Lol, glad to teach you something new!

Fire, wheel and UV5R. Those are most important milestones in human history.

Dude, I'm delighted that you made this content available, it is very helpful, but you FLY through things, and if you're trying to follow along, it's very difficult to do what you say. By the time we've done it, you're already two steps ahead. If you find it convenient to do this instruction again, please count for at least 1 to 2 seconds between each instruction so that we can follow along. Thanks!

Thank you. For something so simple, for some of us, it's not so simple. But what is nice is that programming the Baofeng radios is consistent and once the light is lit, simple to do. Thanks for flipping the switch to on. AD6AE

You were going perfect speed for me dude. What I didn’t catch. I just rewinded 10 seconds.

A step that seems to be skipped by many is that you need to be in VFO mode not Memory mode. If the frequency has a number next to it you need to hit the orange VFO/MR button and then you can type in frequencies.

Thank you 👍. That’s a great video straight to the point. You’re very good at showing the Baofeng activation steps..!

I just watched this again to check my notes because in the field, I will not have a laptop with CHIRP in my kit. You are an excellent presenter and well-organized instructor. 👍 Dave - AD6AE..

Thanks for this instructional video. I got my brother interested in amateur radio and to get his license. He died suddenly in 2018 and I got his boxes of these types of hand held radios. I am not sure why he had so darn many. I get overwhelmed and it's nice to see this video on these for programming. I am not used to these. I am much more familiar with other brand hand helds. Anyway, thanks for the video I can refer back to when I decide to try again.

I bought two of these with the extended batteries, thinking that I was going to be able to use these but this is something I do not have time to learn lol wow I had no idea how difficult ham radios were

I was in channel mode, so when I started typing 146 it would switch to channel 146. I took a minute to push the 'orange' button and switch to frequency mode, THEN I can enter a frequency.

Outstanding thanks

Can you explain CTCS and T- DCS ? Not sure why you add these two to the programming.

How do you know if the repeater is T-DCS or T-CTCS? The listings I have seen don't say.

Good Evening ! I am new to this and I am intersted in the purchase of the radios and looking to learn how to program, can you point me in the direction of your videos of where to start please also do they offer anything in digital

Hey i have same ham radio no.license. i have progammed it on frs freq. But what can i use as the maximum power output without getting in trouble

Is there a away to program a channel to beable to just listen . And one channel to Comunicade? Like one frequency to just listen to what they are saying and one channel to send to other radio in a different frequency. With out having to press A/B. Like stay on frequency B but when someone talks on frequency A it stops B then when they are done you can continue on B?

When i type in 146.520 it end up cancelling and resets the frequency. Any idea whats stopping me?

What is the receive frequency and the transmit frequency are different? How do I program them or is that the +/- that you spoke about? If so how do I figure the +/- out?

That's the + - or split as we call it. Download an app called RepeaterBook. That will most likely have what you're looking for.

How do you save this to favorites. Once Google gets involved nothing can get done!

It always says cancel when I input the last digit of any frequency code, why is this please have I a setting wrong somewhere?

I hate Baofeng's. Wow, now I feel better. I'm sure many will like your videos on the Baofeng. Some people..."some people" love the fang's, so this video may be a big help them. Good on you Mike !

Some of them do have different firmware versions so it is possible it won't work on all of them.

It’s a learning curve y’all. Back in the 80s we did pause and rewind. That is still a thing. 😉

Should you really transmit without an antenna? Anyway, great video, and hopefully really helpful for new and aspiring hams!

Baofeng radios are highly engineered to lower their output power at the presence of a high impedance so as to not damage the finals lol!

I can follow your pace, but my radio only saves the first frequency on ch 1. After that every time I save to ch 1, 2 … it shows the default freq… wtf??

Totally confusing . Still No wiser

Trying to figure this thing out, I realized why the Marin corps made me a forward observer, not an actual radio operator. I’m my defense though, the PRC 77 was an easy use analog, that I could listen to TV shows on while in the field. I’m still waiting for mine new baofeng to charge. So stupid that you need to be smart to use a radio.

Given that this isn't a video on how to program NOAA into your radio that doesn't surprise me. That is beyond the scope of this video. But, you probably have a radio that is locked to the ham frequencies. Most times you can open it up by simply doing a full reset. Menu 40, Reset All. If that doesn't work, try holding down the Moni, PTT, and VFO buttons while turning on the radio. You should see "factory" come up on the screen and it will be unlocked to more frequencies that include NOAA. But technically that is illegal so do it at your own risk. I accept no liability. And for the love of god, don't ever transmit there!

Thanks for watching. While there's nothing I can directly do to this video as I've already made it, you can control the playback speed of a video. Hover your mouse over the video. Hit the gear at the bottom right hand side and chose "playback speed". Then you can chose how fast it plays back. For example, chose .5 and it will playback at 50% speed. It makes some adjustments to the audio too so it doesn't sound quite as weird as typical videos that are slowed down. Hope that helps.

Dude. Slow down. Geez

Do you really assume everyone knows wtf you’re talking about? wtf?

Apparently, this how to video isn't for beginners that have no idea what the hell you're talking about. You may as well be speaking greek dude

Once again, another radio video useless for us new guys just beginning because your already using terms and talking like we already know!! Honestly, I havnt bought radios yet because every video ive watched is even more useless than the last for beginners.
