Baofeng UV-5r Repeater Programming [UNDER 5 MINS] 

I am 82 years old and made up my mind I was going to check some things off my bucket list before I pass. One was getting a Ham license and learning to program and use my own radio. That is where you come in. I had simplex down pat last night but I must have looked at 10 videos on how to program a Baofeng radio for Repeaters. You did just what you promised. Taught me how to program my first repeater in about 5 minutes. The St. Lous Park Minnesota site I am programming has two frequencies. I assume I do the second one on the B or bottom part of the Channel. At least I have the top one done. I think that is the transmit area. This was three years ago so I doubt you monitor these comments any longer but if you do Thanks. I have no idea how people can make something so easy so complex. Anyway, thanks again. 2/8/2024.

OMG. That was one of the best HAM instructions. Better than all the HAM so called experts. Make more on this radio please.

Great job! I've just programmed my new UV-5R for my local repeaters. Crystal clear and thorough. Thank you!

Great job walking us through this programming, it would have been nice to hear your hit the repeater 👍🏾

Great tutorial! So many of the other videos on the topic leave out steps or move too fast or have poor vid’ quality. Thanks for taking it slow & easily breaking it down .

Wow, that was a FANTASTIC tutorial! Thank you for making it easy to follow!!

Good job you made it look very easy to follow Keep up the good work

THANKS BEST SIMPLE WAY TO PROGRAM YOUR UV5R

Thank you for this repeater programming tutorial. I didn´t know about being able to scan only the programmed chanels. I just bought a UV-17R. The menu numbers are different but now I know how to program it. - Dave - KB1YFR

Well explained I’m working on my Technician license and this was a great how-to 👍

Best video out! Great job, short sweet and straight to the point...

I enjoy your video. I have been making the process to complicated and failing. You instructions make it simple. Thanks.

Best repeater setup video, short but concise thank you

Thanks for making it simple, great job!

Your video is awesome... made all simple!!! Thank you

easy and straight to the point, Thanks

Interesting thank you sir so much will check you out periodically....

Good info. Clear and easy understand. Thanks.

This was a really , really helpful video and you did it so simple. I will have to say that I do like simple. Well, thanks again and I did subscribe to your channel. I wouldn't say that I am a geek....lol...but I think that I am changing!!!

Really thank youuuuu very much for this video!!! Wow! Finally something understandable and very super useful!!!!

Right on man thanks a lot I got a radio coming in a few days and had no idea but now I do.

Just what I needed….thanks so much

Nice one! Thanks much for this.

Great video. Should really help. If a frequency does not show a offset what should I do ?

I don’t know how well mines gonna work in my area because apparently there’s only two analog repeaters

Great Video. So question. The Repeater Freq. stays in the top line?? Add Channels to that on the bottom line. Gonna program mine tonight. Thank You in advance

Anything wrong with using dedicated rows A for output (monitor) and B for input (PTT)? I tried to participate in a net recently but they couldn't hear me. Set the Tx CTCSS tone on row B and everything.

Good video

I am having a problem getting my computer to recognize the radio..it doesn't show up on the port..perhaps it a driver? can seem to find one.

Very good explanation! I could not save channel, iven I got confirm. Why???

I bought a used UV9R Plus that already had repeater frequencies programed in memory. Recently one of those repeaters added a PL tone. Can and how do I add this tone to the already programed repeater frequency or must I delete the frequency and reprogram it back in? Also, do I input the tone on R CTCS as well as T CTCS?

Nothing is showing in tone in my local repeater. Is it necessary to put tone? Please reply

i never seen so many positive comments

Thank you! I have two questions: 1) What about repeaters that have tone up/tone down? 2) What about repeaters that do not list a tone?

These Repeaters are in my area (Hollister). I would like for a GMRS group, im not sure if one already exists

Quick question: I have two (2) Baofeng UV-5Rs. I have them set and programed identically the same in the menu. I also have them on the same frequency. When I transmit from Baofeng radio # 1 to Baofeng radio # 2 it works fine however when I try to transmit from Baofeng radio # 2 to Baofeng radio # 1, the Baofeng radio # 1 will not pick up the transmission from the other Baofeng radio #2. SO I cannot hear any signal/transmission from Baofeng radio # 1. Do you think there is something wrong with Baofeng radio # 1?

Where is transmitting frq recorded ?

Hello there. U just programmed only radio as repeater?

Isn't there an output and input frequency? Why is there only one?

yours worked when all others failed

So if I want to listen to my local PD frequency do I have to go through these steps?

Ok. I'm able to confirm radio check with other people, I have 2 of these radios both set up exactly the same, but I can't hear my transmission on the opposite radio. Anyone know why? I wanna leave one at home with my family when I'm out at work or out camping..

The info for my local repeater does not show an offset value. Hoe do I proceed? Thanks.

What about '*' step ? show in other tutorials ?

how to know rpeter frequncy anthor country????

How far ? Can you talk using a repeater and utilizing this little radio ?

are you in the 831? i just got my licence.

Thank u ...bofeang haters..not u thank u...

Hello sir how do I use my baofeng radio to call other countries. Like using Allstars or echolink. Can I program my baofen to dothat without using a computer . I already know how to used local repeaters for local coverage but how can I used them with radio only to call other countries

Geezers, wow

Old geezers? LOL!

These radios are absolute garbage and anything on RU-vid telling otherwise is getting paid to do so

i just got the local repeater to turn off when i tried to help a guy lost in the woods. fuck the local hams!
