So I'll preference this with, I'm still a noob with HAM radios. So I was using a K5plus for work and it worked with no issues until my clumsiness came into play. So I set up the UV-25M with all the same settings (through the radio settings not CHIRPS). I need to use the FRS band(462.56250) it receives just fine, but I can't transmit. I have the CTCSS set the same as it was on my K5plus(67.0Hz) for both receiving and transmitting. I've tried looking online and there isn't much to be found. Any help is appreciated.

Is there anyway to change my current uv21r type L to a M without buying a new one, they seem like identical radios ,i just want to pick up airband

To program BF-1909, I had to use a test module. https://chirpmyradio.com/issues/9760

In chirp > help > load module from issue > 9760 > ok

then you can select BF-1909 in the list, BF-1901 and BF-1904 did not work for me.

Hope this helps anyone looking for this information.

Hello!

I am new to radios. I have a Baofeng radio. And I would like to connect it to Midland radio. Let's say that I use channel 2-10. How can I setup baofeng to seamlessly integrate with this radio ?

Thank you

Hey, my BF-888S constantly makes this white noise sound like the moni button is persistently held down but its being transmitted to others (it only happens on channel 5) and i tried to get a clearer sound by walking around but its only picked up in certain areas of the building and not at all outside. It seems to get more crackly the closer i get to a certain area so its probably down to something affecting radio stuff but id like to know what it could be or what you all think, if anything. thanks.

I've never used a radio and I'm a full on noob. What resources or sites can I use to learn everything after pulling the radio out of the box to getting up and running? I'm sure this has been asked before so I appreciate your help.

Just picked up a new 1701 HT and see the firmware is V002.006. Is this an older version than what I'm seeing posted with the CPS. CPS 1.05 says its written for V02.03. Which is the (newer) version?

My 1.05 CPS does not seem to want to connect with the radio so I'm not sure if its the radio firmware or the driver Windows installed. I know my Anytone CPS must be matched with a specific firmware to function so wonder if thats the same in this case.

I'm new to this and I just got a new baofeng UV-5R from a reseller called mirkit in Europe. Every time I try to select a frequency in VFO mode outside of the ranges mentioned above the radio says "cancel" and doesn't let me do that. I tried resetting it to factory settings and changing settings in the menu but to no avail. Can anyone help?

Anyone have any virus issues with their download? I have CHIRP but you can’t add channel names for the air bands so I downloaded the Baofeng software for my AR-25 but my McAfee flagged it as having a virus. It places them in quarantine should I be worried? I downloaded from the Baofeng site and Radioddity site.

When i upload my current config to CHIRP after following all the instructions and selecting the correct radio, I don't see the Tuning Step column. If I import for example the EU LDP and PMR Channels csv, I can see the Tuning Step column, but not on my radio. Could this be due to the fact I am not currently running it unlocked? I have tested unlocking it and it works, but then I reset it.

Hi! I just bought my first radio a Baofeng UV-5R I am watching a bunch of videos on how to program my Baofeng and I noticed that everyone has a little s at the top of their radio screen and mine has a H. When i mess with the power level it changes from H,M,L. But, how come everyone else in the tutorial vids on utube have a S?

video example photo. my radio displays the H more to the left where the S is on the example photo

Hi all

As I’m looking at something like this, does anyone here have concrete measurements/weight on this thing? I could only find measurements including antenna and 1 place listed a weight of 800 grammes wich I think might be wildly excessive?

Thank you!

Bonjour,

J'aimerais m'acheter un Baofeng pour aller en montagnes. Quelqu'un pourrait me conseiller une bonne radio? Je suis 100% néophyte.

Merci.

Hi, I have a UV-5R. On repeaterbook it tells me this frequency is DMR. Could I be able to listen or talk on that frequency?

I haven’t programmed this repeater in yet, just did it through the menu to see if I could hit it.

I do get the Morse identifier and the hang time signal back from the repeater. So I know I’m successfully hitting it.

But: after I unclick it continues to transmit for about 5 or 6 seconds? Then I get the hang time sound back from the repeater and it shows RX.

Hi all,

Having a weird problem. I have a set of Baofeng UV-5Rs. We're experiencing a problem where if they're

• on the same frequency
• on the same TSQL
• on the same mode: FM
• Power mode: High

In this scenario are 3 device:

2 are standing next to or near each other

1 is somewhere else, but well within range.

The 1 who is somewhere else transmits a message. Only 1 of the 2 radios receives the message.

What could cause this?

Me and a few friends are going camping some time this winter and we are looking to pick up some radios to take along. GMRS seems like the way to go since the license isn't very pricy or particularly difficult to obtain.

I was just wondering if the UV5Gs would be a decent option. The price seems good and the variety of attachments and whatnot is nice. What do yall think?

I dont see the optio.

I just want to know if there is any possible way that i can get chirp-next to work on my chromebook so i can program my uv25. It has been a hair-pulling experience trying so far.

I thought I was buying an UV-25 but instead got a AR-25R. Can anyone tell me what the difference is and is it worth sending it back to get the UV-25? The user manual says UV25 series

I bought a IV-5r as a cheap way to use a scanner. I put in the fire/EMS main frequency. Now I have a physical scanner on my desk, which is set to said frequency. I accidentally pushed the key up button on the radio and heard the key up noise on the scanner. Am I going to be expecting pd at my front door?

I bought it last year and it's almost exclusively been sitting in my car. I tried to charge it the other day and it would hold a charge. I've been using the USBC port and have not tried the cradle yet. Has anyone else had this issue? I don't mind buying another battery, but If I can get this one back up I'd like to do that. IIs there any way to reboot my battery? Thanks

Just purchased the BAOFENG UV-25 10W NEW Upgrade Version for USD $32 with coupon

Including shipping and taxes

New to this. Advertised as AM but does it actually have AM capabilities or is this just false advertisement?

I live near an airport and wouldn't mind listening in every now and then.... Will these work on VHF AM band 118-137 or am I better off getting something else?

Heard good things about Baofengs, which models would provide a reasonable cost/performance point for use communicating on a ranch in a hilly and forested area, up to about 3 miles max distance?

Mine has the incredibly annoying habit of changing primary bands if something breaks squelch. BTECH can't understand why that's no bueno.

Anyone know if UV-50X2 does the same thing? I love being able to monitor 4 memories, but the hopping around for random noises is getting to be too much.

And, no, I do NOT want to disable TMR.

Hi all!

By chance does anyone know if one channel has priority over the other when in Dual Watch mode?

I am using B channel with my coworker for parking trailers, and A channel to talk to the boss. Occasionally A channel calls come in while we are parking a trailer, and it would be great if I could tell the radio to ignore channel A while receiving on B. Seems like a feature that wouldn’t be that hard to implement. Does anyone know if this exists? Does Baofeng have a place to request features?

If not does anyone know of a dual VFO radio that has a similar feature?

Thanks!
