Just collected a new baofang UV-5R
and I have finally figured out how to program pmr frequencies and the correct sub channels :lol: :lol: :lol:
Once you figured it out I can setup a UV-5R with 8 channels in only a few minutes. In fact by the time @springs had downloaded chirp for Windows, then gave up on the driver, downloaded it for Linux, installed XMing and copied my config, I'd have programmed his radio alreadyThe only thing I'd like chirp for is to change channel and radio names.
If you're doing it by hand, it's a pain to do. Best is to get the free open source software Chirp ( http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home ), and an appropriate baofeng programming cable (like this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BAOFENG-UV-5R-BF-888S-Radio-USB-Programming-Cable-FREE-Program-Software-CD-/221798554834?hash=item33a4395cd2:gJwAAOSwFMZWrwUV )
Ignore the CD it comes with. Also read the chirp site about programming (especially Baofengs and cheap cables with Windows OS).
What I've bought today, as indicated in my previous post![]()

Just remember that the UV-5R is too high in power to legally transmit on PMR446 channels. The lowest it goes is twice the allowed limit and it has a detachable antenna (also not allowed for PMR446 handsets). By default it transmits at 10x the allowed power (5W instead of 500mW) so be sure to - at a minimum - turn it down to low power (1W).Just collected a new baofang UV-5R

Not that you'd ever get caught, but ya know if enough people start doing it...
Also bear in mind that if your site has a license that you can transmit on their business/site frequencies with permission. You can then safely utilise higher power bands too. If you're in a team then a license is only £75 for 5 years between all of you, so that's worth considering as well.
Wow...worth more than all of my guns combined!Just brought a Robin Hood desert eagle kit for my TM Deagle.
