I bought four (4) Baofeng GS11S all programming works fine, except. How do I program it to receive the VHF and UHF bands that it is advertised to do. Thanks.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I'm trying to figure this out also.

From what I see, it is not an amateur radio. It is channelized to satisfy the FCC certification it holds. The VHF portion allows NOAA in the 162.xx MHz area.
It is sold as a GMRS radio. According to the Baofeng website it transmits on GMRS and receives VHF weather, I didn't see any where on the site that it said it did UHF/VHF other than that.
G11S 3W GMRS Radio
G11S is an ideal choice for entry-level leisure users. Contains all the main basic features , such as NOAA scanning and receiving, DIY repeater channels, and so on. Move on and see what extra function you win on G11S! *Do you need a license to operate? YES. G11S is FCC Part95E certificated, FCC...

Yeah I think you folks are correct - the band 136.0-174.0 is included in the specs just so it can receive NOAA in the 162.xx range. Oh well. Thought I was going to discover a nice easter egg!
