember where I got it. No evidence of any malware detected. Will send to anyone interested. Works the same as most of the other programming apps out there.

Received reports of excellent audio, speaker could be better, sensitivity ok. No spectral purity check yet. Great form factor. Fits in hand nicely.

BTW its actually a tri-band radio with 220 also. Haven't swept the antenna that comes with it yet though.

Don't know if its Part 90 approved.

would be much appreciated!

CP-UV2000 Software

User W1AMX mentioned he has the programming software. If someone here has the software would you please email it to me at msuchar@earthlink.net. I have been searching for days and cannot find it anywhere. Even the manufacturer does not have it available.

Thanks for any help.
