Baofeng Baofeng UV21 Transmit Disable?

[tglendye]

I have a few Baofeng radios and just bought the UV21. Can someone help me with disabling the transmit on specific channels I have programmed?

I have found a selection to disable transmit for the whole band (uhf, vhf or both), however I’m looking to disable transmit on specific frequencies.

At this time, I have it set to transmit to 222.000 MHz for those channels, incase I push the transmit button but I don’t like the fact it gives the appearance of being able to transmit on unauthorized channels.

There are options to do this in my other baofengs (such as disable transmit on 220 band). But I can’t find it on this radio. I may disable uhf and vhf transmit if I can’t find anything else and use it as a scanner.

The radio has pretty awesome audio. My only other complaint is the transmit button is a way too easy to bump.

What software are you using to program it?
What options are listed for the offset and transmit frequency for memory channels?

I used both Chirp and Baofeng’s. As for the options, there is an “off” option under the offset duplex. That seemed to do the trick. Thanks.

Yep. In CHIRP setting duplex to off disables transmit and blank (no setting) is simplex.

Terrific👍. I didn’t understand that. I appreciate your help.
