Interesting what would make the smiley not work the same on baofeng. I mean it's the same grms freq. Can a radio be tuned to using only using a certain wavelength. Can't imagine, but then I'm not an expert at all on this stuff.

@FirstUnitedTactical 3 месяца назад

@marke3218 Ya know, I think the same as you on this topic, but I've seen it in a lot of the testing I do. I always take multiple antennas and radios out on each test just to play around, and some just don't play well with others it seems.

@NickBEADG 2 месяца назад

So I can listen to my police even though they are on digital at 155 frequency?

@FirstUnitedTactical 2 месяца назад

@NickBEADG You can only hear analog, which some local smaller towns are still analog. It all depends on where you live. Big cities are P25 digital these days and these radios will not pick up P25. Google your town or cities municipal radio frequencies. They are all public online.

@NickBEADG 2 месяца назад

How does this compare to the UV-17R Plus?

@FirstUnitedTactical 2 месяца назад

All of the Baofengs (except my 5RH) will compare very similar on transmit and receive. This video is a GRMS only radio, and the 17R Pro is a Dual Band (UHF/VHF), but I'm sure can also be unlocked to run GMRS. The 17R Pro has GPS (with other Baofeng users), which is pretty cool. The 5G Pro is a simple, very compact radio, that performs very well. It really depends on what your needs are. I've had a BTECH GMRS Pro with GPS, but it doesn't matter unless all of you have have it and are all out hiking or camping seperate from each other. If you don't do things like that, GPS doesn't matter. The size of the 17R Pro is larger though. To give you a quick summary, the 17R is a HAM radio and this 5G Pro is a GMRS radio. Both will receive a large number of frequencies and talk very well. But, the 17R is able to transmit on 2m/70cm bands, IF you have a HAM license....

@ztc1689 Месяц назад

I’ve had a UV5G plus for a few days now and just really don’t like the screen. Looking at replacing with another gmrs radio, either the 5g pro, 5R GMRS version, gmrs uv9r, or tidradio h8. Kinda want something a little tuffer and no color screen. Any suggestions??

@FirstUnitedTactical Месяц назад

If you want to stay budget friendly, go with a Tidradio H3 (for a small handheld) or the H8 (for a Baofeng 5g Plus size). I've never had good luck with the 5g Plus. If you want to spend a little more money, go with a Wouxun KG-935g Plus for about $149 at BuyTwoWayRadios, use this link to get to the site: www.buytwowayradios.com/?cmid=amsreGRvTmttM0k9&afid=WFdCTkoxNUhOVkk9&ats=OFk2YXZIcjQ0NkU9 But, they have a lot of good radios there, and also BetterSafeRadio.com which with this link: bettersaferadio.com/pro/first/ Coupon code: First7 Wouxun is an excellent radio, but sometimes hard to see the screen in direct sunlight. Tidradio H3 and H8 are absolute winners in my book when it comes to a budget though.

@ztc1689 Месяц назад

@@FirstUnitedTacticalI’ve got the H3 and love it. Naturally I should probably get the H8. Thank you

@FirstUnitedTactical Месяц назад

@ztc1689 Well, there's not any advantage from the H3 to H8. Larger battery I believe, but the 3 does 10x more than the 8.... I just did this video for this radio to hit the market tomorrow. I will send it in a different reply, but maybe this will do what you want, except, the screen is similar to the 5G Plus... take a look tho!

Let me ask you something? How are the voice prompts on this radio? Thanks for any input you can provide.

@FirstUnitedTactical 3 месяца назад

I'm not sure what you mean. You have English, Chinese, or OFF. If you have it on English, yes you will hear a slight Chinese accent. But you can turn on and off voice, key beep, and all that annoying stuff.

@shaunteckno 3 месяца назад

@@FirstUnitedTactical the voice prompts actually help me out, as a visually impaired person. I was hoping that it did have Voice prompts, and I’m glad to hear that it did. I’m simply asking, does this radio read the menus at all? Thanks very much.

@FirstUnitedTactical 3 месяца назад

@shaunteckno oh. Yes, it reads allowed the menu you are on. It does not talk out loud and tell you the channel you switch to though.

@shaunteckno 3 месяца назад

@@FirstUnitedTactical do you have to press confirm, or enter, before it does this, or do you just arrow down, and the voice will tell you the different menu options? Thanks for any assistance. I really do appreciate it.

@FirstUnitedTactical 3 месяца назад

@shaunteckno I don't have the radio in front if me but I will try to remember. Press MENU, press up arrow or down arrow to the VOICE option. Press MENU again to make a selection. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through English, Chinese, or Off. Press MENU again to store that selection. Press END or red button to leave MENU. The radio comes with the voice already on, and in English. This will help you out!

@bobinmontana777 3 месяца назад

Of course most State and local police and emergency organizations use trunking. Plus many including fire are using 800mhz , not listed to scan. Over the years I found most of the interesting bands are this way.

@FirstUnitedTactical 3 месяца назад

It really depends on where you are also. All of San Antonio, and most of our surrounding metro cities are 154.xxx VHF and anyone can listen. My specific FD is on P25, but there are a ton of different departments that can be heard. But, it all depends on where you are....

@DavidKeasey 2 месяца назад

Not sure what good the "Air Band" option is... Unless I'm wrong, this radio is entirely FM, and Air Band is AM.

@FirstUnitedTactical 2 месяца назад

@DavidKeasey Well it's Rx only, but yes it works. When I go into San Antonio I put it on the control tower and you can hear Depart and Arrival. Plus, I can hear Medical helicopters on 123.xxx.

