Thanks! That's a great deal on those. I bought a Baofeng UV5R radio a couple of years ago and it's been very handy. This one looks even nicer.

I wish I could pay someone to program mine. I'm not good at that stuff

I may be able to help you out TT...is it a Baofeng or something else?

Pulled the trigger on one... Have a couple of UV-5R's and looking forward to a little more power with this radio...

If anyone has one of these that needs to be programmed in the Plymouth / Bremen / Nappanee area, I will be more than happy to help you out. Have the programming cables and software to do the UV3 / UV5 / UV-82 / BF-F8 series radios...

Quick question- can these be programmed using the CHIRP freeware?

The UV5R could be, I'm assuming this one can as well.

 

[NavyVet]

The latest "Daily Release" of Chirp should support this radio. Programming cable is the same as the UV5R...

Thanks Bill!

You're welcome.

Hi, I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to these types of radios, I was wondering if you need to be licensed to operate this radio?

 

[Glock Fan]

Yes, an FCC Amateur License is required if you plan to operate the radio in the 2m or 70cm modes.

 

[Davis0023]

But you can use the grey area of FRS, even the GMRS, MURS (grey area). Get your tech license,,

 

[The Keymaster]

Bought one of these. Not bad for the price. Chirp works fine. I finally loaded Chirp on my Macbook. It's nice not having to get my Windows laptop out to do programming.

Warning

Always make sure you are using the latest daily build of Chirp. Using an .img file from an older radio and and older version of chirp will cause your radio to not receive unless you hold down the moni button. It can be fixed but its a pain.

Hey guys! I bought 3 Baofeng uv5r radios with a programming cable about a year ago. I think I might even have a programming disk. However it seems that I am not technical enough to do the programming. I was wondering if there was any kind soul that would not mind "educating" me and showing me how to do it as ( well in realty probably doing it for me....) well as maybe showing me how these work and what is the most pragmatic ways to utilize these radios. Of course I am more than happy to supply beverages or some other incentive of interest to the volunteer that would not mind spending an evening ( I am assuming an evening would be long enough) to do so. I am in the Fort Wayne area and would love it if I could stay local. However beggars cannot be choosers so I am willing to do what I need to. Sorry for slightly changing gears here in this thread......

I can program them for you but consider learning to do yourself, it will help you understand the radio. The web page Miklor.com has detailed instructions. Once you get to the point where you can connect your radio to Chirp let me know and I will send you the FW file.

If you want in on the next comms class pm me.

It's not quite as cheap as last time, but there's a $5 off sale going on today and tomorrow on the BF-F8HP. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ativeASIN=B00MAULSOK&linkCode=as2&tag=btek-20
