Hello I am new to this and I was searching through the forums and im not sure I could really find a forum that really was helping me. I was wondering if anyone else has the Boafeng UV-5RE plus that might be able to help me out with some programming (or any one that might now any part of my questions) I thank you in advance to your help and apperciate all the help.
I am A firefighter in Waukesha County (Waukesha and Vernon) and I got the radio because one of the guys I use to work with had one and he used it for scanning and it worked for him. I mainly got as a scanner but may use it in other ways in the future (not completly sure yet how haha) but I mainly want to put in fire channels and the sherrif channel that works in our jurisdiction just to here whats happening in the area.
1st. on the UV-5RE Plus I want to make sure I turned off the transmission abilty. I went to the setting and pretty sure I uncheck transmission function and turned it off but I wasnt to make sure if there is a way to test or turn it off for sure. or do i turn it off for the channels i dont want to transmit on.
2nd. I was able to get the dispatch channel and paging channel on the radio but on this page of the sight it list other fire communication channels and I would like to put those on also (again for listening purposes because if i were to transmit on these channels I would use a dept radio)
Waukesha County Public Safety Trunking System, Countywide, Wisconsin - Scanner Frequencies
this is the link to the page on this site that has the channels i want to input (not all of them a select few)
but I was able to input the dispatch channel because it had a actual frequency listed and it was easy to input that. but on this page it list a decmial format and hex format. is there a way to input these into this radio because the dispatch channel had a frequency like 154.4300.
If you guys plan please help me out that would be great or if there is already a thread on here that talks about this if you can point me that way like I wasnt able to find one unless I was looking in the wrong section
