In this video I show you how to find NOAA Weather and Emergency Frequencies, how to add those NOAA channels/frequencies into your UV-5R, and save them, and how to scan through them - all with no cable/no computer needed - right from the keypad. The NOAA frequencies and channels are not just for the weather! The federal and local government also use these emergency channels after major SHTF events such as hurricanes, tornadoes and even earthquakes. In a major SHFT event, the NOAA emergency channels can be essential.

Got my UV5R programed up and works great...with the larger battery it runs on scan for 3 full 24/7 days/night...all while on scan with all the freqs running.. I made a set up that will plug in to my Walker head set...I can sit in silence while hearing nature around me "and" listen to "ALL" the bands. Unlocked, you cannot beat it ...rock on

A variable frequency oscillator (VFO) in electronics is an oscillator whose frequency can be tuned (i.e., varied) over some range. It is a necessary component in any tunable radio transmitter or receiver that works by the superheterodyne principle, and controls the frequency to which the apparatus is tuned.

Sir, Thank you for your time, your videos, and most importantly your sense of humor. In your video which I so much enjoyed, you could not change the channel on the 0 and 127. Since I just got my radio and learning to use it, I thought I would try it. Yes, I was able to change the 0 to the NOAH Channel and the 127 to the 2nd NOAH channel... Just to let you know, it is possible to change them, however, you have to input a new channel in one of the slots for it to work. Great videos and great content... Keep it up.

Have you ever played with the TYT TH-UV88? At $35 I think it's in the running for "dollar for dollar" prize, but what's very nice is that it's the same radio as the Radioddity GM-30 GMRS radio. If you buy them both for about $75 total you get two radios, two batteries (one of which can be charged with USB-C), and a desktop charger that charges both. One battery needs a tiny mod to work in the other radio, but all in all a nice combo.

I love my UV-5R, I bought it as a replacement for my Yaesu VX-5R, and to be honest it's adequate for my purposes. I haven't looked back to getting a new battery for the Yaesu even though it has better frequency coverage (153KHz to 1GHz, no gaps, thanks to some awesome mods) and a better (non-stock) antenna.

Evening, NotaRubicon... Since I'm old now, and no longer follow directions very well, I'm hoping that once I can figure out how to program my new-still-in-the-box-on-my-dining-room-table UV5R - gen3 with the CHIRT software, these NOAA channels will be included? Sure hope so, anyway. Yeah, I went ahead and purchased a pair of these keen little transceivers along with the upgraded Nagoya antennas, the larger 3800 milliamp batteries, and the necessary to transfer data cable. It's exciting stuff, and this tutorial being the exception...I've so far enjoyed your channel very much. Thank you, and take care...

Anyway, I know this has to be the dumbest question but, How can I change the Start up message when turning on the Baofeng UV-5R+PLUS?
