You can use your Baofeng UV-5R, BF-F8HP and other similar Baofeng ham radios and GMRS radios to listen to other brand walkie-talkies that transmit on ham, FRS, GMRS and MURS - This video shows you step-by-step how to look up the frequencies needed to talk to these other brand radios.
I also clarify the regulations and FCC guidelines surrounding using the UV5R to talk or transmit on the GMRS, FRS and MURS frequencies.

Heck yeah... that UV5r is easy to throw in a bag with an extra battery and a snubby ABREE or Diamond antenna..... and a Nagoya for the big distances.... and still spend less than $50... They are handy little radios. Plus you can listen to music on the FM radio and it will interrupt if the channel you're monitoring becomes active.

@@MrTux62 the other thing that's super helpful is they're capable of picking up the National Weather service automated stations anywhere in the US. I take my Baefeng with me anytime I go backpacking or scuba diving because you generally don't have cellphone signal and I can get updates on if severe weather is coming.

@frisk151 Жыл бұрын

This is just an opinion: "NOT legal advice".... People, BUY the BF 5R, and whatever HAM band transceivers you like.. Do a LITTLE bit of research (Radio Reference (website)) to see what frequencies are being used in your area / the area you are wanting to communicate in, and don't use any of the known / used freqs. There is a HUGE amount of unused feqs in the HAM band! NOBODY is going to mess with any of you... Do you see a single question @ Amazon checkout which requires you to input your HAM lic/cert info?? Yes, and NO... Nobody will know you are on the band unless you call the FCC and turn yourself in.. AND, it IS doubtful they would even send someone to monitor it even IF you gave them the dates, time and maybe even the address you were transmitting from. HAM has its uses, especially in real emergencies... However, there aren't just 40 channels like in a CB unit, or the walkie talkies that are popular.. You're welcome to GTS it if you doubt what I am saying. With all of the digital communications (online and off) today, HAM is mostly dying. ALL you need to do is to tune into the web streams of countless HAM repeaters / ham clubs to realize this. Sometimes, there isn't even a reply to the callouts. I will NEVER sell my handhelds, but if the "apocalypse" were to hit, and we lost power and sunlight (for solar battery backups) the true LONG range HAM stations will be DOWN soon thereafter. The "elitists" are part of the problem with HAM.. Yes, they dumbed it down so you don't have to do morse code fany longer to get your 'transmission permit'.. HOWEVER, I was listening in on the net when Hurricane Ian hit, and I was truly DISGUSTED at the old timers talking crap to people who were trying to ID, were scared and missing (breaking up) the info, and getting ADMONISHED for the way they were transmitting / communicating. For any of you "old timers" who may read this. Get current with the barriers to entry. Otherwise, you will simply be a nice (and legit) page in the history books. Massive amounts of GEO and LEO Satellites are rendering HAM useless, especially for SARS.

I have had a Baofeng UV-82III for about six months and entered frequencies manually for that time after watching this video. Received a programming cable two days ago and installed Chirp on a PC. At this point I can say that manually programming will be a last resort after experiencing Chirp. The ease of programming and the features you have with Chirp that are not available via manual programming make it a no brainer.

I would really appreciate it if you could send me that sad ham logo. I want to make a fridge magnet with it. LoL

PS I also plan on setting up some portable simplex repeaters. I’m setting up those to be very portable . I’m not using a 12volt battery to power them just using the AA or AAA batteries that the simplex repeater is set up for. That way all I have to do is deploy the repeater in areas that we are and need them.

Works just like you said!!! Thanks a lot for this information. I have been trying to figure this out for over a year now! Love the comedy by the way. I used to do stand up back in the 80's in Los Angeles so if I say you have some funny material, you can believe it's good stuff.

I set the memory channels on my baofeng to match my FRS & GMRS channel numbers. This works really well.

I did the same with both of my Baofeng radios.

Hey driving 80 in a 75 mph speed zone is illegal also but we all do it 😂.

Not if you tell the officer that you aren't driving you are traveling. Then in that case you can drive 140 in a 40 lol

I enjoy your videos, they're very informative and fun to watch. Question though.......It appears the GMRS frequencies have 7 digits, but the UV 5R appears to only accept 6. It looks like you dropped off the zero in the video for GMRS Channel 16 when entering. If I were to want to "listen" to a different channel on a UV5R, would I drop the last numeric value on that one as well to get to a length of 6 numbers? Thanks

This actually isn't a problem at all. In the case mentioned, the trailing zero doesn't actually do anything, 462.5750 is the same as 462.575, just like 1 1/2 can be written 1.5 or 1.50. For other channels, say Channel 8 which is 467.5625, if you type in 467.562 into you UV-5R you'll see a little tiny 5 show up after the frequency. that's because in this frequency band the radio is programmed to go in steps of 2.5k(560, 5625, 565, 5675, 570). This is fairly standard to keep interference between channels to a minimum.

Thanks for that -- that was the exact question I came here to answer. I have the gmrs channels programmed on my BF radios through CHIRP, where you can enter the 500 Hz digit, but I wasn't sure how to get there from the keypad. Makes sense, if you have it set to step by 2.5Hz, there wouldn't be a xxx.xx20 MHz frequency on the band.

Funny thing is, I saw the small font "5" and it looked like an "S" and I was trying to figure out why they had an S there, haha.

Still not seeing the "zoo" type comments here. I'd like to see you do some Jeep mod videos with the same attitude. I'm still looking for a good TJ to wheel and could use some no-bullshit advice on building it up.

Hi Sir. I have a humble Boofeng UV-5R 8W on order and - due to your wildly enthusiastic engaging and humorous reviews- my excitement to receive this radio is off my scales!!! I am no ham - I am what you you would call a receiver enthusiast and I have various receiving radios large and small. The Boofeng would be my first TRANSceiver. I really did buy this for the purple screen light. I just gotta have me that!!! These are the receivers that own and love:: Tecsun PL 880 Tecsun PL 990 Tecsun PL 380 Tecsun S 2000 - (the Eton Clone that you reviewed ) Alinco DX R8E AOR DV 1 Standard (Yaesu) VR 160 Icom IC R 6 Thanks again for the beautiful reviews. I am in Cyprus and I have ordered my Boofeng from France (of all places) George
