baofeng

The battery latch on my AT-D868UVE has finally given up after eight years. While I know it's not an AnyTone, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a Baofeng DM32UV. Looking around Amazon, it's really hard to tell the difference between the $50+ DMs up to the $100 DMs, because it looks like...

So I came across a .enc file, that when uploaded to the radio, changed the voice for the channel annunciation. Unfortunately, having all my channels just say "Tactical # (channel number)" isn't working for me. Does anyone know of a tool I can use to put .wav files into a .enc file to make that...

Hi, I have a Baofeng DM32UV, I have a couple encryption keys loaded in it, encrypting voice that i transmit from the baofeng works fine, and I can decrypt it on my Motorola DP4801 (XPR7550) however, voice that is encrypted by Motorola, either AES256 or RC4 is not decoded on the baofeng, I just...

Has anyone else noticed the wildly inaccurate GPS speeds indicated when walking with a Baofeng F8HP-PRO?

Received today from AliExp with 2500mAh under $32 shipped, flashed f4hwn v4.3.2. Surprised how well it does on 40-50MHz with CHP + other analog goodies still active in my area. Airband working fine as well. Super fast scan speed that actully works great. Very compact and feels solid not some...

Hi All. New member to the forums, which is really interesting BTW, and have been stupid. So this is a warning tale and a request for help. I'm a long time UK Ham and even longer SWL. I bought a DM32 on Temu or something [strike 1] and set it up for DMR, it kinda performed but not great. I tried...

Hello, good evening. I'm looking for a firmware to unlock (to TX) the 480 to 520 MHz band for my Baofeng "UV-5RH" radio, which looks exactly like the attached photo. I'd like to know if this can be done, and if so, with a different firmware. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

I just got my DM-32 and was setting up the 2tone and there are three options for decode alerts and I'm hoping for some insight on what each one does

So, I've recently gotten the BTECH UV-PRO (the same thing as the VGC VR-N76), and whenever I try to send APRS messages via the app or the radio itself, Direwolf seems to display the text perfectly fine, but the text "(NOT AX.25)" appears before the message, and hex numbers appear before the...

Hello, good evening. Does anyone know how to unlock the 480-512mhz frequencies on the Baofeng UV-5RH?

Hello. I have a Yaesu FT-70DR (firmware ver. 1.11) Handheld Transceiver and I want to communicate in the 70cm band with a Baofeng GT-3 Mark II and a Baofeng BF-888S, I used the ADMS-10 Ver. 1.0.1.0 to input the respective frequencies, I compared the files of the Baofengs radios in CHIRP with the...

Because of this thread I decided to gather some information. Here's what I have so far: There is a tamper switch. the opposite side local circuitry below Note: the display was removed. the slit at the bottom of the image is one of four places the metal shield tabs were bent to hold and...

Is it possible to set this radio to .5 watts output for license free tier 1 use? Or is it not advanced enough? I see it claims 1/2/5 watts in the specs but could a software setting set it lower somehow? Wanted to get into dmr with some co workers and these seem like a decent step into them.

This is gonna be a multi parter and will likely not be in any certain order, so bear with me lol. I programmed a bunch of random stuff into my baofeng uv5rm a few weeks ago. Say what you want about them, I pick up a ton of traffic with just 100 channels programmed in and set to scan them as I'm...

Purchased a Baofeng-UV16M V2 and successfully programmed then uploaded a custom start-up image. Used CHIRP with the Baofeng UV-17Pro setting to communicate with the radio. Created a BMP start-up image with 160 horizontal x 128 vertical dimensions. Downloaded the Baofeng BF17L/M CPS [T6UV...

I just spent the big bucks and got a UV17R-Plus. Trying to program some aircraft frequencies into it using Chirp (first experience). Chirp does not have the UV17R-Plus as a programmable model, only the Pro version. It will not allow me to to enter air band frequencies. Any input on how to...

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...
