UPDATE! YOU CAN Unlock a new UV-5R AND it's EASY! See this video: • How To Unlock A New Ba...
As you may know, the new Baofeng UV-5R radios are "locked" and cannot transmit on GMRS frequencies or FRS channels (which are the same as GMRS). But many "online experts" and know-it-alls have been spreading a rumor that you can easily hack the new Baofeng UV-5R radios and make them transmit on FRS and GMRS frequencies through this "one simple trick" in the CHIRP software.

I got a UV-5R from Amazon about a month ago. First Baofeng for me, first time using Chirp so no cloning from an old radio. I was able to go into Chirp "Setting" > "Other settings" and set the VHF limits to 136-174 and UHF to 400-520. I subsequently bought a UV-9G (I blame you for this new addiction) and in anticipation of possibly needing to protect life and property, I was able to key up each radio from the other.

This is probably old news, but I just bought a new UV5R (2023) and GMRS was locked. I found a source for unlocking it with the following: 1) Turn radio off 2) Press and hold down PTT+Monitor+VFO/MR button (do not let go) 3) While holding all three buttons down, power the radio on (continue holding) 4) You will see “FACTORY” flash on the screen confirming a factory reset That did the trick for me. Thanks for all the Baofeng info over the years, Randy!

I purchased four of them about a month ago, being a newb and eager to get into comms, and had them cloned by the local guy. They do not reach out to the forbidden zone. Makes a good scanner though! I have been behind the computer for hours researching mods/hacks/unlocks, but so far have come up empty. Now I am here surfing the comments. P.S. Thank you for ALL of your videos.

If you lack the dexterity to use the three-hand reset, you can use the TIDRadio Bluetooth dongle and app to input TX freqs in all bands the radio is capable of RX (Cept commercial FM) I have used this on many variants as well. In the event of an emergency, you can TX on marine, HAM, GMRS, etc. from one radio. The UV-9plus does tri-band TX as well.

I got three OLD STOCK radios in early 2021 for my bugout bag, and they were the 8W version. Then, hearing this video, I bought another just to screw around with. I checked it out as well and it, too, was either was an OLD STOCK or just the 8W counterfeit. Oh, and I picked up a 5W UV5R + model with that shiny fake chrome grille. They all transmitted on the GMRS channels except the last. I'm glad they did. Baofeng is the only company that adds "Plus" and Super-Dooper" to the names of its models that have _less_ capabilities than the prior models. Beware the *Super Duper Pro Galactic Deluxe UV5R* Model. It won't transmit on any channel!

I wonder if it's only a "Baofeng" thing? I don't own any Baofeng radios, however, I do own a few (other branded) TD UV-5R and TD UV-5RPro models (purchased in the last 2-4 months) that will transmit GMRS frequencies to each other and to my other GMRS radios like a TD GM-5R. It's possible those may be "old stock" also? I hand programmed all these radios to 462.575 and they will transmit and receive perfectly. Maybe the other distributors didn't get the memo?

I just purchased eight uv-5rs and now have to return them. Most people in my agency carried them as back ups to our official government radios. The first time I realized the potential was when I was coordinating helicopter drops on a wildland fire (in an emergency situation). When I moved my truck I dropped my govt handheld off the back of my truck and in to the bushes. My mobile had not yet been programmed with local frequencies. I pulled out my factory uv-5r with no freqs, went into frequency mode, punched in the freq and was back to communicating. After I gave the copter directions I drove back to my last location and dug around in the bushes until I found my BK. Now I always keep these radios on hand in case of emergency.

Hi there, super bummed that we can’t use theses new UV5R radios on GMRS. Can you please recommend another GMRS radio that will talk to the old UV5Rs? My organization standardized on UV5Rs and now we need new members to get something compatible without requiring all members to get a new setup if possible. Thanks!

@TheNotaRubicon 2 года назад
any GMRS or FRS radio can talk to the UV-5R's. For recommendations, watch any of the 50 or so review videos I've posted in the last year.

@@TheNotaRubicon thank you. Is it fair to say then that the GMRS lock out that Baofeng did was only applied to the UV5R type radios but that other Baofeng GMRS radios like the UV-9G would be able to communicate with older non blocked UV5Rs?

I bought several different types of these Chinese radios for simple communications between family. Nice to know where and when they can be used. I like having control over my toys.

Curious, I bought two new BF-F8HP's from B-Tech a month ago, and they have the ability to transmit on the "forbidden" bands. Any reason they changed the UV-5R and not the BF-F8HP's?

What about all the other "UV-5R's" that are just a different model number, like the BF-F8HP, Plus, or UV-9R? Are those locked as well?
@TheNotaRubicon
@TheNotaRubicon 2 года назад
I havnt heard any reports of that.. The UV-5R is the big seller and as far as I have seen, that's the one model that the FCC went after with their mean letter to Baofeng.

It seems the units being sold on Temu are all old stock because the two I ordered were able to transmit on GMRS frequencies and communicate with my motorola t801 radios (channel 3 on motorola) without issue.

Can't you just go into Chirp and just Adjust the frequency limits On the TX and RX or will that only work with a old UV-5R?
