How To Program the Baofeng UV-5R From the Keypad | Radio 101

Stupid question, but how do you recall/search a channel on the UV-5R? Once Programmed manually, can you SCAN the channels, if so how?

I have 2 two-prong cables for the Baofeng UV-5R (V2+) variant. The cables are brand new and pushed in all the way. I cannot get my radio to respond to CHIRP. I have tried different USB ports, different cables. Nothing works. Are there any other steps I can try to get this to work?

I programmed mine for po!ice, fire ect.....the green light up like someone talks, but I hear no one talking. Please help!!!!

But how do you program for a repeater? Send on one Chanel and receive on the other?

Came here for "101" lessons; I like that your videos are SHORT. However, this went waaaay over my head....rambling off terms and features I know nothing about.

excelent!!! video tks a lot 73!! from san luis potosi mexico in process for adquire my letters and numbers to become a radio amateur licensed!!! once again tks a lot

cool content Buy Two Way Radios. I shattered the thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the fantastic work.

how do you program Baofeng UV-5R to the 888s model? Thanks

YOU GO TOO FAST. YOU WASTE MY TIME.

Hi how do I find out what my DCS IS ,Is it the same # as he says in the video or is it different for different places - [cities ]

Got to tell you: your class is WAY TOO FAST for anyone who, obviously, doesn't know anything of what you assume to be as understandable and easy to grasp as catching a fly with chop-sticks...

The "manual" talks to the knowing. WTH is DCS, etc....

Thanks Rick! Very concise and informative.

Baofeng programing by way of keypad is is cruel and unusual punishment. Using CHIRP software if you are using Mac is mission impossible. In short spend the money and purchase a real radio.

"Class dismissed".
Thank you!

Did not show how to delete channels.

I noticed the step to add "transmitting memory" is missing. Was that on purpose?

Damn, slow down.

This guy had no idea how to explain something at a speed a new user can understand. I paused, rewound and watched so many times and still cant get radio programmed. Im about to just post them for sale. Ive had them 5yrs and never have used them because of programming.

Dear Rick, I just recently purchased 8W Baofeng UV-5R, and have been programming BF-888S Frequencies (16 Channels) onto it using the steps on this video. But so far, only channels 2, 3, 10, 11, 14, and 15 are working. The other 10 channels, i am only receiving messages but cannot transmit. Do you have a solution to this issue? Please help.

I have accidentally pressed the reset all button and it deleted every Chanel what should I do?

Thanks Rick, I did what you suggested but still cannot talk on the local repeater, they don't hear me. I have already put the pl tones and still doesn't work. Some have said I need to set the off set, don't know what to do with that.

I recently got a Beofang UV-5R, and I'm new to the radio hobbie. At my job all of my supervisors use a type of radio without any screen on it, they're all on channel 1. I was wondering if there was a way to use my Beofang (Not to transmit!) But to be able to listen to what they're saying so I can get the inside scoop on what's going on.

It not on my baofreg uv5rw8

dose this work with mac apple?

Looking at getting into this. Very very new, so I’m wondering if this is how to use these as a two way. I’m wanting to use this to talk to someone down the road, and just wondering if this is a good mix between that and monitoring emergency services as well. Be gentle, like I said I’m just doing some research

Very well done thanks

Thanks

Thanks for the video!! I have bought 4 UV-5R handhelds to use on our farm on our own assigned frequency. I have set them up like you have shown in your video, but, only one will Transmit when I push the talk button. All 4 can hear the other person’s transmissions but 3 of them make a high pitched beeping noise when you push the talk button. Can that be fixed, or are they useless?

Do you have to have a ham radio license to operate on this radio?

Malayalam language

Just got my radio and I’m clueless about them. I have gotten channels programmed to listen to certain ones but I’m confused on certain things like How do I know what frequency I need to set to and what to set T-DCS to and other settings.
I plan on getting another one very soon for emergency purposes only because I don’t have a license.
I have enough going on right now and the last thing I need is to get busted for not having a ham license 😂. As stupid as our gov is they would give me 10 years and let a pedi walk free 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Pretty strate forward I thought😮

Wrong at one point. You cannot save a frequency to a memory channel if that channel is already occupied. Either delete the data in that channel or choose an entry one.

I purchased two of these radios.
On one of them, the speaker volume is very low even when turned all the way up.
Is this a common issue?
Is it fixable?
Or should I throw it away and get a new one?

Why can't I get 148.540 to work in my radio🥺

And I’m still confused

Can I program It for 6M bend ?

In frequency mode:

To Deleted(clear) channel 1:
Menu, 28, menu, 1, menu, exit

Now punch in the frequency numbers of channel 1. *Google search for "walkie talkie frequency" listing.

To program channel 1:
Menu, 27, menu, 1, menu, exit

Repeat these steps for every channel.

Can you tell me if the Baofeng UV-5R+Pro is or can be used as a GMRS radio? I got my GMRS license a few months ago and received a UV-5R+Pro for Christmas but can't get it to communicate with my friends GMRS radios.

Can you do a video on programming a baofeng UV-G plus..or do you have one already

This helped a lot… considering the fact that you didn’t explain anything useful tbh….🤦🏽‍♂️

not all that helpful. How to enter frequency mode? What is TDR? You seem to be assuming newbie users have a clue as to what you are trying to tell us.

Thank you for your help

All these videos are the same.
“Oh it’s so simple!”
And then press this that switch to here there now you’ve done it!
Useless…..

This isn’t working
