An idiots guide to programming your Baofeng radio

I don't need no steenkin programming cable Being a low budget ham radio operator, I find the Baofeng radios extremely appealing. They are low cost dual band handheld radios that have all the features I want and need without taking out a small loan from the bank. I received my first Baofeng UV-5R for some of the sales that I have made over the past few months in working order, and was able to quickly program the local repeater into it and test it out. Are you trying to use your Baofeng UV5R as a Police Scanner? Find great deals on Police scanners at Scannermaster and SAVE! Baofeng Comparison chart. Programming the baofeng: USB cable or keypad entry I don't quite understand what the problem is with programming them by the keypad, although others have reported having problems doing this. I watched one video on YouTube and was able to go from that point with NO problems. There are a few steps that do not seem logical, like having to program in the transmit AND re

Baofeng UV-5R cb radio

A Baofeng CB radio Possible baofeng cb in the future ? C'mon people, really ??? The Baofeng UV5r radios are a great bargain at a low low price that is affordable for most radio operators. But let's get one thing straight, the Baofeng UV-5R is NOT a CB radio. Baofeng UV-5R Comparison Chart. The Baofeng line of radios are VHF/UHF radios working in the 100 to 500 MHZ range. The most popular use of these radios is Ham radio (2M and 440) and public service. Yes, they WILL work in other services, but the legality of them is a grey area at best. Services in VHF Services in UHF Citizens Band (CB) radio is a public band that uses the frequency range 26.965 to 27.405 in the HF (High Frequency) spectrum. Yes they do make CB radios that will operate outside this frequency range, but again these are illegal and if caught operating by the F.C.C you will be fined.

A Galaxy DX11B nightmare

MY trip around the Galaxy DX11b Been working on a Galaxy DX11B 10M export radio this week and trying to undo all the modifications that have been done to it. I mainly want to use it as a dedicated 10M radio for when the band opens up. The problem is that i have not yet found the right combination to make it cover only the 10M band (28.000 - 29.7000 MHZ). Galaxy radios at Amazon The Galaxy DX11B 10M export radio was sold back in the early nineties and exported into the US as a 10M ham radio. With the popularity of CB it was real easy to take this radio and modify it for illegal CB use. When the modifications were done you had coverage from 25.615 MHZ up into the 10M ham band at 28.315. It also puts out more power than a regular 5W CB at 30W. This made for a very powerful radio back then. The problem with this is the F.C.C type acceptance . All CB radio's in the US have to comply to strict standards of power output and filtering to avoid interference. As soon as they
