Transmitter Power Drop on Btech UV 50X2 50W Dual Band

[KD8DVR]

The BTECHS use a final rated at 6 watts! These are rebadged QYT radios that have custom firmware. They use an A5m06 as it's output transistor. A very bad design flaw. I'm seeing on my Facebook group for the BTECH 25X4 that failures are essentially an epidemic. I actually just reported this flaw to BTECH, since it was fresh on my mind. The sheer number of failures justify my contacting them.

Got answer from BTECH. They use an A5M16, so it isn't a 6 watt final. I can't find a datasheet, so I don't really know what the a5m16 does. 16 watts? QYT still uses the lower rated chip, though.

I don't care what their web site says. I've seen it before.

Why did BTech or BaoFeng Tech obtain their own FCC grantee code and FCC IDs if they are simply importing and selling Baofeng products?
Why don't their products have Baofeng's FCC grantee code/ID?
Why are none of BTech's products the same as the ones on Baofeng's corporate Chinese web site?
Why does Baofeng's corporate Chinese web site have a page warning about other companies using their trademark? Home_BAOFENG official website_baofengradio.com

Simple.
Many products sold by BTECH are NOT made by Baofeng That is likely why they go by "BTECH" now, instead of "Baofeng Tech". They source their radios from many manufacturers and then have them put through an additional manufacturing step which could involve proprietary components or firmware tweaks. The UV50X2 is made by QYT, then goes thru another manufacturing step to a larger final, as well as firmware enhancements and component/firmware updates to be compliant with USA standards. Even the ones made by Baofeng have additional steps in manufacturing, so, really they wouod NEED a different FCC ID, since the radio isn't identical to the Baofeng equivalent (if applicable) Makes sense to me. Some of this was told to me directly by BTECH. you could always ask them.

I would not believe anything BTECH/AnyTone Tech told me unless I could verify it by other sources.
