I just recently got my first radio (a Baofeng UV-5RE) and have been falling into issue after issue, however, most the time I find the solution. This time I can not find it and was hoping that this forum could either help or provide some helpful insight into the issue.
The issue I am talking about is that when manually typing in a frequency at the last digit I cannot add any number except 0 which is rather irritating when a certain frequency very last digit is 1-9. Another issue I came across is that I get no active frequencies except for only getting 2 (NOAA and a Amature radio club) this was with a scan on VHF. Does it depend on the location because I was hoping to use this for a cheap Scanner for my local Sheriff office.
