baofeng

I'm using the CPS software to program my Baofeng DM-1701 DMR radio. Can someone tell me what the "Digital RX Group Call" feature in the settings does. Is it necessary for it to be programmed in the DMR code plug to hear the stations on the channel?

It seems that the DR-1909 started circulating on the web. Allegedly it supports DMR Tier 2 in UHF rather than FM. Has anyone more details on this radio, its compatibility with MotoTRBO, the cable that works and software programming? Does it support dual FM and DMR operation?

I received my BF-F8HP the other day and have tried to enter my county’s(Duplin) VIPER frequencies into it. I want to listen to emergency services communicating with each other but have only been able to connect it to the EMS dispatch. Even the fire and SO dispatch would be good. I’ve tried...

I'm stumped on this one. I have 3 sets of Baofeng UV-82HP radios. They are programmed and work just fine with each other. I am now trying to program my 888s so they can communicate on ch1-16 with the UV-82HPs. Chirp does not recognize the 888s but I can program the 888s with the Baofeng 1.08...

The title may seem kind of weird but this is a genuine question I wanted to know if a standard UV-5R Baofeng Antenna could work on an XTS 5000 This Motorola Radio I am getting supports 700/800 MHZ and the bottom of the antenna says "FM/136-174/400-520 MHZ." I am not looking for any responses...

I’m a new user to amateur radio and this is my first device ever. I have a Baofeng UV-21R and I can’t program it at all. I just want to scan the emergency stations nearby to know what’s going on with all the sirens sometimes. I have no intention of talking, just listening. However I can’t hear...

Hello and thanks in advance for reading a newbies post. I am new to this so please be gentle lol. I bought a Baofeng BF-5RH handheld off Temu and have a question about using it to communicate with a friends Motorola T7450 on GMRS-1 462.5625 MHz. 1) I set my Baofeng to 462.5625 MHz. 2) When...

I’m looking to know which adapter is compatible to fit into the antenna socket of the TID H8 2nd gen handheld. I don’t have much clarity on whether it’s standard or not and the manufacturer wasn’t helpful when I asked them. Does anyone have experience connecting it to a Yagi antenna? I just...

Hi all, I am trying to receive local DMR transmissions on my Baofeng DR-1801. I am picking up strong, local transmissions on Anytone AT-D878UVII using a rubber ducky antenna , I record the colour codes and time slots as well as talkgroups from the Anytone's display and then program them in to...

Found this picture of Chinese PLA military using uv-5re model baofengs, credit goes to "Task & Purpose" news.

Recently got the new and improved GRMS 9R...in bright orange. Seems to be very waterproof and has some typical Baofeng quirks. Supposed to be the UV5R evolution? Annotated and edited the manual I scanned in. It was worse than the GM-15 Manual. Enjoy and comment...

GM15 Pro owners. This is my simplified and annotated version of the manual. The changlish, circular logic, errors of the original manual is crazy. Baofeng GM 15 PRO Manual Simplified V15_Compressed.pdf Its a dropbox link so skip the download app jazz Enjoy!

FYI..successful in programming BF GM 15 Pro with TIDRadio Wireless Bluetooth Programmer. Although it said that device software driver was in beta it worked like a charm. The app is okay, has some quirks but much much better than hand punching channels to monitor. I gave up desktop computers and...

I recently got a Btech 6x2 Pro since all the local companies went digital. I have always used this site to get the frequencies and all that. It shows DMR under the mode not P25 ( I know P25 uses different digital signals not compatible with regular digital radios) now I don’t know what the...

I’m a Ham General and have used high quality radios for years. I picked up a kit pair of TIDRADIO UV-5R radios - chargers, extended batteries, programming cable, etc., for $80. I bought them thinking to program for a few people I’m trying to entice into radios for RX-only use, then get them to a...

Alright so don't hate on me too much as I'm brand new into the radio world outside of what I was told to do in the army which as I'm coming to realize isn't much in the civi world. So here at home I have a handful of SDR dongles and I've been running DSD+ for DMR decoding for some frequencies...

I am trying to program 451.1625 (CC 8) onto my UV-5R. When I type in 451.162 I only hear static. Please Advise!

Hi all! I'm Kodiak85 a complete noob to the whole ham radio thing. I just got a cheap (although mighty ) Baofeng UV-5R off of amazon one thing I have discovered is that these can, in FACT, scan or as I like to say peek into police scanners and the like. I'm just using this for listening for now...

What are the frequencies I can use program in Boca Raton on my Baofeng UV-5R

Just got a new Baofeng rd 5r sdr handheld radio. Am having trouble programming it. Can anyone recommend software to aid in this? Don't care for chirp, and can't find any other compatable software. Any idea?
