Once upon a time, in a small village nestled deep within the mountains, there lived a group of curious and adventurous individuals. These villagers were known for their ingenuity and love for exploration. They had a secret they guarded closely-a mystical device that held the power to communicate across great distances. This magical device was called "BAOFENG," and it possessed the ability to connect people with its remarkable radio waves. However, there was a catch-pronouncing the name correctly was the key to unlocking its full potential. Legend had it that the name "BAOFENG" was derived from an ancient language spoken by the wise elders of a forgotten civilization. The pronunciation of this enigmatic word held the key to harnessing the true power of the device. Those who spoke its name correctly could wield its capabilities with utmost precision. Intrigued by this legend, a young villager named Kai embarked on a quest to uncover the correct pronunciation of "BAOFENG." Equipped with his boundless curiosity and a determined spirit, he sought out the village elders renowned for their wisdom. The elders, understanding the significance of the quest, revealed that the pronunciation of "BAOFENG" was a journey in itself. It required the perfect harmony of tones and syllables. They explained that "BAO" should be pronounced with a strong and emphatic "bah" sound, followed by a gentle transition to an "oh" sound, similar to the word "boat" but softer. As for "FENG," it was a delicate balance of a whispered "f" sound, similar to the word "fine," and a lingering "eng" sound, akin to the "ung" in "sung." It was essential to elongate the "eng" sound, as if serenading the breeze that rustled through the mountains. With this newfound knowledge, Kai diligently practiced the pronunciation, seeking perfection in each syllable. Day and night, he repeated the name, letting it resonate in the valley, bouncing off the rocky cliffs and soaring through the tall pines. After weeks of dedicated practice, Kai felt confident in his mastery of the pronunciation. Gathering the village, he stood atop the highest peak, clutching the mystical device in his hand. With a voice that rang clear and true, he spoke the name aloud: "BAO... FENG!" As the words echoed through the village, a remarkable transformation took place. The device sparked to life, emanating a soft, ethereal glow. The villagers gasped in awe as the radio waves surged forth, connecting them to distant lands and unseen worlds. From that day forward, the villagers cherished the correct pronunciation of "BAOFENG" as a reminder of the power of language, the strength of perseverance, and the significance of shared communication. And so, the legend of "BAOFENG" lived on, passed down through generations, a testament to the harmony that could be achieved by uttering the name with grace and reverence.

Brother, you’re absolutely hilarious. After getting a little more involved in the community I totally understand why you troll the community. What a bunch of dorks. Boot-licking dorks.

Tip from me: go to O'Reilly auto parts, pick up the Dorman metric o ring kit, take the 12mm ID x 17mm OD x 2.5mm W o ring from the bottom left compartment, roll it onto your power knob. Now your volume knob only moves when you want it to. As a bonus, if you have the baofeng bf-88st, take the o ring one higher in the kit (10mm ID x 14mm OD x 2mm W) and that works on the volume knob of that radio.

There are a few reasons why the Baofeng UV-5R has gained popularity: Affordability: The Baofeng UV-5R offers a low-cost option for individuals interested in getting started with amateur radio or needing a portable two-way radio for communication purposes. Compared to other handheld radios on the market, the Baofeng UV-5R provides a relatively inexpensive option. Dual Band Operation: The UV-5R supports dual-band operation, allowing users to transmit and receive on both the VHF (Very High Frequency) and UHF (Ultra High Frequency) bands. This flexibility enables communication on a wide range of frequencies, making it suitable for various applications, including amateur radio, emergency communication, outdoor activities, and more. Wide Frequency Range: The UV-5R offers a broad frequency range, covering a significant number of frequencies. It supports both analog FM and digital modes, allowing users to access various radio services and frequencies, including public safety, amateur radio bands, marine channels, and more. Programmability and Customization: The UV-5R is programmable, meaning users can manually program their desired frequencies or use software to program the radio. This feature allows for customization and easy access to frequently used channels, making it convenient for different communication needs. Features and Accessories: The Baofeng UV-5R comes with a range of features, including a built-in flashlight, dual-watch function, VOX (Voice-Activated Transmit), scanning capabilities, and more. Additionally, a wide variety of accessories are available for the UV-5R, such as extended batteries, external antennas, speaker microphones, and car chargers, further enhancing its versatility and usability. It's important to note that while the Baofeng UV-5R has gained popularity for its affordability and features, it's crucial to comply with local regulations and licensing requirements regarding radio operation to ensure legal and responsible use.

