Baofeng Imma newbie can I pick your mind for a min? 😅

[ScStateSecured]

Hey tribe I’m In my first 7 months into amateur radio WSGZ372. & I just got my license..

What really turned me on to the whole community and culture. Well is the fact that one day cell phones Internet and every method of communication that modern day people use will be rendered useless at some point in time I believe that However, amateur ham radio will not as long as the human heart is beating and there’s a battery powered we will have communication. SOO

I’ve done a lot of research and I dedicate 2 to 3 hours every day just to focus on amateur radio.

My question is, how would I program an NAC Tone into a Baofeng 5RM MANUALLY?

[cmjonesinc]

You don't. NAC's on used on P25 which isn't something any baofeng made is capable of.

 

[EAFrizzle]

Correct. Analog FM +AM rx in airband only. Good rx on CSQ, they can get squirrelly sometimes with tones.

 

[EAFrizzle]

Okay, from reading a few others posts, you want to know how to program a repeater tone. Press the green menu key, enter or scroll to #10. That is CTCSS recieve tone. 11 is DCS recieve code. 12 & 13 are for CTCSS and DCS transmit respectively.

Go to section 6.3 in the manual although it is listed wrong in the index

OK, I may be. I may be slow slower than I thought when radio reference references input, would that be the frequency that I receive on or is that be the frequency that I transmit on

Cause I’m manually having the program my 5RM so in order to program the two frequencies together, I have to start with one frequency which one do I wanna start with ? the input or the output frequency ? which one do I receive on the input or output cause then when I go back to program the other frequency, that would be the one that I transmit on

 

[EAFrizzle]

You program in the repeater output into your receive channel. Transmit frequency is determined by offset, also in the menu functions.

Are you programming for ham radio or GMRS? What you posted is a GMRS callsign not ham.

I might suggest a few things
Read the manual from cover to cover and then read it again. Mark areas you don’t understand.
If possible program through a computer using the CHIPS program.
Contact someone locally who has used radios on gmrs and let them help you. It is always better to talk this thing out with someone who has experience and could help with the areas you marked as not understanding.
Don’t give up..you will learn it eventually..as they say it is not rocket science😉🙂
Good luck!

Do you mean CHIRP? I'm not familiar with anything called CHIPS programming.

Wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Loved CHIPS!!!

 

[doc62]

Greg, I only see you having a GMRS license in ULS. You’re not confusing that with an amateur radio license are you?

 

[janeksp6]

CHIRP później adapter USB do BAOFENG 5VR

 

[janeksp6]

Wprowadziłem CHIRP ale system nie widzi pliku Przepraszam

 

[janeksp6]

SCStateSecure Bawiłem się w ręczne ustawienia ale zrezygnowałem Kupiłem adapter USB Baofeng 5VR i CHIRP atomatycznie wprowadził etc

You didn't get an amateur radio license. You got a GMRS license. GMRS isn't amateur radio.

 

[a727469]

I noticed that also and above I suggested he find someone locally who is in a local gmrs group if there is such a thing. Maybe he is just confusing terms🥴.

May I suggest the OP look into a real amateur license if he really wants to continue learning in this hobby. While not needed it does help increase one’s basic radio/electronics knowledge without a whole lot of work for the Tech license.

 

[KevinC]

It appears he only has a GMRS license. I can't believe all you guys missed it.
