This video also helped me with the Baofeng BF-T18. The instructions on the radio say that I need to use a programming software to enable VOX. But while waiting for the cable to arrive I found this video. On this model you have to switch on the radio while pressing PTT and the Down button. I found it with a bit of experimentation. Thanks for triggering me
I had to look for an instructional video because I was struggling to get this to work. After watching your video, I discovered that I was doing it right, BUT I still can't get it to turn VOX on. Anything I might be doing wrong?
@BRAVO JULIET Hello, Thanks for the video. I't seems to be working for most of the people. But when I do this I get only "Power on" message. Do you have any ideas why this is happening? Thanks in advance.
Great I got VOX working, is there a way to adjust the sensitivity as on one unit it doesnt react very quickly but on the other it is picking up every slight noise and transmitting..?
If you use it on public and the authorities catches you yes ! Hehehe so you definitely need a license to operate those radios cause, those radio is not a toy at all, they can go long range communication as I have experience.
Okay, first you go to channel 1 then turn the radio after that hold down ptt button and the monitor button at the same time while turning on the radio. That should work if not just let me know
Yeah just go to channel 15, and then turn off the radio. After that hold down the ptt and the monitor button then turn it on while hold those 2 buttons.
