Guest Kirk Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Is there anything special to do that will turn on the GPS info? The 3 options in the menu are all on. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRXR255 Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Heres a good start: https://www.miklor.com/COM/Review_UV17proGPS.php Specifically, this part: GPS Capability The UV-17 Pro GPS supports both GPS and BDS modes. The coordinates and elevation measurements are exact as expected. This includes location sharing between two UV17 Pro GPS radios. The UV17 Pro GPS also has the ability to send GPS coordinates between two radios. Verify GPS capability To verify that your radio has GPS, Menu 4 should display GNSS to select the GPS options. When GPS is turned ON, a long press of the Blue key in the upper right of the keypad will display the GPS screen.

Guest Kirk Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 I purchased a second radio to be able to send info back and forth. The first radio has a defective GPS function. New one has GPS in green. Faulty one is red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Dean Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 Help please! I accidentally turned on my UV17-Pro-Max while gripping it so tightly that the PTT and maybe the FM buttons were held down. The radio entered a mode where it acts only as a flashlight. PTT turns on and off the flashlight, and there is nothing on the display screen (dark screen). Does anyone know how to get the radio back into its normal mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kirk Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 Take the battery off, turn radio on and then off without battery installed. Replace battery, should be fine. Mine did that once here also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mark Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 Hello. I just got one of these UV-17 Pro GPS radios. The advertisement said it could do a wireless copy of another radios frequency, but I cant find how to do it. Some sites tell me to hold the blue button to enable frequency copy but that activates the GPS display. (and that info is for the non GPS model) Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks.

Guest Lawrence Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Go to MENU (Green button) / RADIO SETTINGS (3) / PRESS SK2 (26) / Select SEARCH SK2 is the small button below the PTT button on the side. This setting allows you to choose FM RADIO, SCAN, SEACH, or VOX to be activated by this button. It's a bit of a pain not to have a dedicated button for Search, but I the feature can come in handy. You can also set the SK2 button's function in software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
