Programming the Baofeng UV-5R Radio for PMR 446 and CTCSS 

Exactly what I was after, superb and thanks...

TX and RX CTCSS are set separately... this saved me lot of time debugging why i cannot receive from standard PMR radio... THX. 73!

Thanks, I just got 4 of these. This is exactly what I need.

Used this video to program my new Baofeng UV-5R III Perfect!! Brilliant video. Didn't think it would be this simple! 😂🍻🍻

Brilliantly done. Thanks

Very helpful. Thank you😀

Brilliant guide thanks

Thank you so much, awesome!

Nice one 😎🤙🏾sorted ... can you set the c t c s s before you save the channels??

If you switch ctcs on before you start this process you don't need to re save at the end. Thanks for your videos.

The TXP keeps switching back to High on channels 1-16 when I set to low, but on 101-116 with CTCSS enabled it remembers to stay on Low, any ideas? Also, you have "S" & "N" on the top line of your display, what is this from? I reset my entire handset a while back thinking it would put it back to how it was when it arrived, as you probably know, it just wiped everything, so just wondering what I do or don't have switched on that I'll need.

Thanks for this Just got a uv5r from Amazon, delivered next day but came with, of all things, German instructions. Oh well 16 PMR channels now saved and I'm going to add a couple of local repeaters so I can earwig on the HAMs ready for doing my foundation course

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?

my UV5R Will not take 446.006 as soon as i put it in it just says cancel

I have problem to transmit to hyt power 446 radio. I can listen but not answering. And I was set up by software all PMR channels.

I’m having trouble with my bafeng 5r some of the local repeaters with Ht antenna and mobile antenna

Nice clear simple video on menu settings for a Baofeng. Unfortunately it's illegal to use a Baofeng to transmit on PMR because it's output is over 0.5W (half a watt). The other problem is the antenna has to be non removable for PMR radio but the Baofengs antenna is removable. I know many people still use them for PMR but i just thought i'd say as some people might think twice knowing the law for it's use and technical requirements. Still a good clear baofeng video though so a lot of people will find it easier to set one up.👍😊

I just got mine have I got to do this and why..? thanks

Great easy explanation without all the bull shit, thanks.

can you program the marine band channels and demo Rx/Tx please?

Programme to PMR 446 can the transition w increase to higher and will the range increase

I need help programming my UV-5R to our stores HT's and Plantronics headsets, please.

This is one of the best and easy to follow videos I've seen from someone to set these up. Is there a way once we've programmed them to channel 1,2,3,4 etc to just hit the number 1 button and we swap to that frequency?

Hello I found your video for putting in frequency channels on pmr for baofeng uv5r but it doesn’t save the channels??

Is PMR Narrow or Wide band in the Settings Menu ?

Do I need to program the repeater in if so how please

So if you did this for 2 radios, does the ctcss receive and transmit code have to match on both radios to work?

Hello. for longer distances what do you recommend for baofeng uv 5r? narrow or wide band? Thanks

Same here any suggestion would be appreciated, must be missing something!

nice video, unfortunately I have an issue following it. I got a baofeng gt-5r, because the uv-5r wasnt in stock anymore. when I type the last digit of the pmr channel, it says "cancel" and the frequency I typed is gone. Is that an issue with my model or am I doing sth. wrong?

What’s this used for ? These numbers ?

I just got my first radio retevis ra79 I do not yet have a license but I will get one in the future just starting off is there any channels I can transmit on without a license in the uk or am I only allowed to listen Untill I get my licence ?

What mode should it be on fm or nfm?

Hi, I it’s work with the BaoFeng UV-5RA? Thank you

another question is I try to put my local airport freq in butt its has 7 number and its only 6 on my uv5r can some body help im new to this

in channel mode my ctcss keeps disabling itself on recieving and transmitting any advice?

Thank you

confirm that for T-CTCS, re-save channels a) 446.006 onward, or b) 452.150 onwards?

