Baofeng Uv 5r Manual For Dummies

  

Game of thrones mod. You now have to go BACK to frequency mode by pushing the VFO/MR button and dial in the INPUT frequency of the repeater you want to use. Why the radio was setup this way I don't know, but that is one of the peculiarities of the Baofeng UV-5R radios and why most people opt for the USB programming cable.

I am studying for the Technician's test in the US now. I bought one Baofeng UV-5R and one BF-F8HP radio to play with in the mean time. I checked out the database here, programmed the local police frequencies using CHIRP and I am not picking up anything other than some occasional static.
I do get some EMS and fire, but I suspect I'm not receiving most of the most interesting frequencies in my area.
I figured maybe I needed to enter more info when using CHIRP so I paid for the Radio Reference Premium Membership so I can import all of the appropriate info into CHIRP then upload to the radio/radios. I'm still picking up nothing.
I am definitely a newb, but would LOVE for someone to confirm whether I'm doing something wrong or if these radios just won't pick up these frequencies due to being digital, trunked or something like that. Can you see anything in these screenshots that would indicate that my radios should not pick up these frequencies?

I have held an amateur radio license for 30 years. I think this is one of the best values I have purchased. This little radio does not compare to the name brands that have been around for years of course but for the price you can take it with you anywhere and not worry about it being stolen, getting wet, falling form a high place or any other hazard. not because it is rugged (which it is not bad) but the cost of replacement.
The radio functions well with clear audio and a decent range. The antenna leaves a little to be desired as well. I think I have 8 of these now. in my car, my office, my truck and my go bag and ...My handheld before this was a Kenwood and no this does not compare for clarity and range but, battery life is actually better.
If you are not a licensed amateur it is illegal to transmit using this radio (possible large fine). So if you just want to listen you are welcome, But if you want to talk on these frequencies please study and pay the the few dollars to get your license all the test questions are on the internet. And this is an inexpensive first rig to get your feet wet with.
