Baofeng for Beginners: How to Use Baofeng UV-5R Buttons and More 

It's the t-1,000!

🤭🤣

Lol. I thought that was odd too

Five!! Who’s holding the camera? That’s just such a weird way to start a video

And two mouths 🤣

One for working one for twerking and one for jerkin

@@chrisaskme811 🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol... i literally died laughing

Your welcome, our pleasure. Thanks for the feedback.

agreed I got really lost when he asked too much questions

I was thinking the same

Forgive them there too bright or smart that they become stupid lol

yeah i just bought it n i have no clue what any of this is. you know of any more simple videos?

Dude just walk all over the video

Ever seen Total Recall? Yeah lol

haha are u kidding?

how do i use FM radio

As Chinese manuals go, it's not that bad really.

To get the names you will have to name (alpha tag) your memory channels. Programming can be done via the face of the unit but is way easier to do in the CHIRP software.

The units I have purchased though this link do include an FCC ID in addition to the label. And that is from multiple sellers. That said, there is no guarantee that the one you purchase from the link will have the ID in addition to the label. This is due to the multiple number of sellers on Amazon that sell the same unit. It is completely dependent on the seller and who their supplier is. If you are highly concerned about having the ID, I recommend contacting the seller you plan to use to check on the matter before making your purchase . As far as grandfathering, radios you own aren't going to be stripped from your hands. If you have em, use-em. Just stay legal on the bands you transmit on.

Real simple. Use Chirp.

Thanks for the constructive feedback. We will take note of that for future videos.

Wide and and narrow band should be dependent on the band you are using. If in ham, use wideband, GMRS or marine use wide, public safety or FRS use narrow. The radios on each end of the conversation need to have the same setting or one won’t be able to hear the other at distances greater than a few hundred feet.

The transmit LED is supposed to be red when you key up. That means you're transmitting.

In the works.

I don’t know how to use this and just watched part of it and am a little more lost if possible

Did u ever get that answer ? I need answer too

Yeah, talk about backseat driving... Couldn't make sense of much since the other dude kept pullin this guy off track.

Could be, but probably a programming issue. Check to make sure they have the same TSQL/PL settings and be sure the repeater mode split is not turned on. Also make sure both are in The same FM narrow/wide setting.

That was definitely weird, considering repeaters are the main thing people are going to be using it for.

Watch again at half speed maybe.

Yes you can. Program all radios for a MURS or FRS frequency.

No it does not.

Akshay Solomon so they do....but not on the frequencies you will want to use. Those will have to be tuned using the keypad manually or you can save them to memory using the keypad and menu (I.e. face programming). Our NOAA Weather Radio Tuning Video shows you how to set the frequency on the UV-5r as well as a few other radios. While the video discusses the NOAA channels, the tuning process is the same for any frequency the radio is capable of. Baofeng face programming isn’t the easiest way to program in the world, this is why most people prefer to computer program at this point using software. If you want to go that route you will need an FTDI chipset programming cable (about $20) and use the freeware called CHIRP. There are a number of videos out on RU-vid about chirp programming you can check out. We hope to have a few soon as well but no timeline yet.

I think each radio needs to be on its own repeater which is local to it's current location. But what do I know lol. Anybody?

Curious myself maybe someone can supply a worthy reply

Provided you have made our MURS channel 10 match the typical MURS Channel 10, yes.

I figured it out for anyone else that has this question. For 99.9 you have to enter zeros afterwards. So 99.900 and it will go to that station.

I thought it was receive, hopefully someone who knows can answer lol

Yes

Just ordered one as well!!

How good is the fm radio?

@@yellow3222 it works, but don't expect great sounding music from the speaker.

Got mine online a few hours ago, +1 to my 6 radios 😂

Yes

You have to remember the golden rule , Dual band antennas , they are built to size , the ideal height for a handie antenna is about 12.5 inches, it's the power side where when we say use SSB on 2mtr , youd just cook an antenna that attaches to a handie ! You'll be sound with them, but they are Bnc fitting yaesus and kenwood/icon, some are sure screw in, you can get an adapter , but buy a Genuine Yagg 771. Not these 2.quid copies , you'll pay 15 quid for a top whip real Yagari 771

Not without BNC to screw in Jak,,,, Saw a great QT last night , qestion , just checking it wasnt below ,, " can i use a ken/yaesu dual band whip on a Boaef,,,,, !st,,,, id be saying " It should have been used straihht away, buyt they still aint great,,, bare in mind this person was licensed, """ What about the height "? its 15 inch,,,, well Yea, 12,5 inch Diamond , its basic Antenna maths .. Height V freq .... i did tho warn not to use a home base up to 1000 watts antenna, IT CAN SERIOUSLY BURN

Maybe try doing a review like this one :)

that's right

Definitely. I was like wtf. I'm out

Glad I’m not the only one lol

Should “have” not “should of.”

@@jutaloopiedo *should half

They may require you to transmit a CTCSS tone. The menu in your radio lets you program this in, but you'll have to know what the tone is. I would google the frequency you're hearing them on, plus the name of your city or county. You can also check a free website and app called Repeaterbook to see if the station you're hearing is listed close to you.

I think you can name each channel using the programming cable and CHIRP software

Max characters of 7, u can change it using CHIRP ☺️

No. It is showing the frequencies you last typed in while in frequency mode.

There is a way to do this. It requires the computer to set up though as does being able to name a channel. I set A(line 1) to read the channel name I set which I use more commonly. I set B(line 2) to read the frequency. I can then navigate A to the interested channel name, read its memory number on the right, and then move B to the same memory number to read out the frequency and its behavior.

Yes

Short answer is no. Not unless you are connecting it to a echolink or all star enabled local repeater. And that would still require programming either on the PC or via the face of the radio. For what you are talking about, a DMR Hotspot and DMR Radio sounds link a good plan. But those are MUCH more complex to get up and cost a little more $$.

That is a question that has no singular answer. It is dependent on your terrain, and the antenna you use primarily. The shortest answer is that it operates inside of a "line of sight". Radio to radio directly it is typical to get a bout a mile or two, just like walmart walkie talkies.

Sir ask k lng po kng paano magkonick nito

Channel 6 po freequincy nmin ang skn po kc wlang number

The letters above the top number line (top frequency line) are associated with menu functions or the type of transmission you are using, They are dependent on the radio settings, VFO settings, or channel settings. See a display layout here (www.universal-radio.com/catalog/ht/0205disp.jpg)

dual band so you can have a backup channel

@@codyman117 dule band is two bands like 2 meter and 70cm eg frequency starting 145.000 and 446.000 are two different bands

i’ll dumb it down for anyone who’s confused, it allows you to have two channels preset where you can switch between either with just a push of the a/b button so you can have one channel for regular talk and maybe use the other one for important info nit in order to do this you need to (IMPORTANT) duel recive and single transmit so you can hear both channels

Are you sure it is the UV-5R and not another Baofeng version? All the 5Rs I have seen have the band button. Some of the other Baofeng models do not. The UV5Rs also only have 2 bands UHF and VHF. However, usually (on most models) you can change bands simply by entering the frequency directly via the keypad. If the radio is capable it will take you right there when in VFO mode.

Talon Survival I just checked the label, it is a 5 R. Suppose to be , 2m, 70cm and 440. I can take a pic of the front to email you, if you’d like

@@wallyjackieturgeon3070 mine also has no band button but it is not needed (440 is a 70cm band) purchased within the past two months.

@@wallyjackieturgeon3070 interesting. Yes please send me an image. Would like to check it out. Front and the back label please (if you don't mind).