Brilliant tutorial. Clear, concise and effective. I’m now pissing myself laughing messing with my local KFC and McDonalds drive thru!

io follow the steps but when try to enter the freq.. on the last digit say cancel and back to the home screen

How do u set ur radio up to talk to people as I've try but know reply

I need help getting frequency codes for my area I live Pittsburgh pa 15221

I've had the thing nearly a year and I still haven't got a pot of glue how to use the bleeding thing...🤪 I'm not mentally handicapped or owt but I'm gonna learn how to use this thing even if it kills me 🤣 👍

So let's say I'm on channel 7, with CTCSS turned on chatting with a friend. Will someone on normal channel 7 without CTCSS turned on be able to hear what we're saying? Or do they have to be on the same 'subchannel' to hear us talking?

Hi Black Wolf I'm having a little problem and I'm wondering if you can help me. At work they use a Motorola EVX-S24 UHF - VHF, frequency range of 403 to 480 and bought my own Radio which is a Baofeng UV-5R plus and I'm trying to connect both Radio but it's not Working for me. Another thing I'm programming the Baofeng to work with the Motorola and I'm using the keys because I don't have the software.

can you program the 446.003125 for the 32 channels using Chirp on a Baofeng or is it only the analogue 16?

Is it possible to lower the power output? For instance 0.5 w?

In sweden wee have a 446 mhz radio

I can't get pmr 446, when I'm typing in the last number it says cancel.

How do I change from vhf to uhf. It works on frequency mod but not on channel mod grr

Hi when I enter frequency on last number it says cancels,, wat am I doing wrong

where do i find software to program these via the lead that ive bought pls

Explanation done marbled mouthed!

Why want my uv5r stay on narrow band on channel mode doing my head in

Hi when I’m trying to type in a frequency each time I get to the last digit especially o it says cancel any ideas

rhanks for this could not work out why ctss would not attach to the pmr channels.👍

Hi I am having trouble finding people in and around Hartlepool north east can you help I am new to all this there might be something I am doing wrong.

Hi is this actually allowed as it should be 0.5W on these frequencies? I thought this model only goes down to 1W? Please clarify thanks.

I cannot enter UHF frequencies into mine. I enter the 446 frequency but it doesnt show and only shows 524.000. Any ideas?

thanks good help this

Hey thanks for the guide. I have followed this threw. And for some reason im still getting transmitions from cheap 8 channel radios even with my ctcss and rest. Any advice

I currently own 3 radios. How do I program them to talk to each other. Im pretty lost. Im understanding the menus a little better but.....

I'm getting a bit lost here. Why are we saving these frequencies? :)

what should is set the widht band to?

thank you. just stand still please🙂

I really don't understand why people make a fuss about using these on 446mhz yes its technically not aloud but ofcom do not care. Its an unpoliced license exempt band...

Do you need to remove the offset for this?

can you tune into military

Tip: Switch off auto lock before starting this video, i got muddled trying to beat the lock.

Thank you for the video but I got lost on this video.

Why dont you turn the voice off in menu?

I'm relt struggling to hear anything. Cant hear anything

Not that I'm bothered but the uv5r can't transmit on 0.5 watts so can never be legal on 446mhz. I could be wrong, maybe with foundation licence. 👍

Is 8w

MINE WORKS IN STEPS OF 6.5 KHZ FOR SOME STRANGE REASON

Steps need to be 6.25

It is illegal to use this radio on PMR446 frequency range.

Wouldn't be so bad if we can actually see your radio screen

A

But of course, you wouldn't be using this on pmr to transmit would you !? No fixed body aerial and over 0.5W (500 milliwatts). So against the law/ofcom

txt

Your going too fast slow it right down show what you're pressing in which order 👍 I'm trying to keep up. Yes I'm pausing the video but you're rushing.

Very sorry but I’m a complete idiot and it difficult to follow. The reason why is buttons are small fingers are large I’m watching on my iPhone hence hard to work out whats going on.

You don't know how to explain

Honestly who cares. 🤣

Good video but also illegal. These radios are to high powered for the UK (0.5w). Would be easier to pay for a licence from OffComm & be legal
