    The differences could be related to the squelch settings you have on the
    two radios. If you set the Yaesu radio with a more sensitive squelch, it
    would pick it up easier. Your antennas can also play a role in differences.

    No. In fact Baofeng sometimes and without any reason looses incoming signal
    and receiver remains deaf. It has happened to me quite often. I can’t
    explain why.

    looking at your video of the “test”, seem’s the baofeng is picking up more
    than the Yaseu. A lot more.

    My mate had to resolder something in his fresh Bao and now it works again.
    Just wondering for how long. I compared prices and hardly used VX-7R for
    $250 was much better choice. It’s a lifetime radio! My mates also noticed
    that they hear me much better than others on chinese toys.
