    In this video I show you how to find NOAA Weather and Emergency Frequencies, how to add those NOAA channels/frequencies into your UV-5R, and save them, and how to scan through them - all with no cable/no computer needed - right from the keypad. The NOAA frequencies and channels are not just for the weather! The federal and local government also use these emergency channels after major SHTF events such as hurricanes, tornadoes and even earthquakes. In a major SHFT event, the NOAA emergency channels can be essential.
    You can get yourself a cool looking BIGGER battery for your Baofeng UV-5R here: amzn.to/3EgwheE
    Ready to move up to a better radio like MY new favorite GMRS radio? You can get a Wouxun KG-935G here: www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxu...

    Just received my Baofeng UV-5R a few days ago. Been watching your videos and have learned a lot. I guess since I have a newer version the radio allowed me to delete channel 0 and 127 so when I scan I only show the few I have ;programmed. Thanks for you videos.

    I've grown to love that Tacticool larger battery. The radio seems to fit my large paws better, and even if I'm using the remote mic, it won't flatten the battery over 8hrs. Maybe my imagination, but the clarity of tx/rx seems better.

  • @garyhinkle6895
    @garyhinkle6895 17 днів тому

    Sir, Thank you for your time, your videos, and most importantly your sense of humor. In your video which I so much enjoyed, you could not change the channel on the 0 and 127. Since I just got my radio and learning to use it, I thought I would try it. Yes, I was able to change the 0 to the NOAH Channel and the 127 to the 2nd NOAH channel... Just to let you know, it is possible to change them, however, you have to input a new channel in one of the slots for it to work.
    Great videos and great content... Keep it up.

    Because I wondered myself for a while what it stood for, I dug a little and found this. VFO = Variable Frequency Operation mode (Frequency Mode) and MR = Memory mode (Channel Mode). However, who cares lol...

    A variable frequency oscillator (VFO) in electronics is an oscillator whose frequency can be tuned (i.e., varied) over some range. It is a necessary component in any tunable radio transmitter or receiver that works by the superheterodyne principle, and controls the frequency to which the apparatus is tuned.

    Evening, NotaRubicon...
    Since I'm old now, and no longer follow directions very well, I'm hoping that once I can figure out how to program my new-still-in-the-box-on-my-dining-room-table UV5R - gen3 with the CHIRT software, these NOAA channels will be included? Sure hope so, anyway.
    Yeah, I went ahead and purchased a pair of these keen little transceivers along with the upgraded Nagoya antennas, the larger 3800 milliamp batteries, and the necessary to transfer data cable.
    It's exciting stuff, and this tutorial being the exception...I've so far enjoyed your channel very much.
    Thank you, and take care...

    I just stumbled across your channel last night and never laughed so hard. It was everything, funny, informative and really well done. I know a couple of hamsters and they said the same thing, "you can't use that radio without a license", yea right! Anyway, I know this has to be the dumbest question but, How can I change the Start up message when turning on the Baofeng UV-5R+PLUS? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I can't wait to start checking out the other videos you have to offer. Keep up the good work and thanks. It is the Best radio ever made in the world!

    Have you ever played with the TYT TH-UV88? At $35 I think it's in the running for "dollar for dollar" prize, but what's very nice is that it's the same radio as the Radioddity GM-30 GMRS radio. If you buy them both for about $75 total you get two radios, two batteries (one of which can be charged with USB-C), and a desktop charger that charges both. One battery needs a tiny mod to work in the other radio, but all in all a nice combo.

I haven't looked back to getting a new battery for the Yaesu even though it has better frequency coverage (153KHz to 1GHz, no gaps, thanks to some awesome mods) and a better (non-stock) antenna.

    @LD666BMX4201987 9 місяців тому

    Great video.. I had a question maybe you already have a video. Instead of your scan channels like you show can you have it scan on both so for example if I have 2 boafangs 1 is my base and 1 is my mobile. On the base can I have it scan on both A & B so say for example the A scans all FRS channels Frequencies and B scans all GMR channels Frequencies so you have a all FRS/GMR scanner then I could use my mobile or my main PTT uv-5r as a you know mobile where I can put on that 1 A FRS and B GMR slot for the on the go listen or chat and say if my gf/wife was at home she could hear my chat or even PTT back no matter what channel I was on because the fact I would have all FRS/GMR in my base home walkie... thanks