@TomRolfson

Жыл бұрын

You're telling people that it's legal when it is not. If you're going to give LEGAL ADVICE make sure it's accurate. I know it works, I only own about 8 Baofengs - but technically they are for broadcast use only on HAM frequencies and listening on GMRS "channels". No, the FCC is not going to come swooping down with a black helicopter and bust you. But to be legal as GMRS radios they are to be FCC Part 95 compliant. The dual-bands that you mention these radios certified for does NOT include GMRS Channel frequencies. And finally, if you're going to recommend these at least explain WHY you need to upgrade the antennas. Finally, setting them on a frequency and locking them is not telling them that frequency to be a legitimate GMRS channel has to be between 462.5625 - 462.7250 which only older UV-5Rs will be able to be set without jailbreaking the new ones to reach these frequencies. And what has putting an external antenna on them got to do with "acting the fool"? Did you tell people at some of the GMRS frequencies they're only allowed to transmit at .5 or 2W of power? The antenna is far from acting the fool, any smart user will replace the antenna immediately as the rubber duckies that come with the Baofengs are useless to talk more than very short distances and even less inside of a house or car. Aluminum siding on a house? It's practically a Faraday cage and your greatest distance might be from the 2nd floor to basement. Putting an antenna on your house or vehicle WILL give these radios a much greater range but in a city or uneven terrain, still not much more than the line of sight. You want to harness the power of GMRS you will need to use repeaters. Even farmers with any decent sized property put up their own repeaters because the radios are weak - they COULD reach if they used HAM bands but must still upgrade the antennas. One final point, the ease of which these can be properly programmed to GMRS channels vs "locked" to a frequency is something everyone should learn. You lock to a channel that someone else is using or a repeater channel, the people following your advice might find themselves completely incapable of getting through on the air and without knowing proper courtesy OR legalities of when to use Call Signs as required by law, they could name you as the guy who told them it was legal in a civil suit. Why not recommend they go to KZread and watch NotARubicon videos and stop trying to jamb a lot of misinformation into one short video? Hell, if you want to give people something useful. Let them know the FCC can enter any home in the U.S. without a warrant. Do the research, the law reads that they can enter any dwelling if they believe spurious emissions are coming from that home. Again, you're not going to have a black helicopter or Bearcat come roaring onto your front lawn, but there have been cases where people have been given notice and fined: www.wired.com/2009/05/fcc-raid/ I'm a HAM and GMRS licensed, I use GMRS a LOT. I teach many preppers how to PROPERLY use GMRS and explain that a Baofeng UV-5R is technically not legal, but nobody has been busted for it. No, your radio does not transmit what brand or model it is, however an experienced operator with the right training and equipment can tell when you're on a Baofeng, can measure what power you're transmitting, and very easily locate you. So also warn people what they talk about and know that if it's an emergency situation someone may use it nefariously to hear what supplies you have and locate where you are. Again, GMRS is very useful but it's NOT a replacement for HAM and not capable of what a HAM can do. Using them properly will get you a lot of support from the HAM community including which antennas are best, how to tune an antenna, how to setup a mast or repeater, tips and tricks of how to get the most distance from inside a house or condo where you can't mount an antenna. But again, watch Randy on NotARubicon KZread channel. He will explain the law of using a UV-5R (or perhaps I should say NOT using one if you want to stay legal and not give illegal advice on KZread), he will teach you how to program one, show you why you need multiple channels including to reach other people, emergency services or repeaters that can increase your distance from what might be a few blocks or a mile to 40-50 miles+. GMRS is all that many people need, but you are giving illegal and technical misinformation.

Then Pick up a TIDRadio Bluetooth programer $20, sometime half price $10. You can easily, load and save your local Repeaters on to your radios. Al 4 of mine are on my local repeater, I can talk with the family when hiking, or in an emergency I have communications in my entire Valley which is a BIG valley population well over a 300,000 I live in the foothills above Los Angeles. I jut did 2 video yesterday showing the results. When not on a repeater these are very powerful walkie talkies good for 1/2 mile in a city or 10 plus miles in a flat area like, the desert or so. You will hear peplle talking but they cant hear you.....why? well theyre using repeaters, repeaters have a key code that you need to program. TIDRadios programer takes care of all this.

Everyone knows the Rodger BEEP is the BEST .....owe get a GMRS licence $35 for 10 years, covers your whole unit or family. Google GMRS frequency list Pick a NON repeater channel.

Ahh hell, Let me make it easy for you: Here is a box of tissues and the C.F.R. § 95.1761 GMRS transmitter certification. (a) Each GMRS transmitter (a transmitter that operates or is intended to operate in the GMRS) must be certified in accordance with this subpart and part 2 of this chapter. (b) A grant of equipment certification for the GMRS will not be issued for any GMRS transmitter type that fails to comply with the applicable rules in this subpart. (c) No GMRS transmitter will be certified for use in the GMRS if it is equipped with a frequency capability not listed in § 95.1763, unless such transmitter is also certified for use in another radio service for which the frequency is authorized and for which certification is also required. No GMRS transmitter will be certified for use in the GMRS if it is equipped with the capabilities to operate in services that do not require equipment certification, such as the Amateur Radio Service. All frequency determining circuitry (including crystals) and programming controls in each GMRS transmitter must be internal to the transmitter and must not be accessible from the exterior of the transmitter operating panel or from the exterior of the transmitter enclosure.

FRS you mean....those are limited to 2 watts and operate on limited freq. These are unlocked, so you "can" talk everywhere, but I use them on GMRS freq and these are 8 watts. I can be a good mile on the beach, and still talk with the family. I have had a great experience at 10 thousand feet , in the snow, 5 valleys, 1.5 miles and elevation changes and I was still picking up my friend. These things saved our ass

THESE ARE NOT ILLEGAL FOR THE END USER TO USE ON A GMRS FREQUENCY AS LONG AS THEY HAVE A LICENSE. They are however not compliant to be sold as per FCC Rules by a manufacturer, to be in compliance these are sold LOCKED. Now if you wish to modify a radio you may, but whats illigal is IF your said radio causes a disruption, THESE WILL NOT cause they are DAM GOOD RADIOS. Yes is very hard to filter the good information from the bad. The FCC has also not fined or ticketed someone for a radio MODIFICATION in the last 50 plus years. They have if you go to their site have 2 listed fines issued, which were really request. SAD HAM.....Guys have fun, and save money get these