@CrenshawDawg04 25 дней назад

So do you recommend this over the 5g plus or the 15 pro? I am a newbie here and want to have some kind of assurance of communication if something happens.

@FirstUnitedTactical 25 дней назад

@CrenshawDawg04 Between the Plus and Pro, the PRO is much better than the Plus. But, honestly what's your budget? There are lots of other radios out there and if you are going to just buy one (for emergencies), I might be able to steal you in a different direction. What was your price range on spending?

@CrenshawDawg04 25 дней назад

@@FirstUnitedTactical no more than 60-80 bucks. Would like to keep one in my truck and one at home. If it gets stolen or get damaged, it wouldn’t hurt me to purchase another

@FirstUnitedTactical 25 дней назад

@CrenshawDawg04 Hmmmm.... OK, if I was you, I would buy a 2 pack of TIDradio H3 models. I will send you the link because there are two different models come with different antennas. The 5G Pro is an awesome radio, but you get more options like Bluetooth programming with the H3. Plus, the H3 picks up CB channels 27Mhz also.... stand by for the link.

@@CrenshawDawg04 look at the other reply, but here's the link: amzn.to/3AUQMAg

@FirstUnitedTactical 25 дней назад

@CrenshawDawg04 This is now an additional reply.... sorry! The main thing you want to look for in the H3 is getting the 771 antenna and not the Airband antenna. The 771 is a 130/440 antenna and it rocks for long distance talking. Plus, the H3 is HAM and GMRS. The 5g Pro is only gmrs. In an emergency, you can actually call out for help on Ham bands, and you don't get that option on the Baofeng 5g Pro. Sorry for all the replies. Take a look at some of my other testing videos, especially the on specifically for the H3.

@jdock32778 3 месяца назад

Would you rather have this UV-5G Pro or Tidradio TD-H3? The H3 transmits Ham and GMRS.

@FirstUnitedTactical 3 месяца назад

You are correct. I have 4 H3's which 2 of them are faulty from the beginning shipments. My other two rock... Most of my antenna test videos from past are used with an H3. You have more options with an H3, but there are some people that absolutely dispise Tidradio, and the 5G Pro is their alternative. For a true emergency situation, the H3 will get you more communication.

@jdock32778 3 месяца назад

@FirstUnitedTactical I was thinking of getting a second H3. I haven't heard of bad ones out there. What are the issues?

@FirstUnitedTactical 3 месяца назад

@jdock32778 The bad are all done with. No more have been shipped out that I've heard. They have also had 4 or 5 updates since then, which fix most issues. 1 of mine wouldn't hold a charge, and the 2nd would not allow firmware updates, and it would not transmit over 3w. If you purchase bow, you are getting a solid radio. There's coupons codes in my descriptions on videos if you want to save 10%.

@markr.1984 2 месяца назад

No thanks! One thing about most, if not all Chinese radios is that they have no ext. DC jacks. Can't run them from your vehicle' s battery/alternator. Nor could run them from a back up battery in your home. I have a Duracell 9Ah AGM battery in my bedroom that I can hook up to my Yaesus, my Kenwood and even my old Radio Shack HTX-202. I just have different size barrel adaptor connectors that I can quickly switch out to run any of my radios, except for a couple of Baofengs someone gave me. They don't have external power jacks, so you use their batteries only. Hams care a lot about the ability to run things in an emergency, different world from GMRS but I'm not knocking GMRS. I plan to get a GMRS license because I'm not dumb. And air band does not move me because I have at least nine radios of many different types (including ham transceivers) that get air band.

@FirstUnitedTactical 2 месяца назад

@markr.1984 The extended batteries for the UV5R's are capable of USB charging, and all accessories for the 5 series are compatible as well. No one would ever try to compare a Yaesu or Kenwood to a $34 radio, as I'm sure you were not suggesting that. I talk to HAMs and GMRS guys all the time, and around here, everyone talks on our GMRS repeaters. It's easy to get, cheap on the wallet and even the veteran Extra Class guys know. Also, around here, everyone is friendly and helps each other as much as they can. It's a good solid area for communication and knowledge. No one puts anyone down because we don't know if a cheap Chinese radio is all "that newbie" can afford. Don't forget that most of the GMRS guys coming on board have never even had CB's before, and don't know it actually stands for Constantly Broke. They will learn in their own time, but until then, we all encourage folks to get any radio, and start listening. Obviously get a license if they want to join in... Have a good night.

@bulldogbrower6732 2 месяца назад

These newer Baofeng radios have USB-C, meaning that with the $5.00 adapter you just plug it into the cigarette lighter. However most new cars have the USB receptacle. Better, all cell phones have a USB receptacle. There are many ways to charge USB radios.

im a redneck and so being that i come from nothing and we had to figure out ways to make things work. that being said you can buy a 150W DC to AC converter at walmart for like 15 or 20$. you can also find a car battery charger or on marketplace cheap and you can use any 12v battery. ive used my kids power wheels batter to power those 25 feet patio/gazibo lights when the power goes out. is it pretty? no its not, it looks meth headed but it works and if you wanted to you can go to harbor freight and buy an ammo box to put it all in or some other plastic box if you want to use a larger car battery. this passed winter my wifes heater core stopped up in her jeep so there wasnt much heat coming out. i put a 2000W inverter and a small space heater in her jeep to get us by until i could get the time to get at that heater core.
