Baofeng UV-5r Repeater Programming [UNDER 5 MINS]

In this video I talk about programming repeaters into your Baofeng UV-5r. No technical knowledge required. Simply plugin 3 settings and you're good to go. This tutorial assumes very little knowledge of the radio. Below you will find time stamps to critical parts of the tutorial.
0:51 - Language
1:20 - The 3 settings you need to program any repeater
1:50 - Programming the frequency
2:43 - Programming repeater offset
3:45 - Programming the tone
4:20 - Assigning frequencies to a channel

    I am 82 years old and made up my mind I was going to check some things off my bucket list before I pass. One was getting a Ham license and learning to program and use my own radio. That is where you come in. I had simplex down pat last night but I must have looked at 10 videos on how to program a Baofeng radio for Repeaters. You did just what you promised. Taught me how to program my first repeater in about 5 minutes. The St. Lous Park Minnesota site I am programming has two frequencies. I assume I do the second one on the B or bottom part of the Channel. At least I have the top one done. I think that is the transmit area. This was three years ago so I doubt you monitor these comments any longer but if you do Thanks. I have no idea how people can make something so easy so complex. Anyway, thanks again. 2/8/2024.

    I bought a used UV9R Plus that already had repeater frequencies programed in memory. Recently one of those repeaters added a PL tone. Can and how do I add this tone to the already programed repeater frequency or must I delete the frequency and reprogram it back in? Also, do I input the tone on R CTCS as well as T CTCS?

    Quick question: I have two (2) Baofeng UV-5Rs. I have them set and programed identically the same in the menu. I also have them on the same frequency. When I transmit from Baofeng radio # 1 to Baofeng radio # 2 it works fine however when I try to transmit from Baofeng radio # 2 to Baofeng radio # 1, the Baofeng radio # 1 will not pick up the transmission from the other Baofeng radio #2. SO I cannot hear any signal/transmission from Baofeng radio # 1. Do you think there is something wrong with Baofeng radio # 1?

    I believe if there's no offset value shown, then you don't need one. And if you do need one, you'll have to contact the repeater owner for permission.

    To span a distance of that magnitude would require much more power and much larger antennas. It's really asking too much out of such a device
