"Amazon or buytwowayradio who cares let's set'em up" LMFAO I like this guy.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!
I just bought 2 Baofeng GMRS-9R’s for a bug out bag I’ve been struggling for a week on how to operate and program these radios. I’ve figured out a lot, but your video really really helped me understand some of the features in the menu. You earned a subscriber tonight!
Would like to see a more in-depth explanation of the menu, if you could!
Keep up the great post!
Good video man! Straight to the point. I just got a Baofeng AR152. It's awesome. It has been on for 6 days now and is still almost full charge!
Finally, a straight to the point setup guide. Thank you!
I never comment on YT vids but I just had to on this one. Thank you for this, I’m a gmrs dimwit and you made this simple to understand. Thanks man.
Glad it helped!

Good positive and informative video. 👍
Thanks!
We have a good size group that changes (car club) with many different radios. It's it better to keep CTRC off
I just got a GMRS radio, I want to start from the beginning because I don't know anything, you video here taught me very much I didn't know, is there a way I can start from the beginning to understand the whole concept, I am not much of a talker, more of a listener, is there anywhere I can start to understand find frequencies repeaters and general knowledge for my GMRS radio? Any help you or any of your subscribers can provide would be very helpful. Thank You
New to this GMRS scene. I've learned more in this 10 min video than I have from anywhere or anyone. I still have lots of questions. So many in fact that I don't know where to start. The next step is a base station. Something plan a simple just like your setup. I'm also thinking of getting a repeater. Thoughts??? Great video.
I have a radio vid i am releasing in the next 2 weeks stay tuned! im going to be talking base stations handhelds, personal repeaters ect.
E=mc2!
Awesome video, great info, Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
How can I connect a BF-888S (FRS) radio to a UV-9G (GMRS) radio?
Can you do a walk through of the Btech 50-V2 that you showed at 8:55?
I have the same radio and as a newbie it's trying to learn how to interpret Mandarin with hieroglyphics lol
But how do we program a baofeng UV-5g plus...our instruction booklets doesn’t help....and all we can find on UA-cam is the UV-5R programming...and it’s not the same.
I was hoping you were doing a walk through of how and where you program the repeaters.
How do you connect FRS radios to GMRS radios?
Much of my confusion has been conquered. Thank you. Do you have a vid explaining how to set these up for repeaters?
Thanks for the comment. There is no reapeaters in my area but I am working on another full video about radios right now and i have a video out on how to make your own (audio relay) kind of a repeater your self.ua-cam.com/video/ivLYOSnsuEw/v-deo.html
Good video.. though, UV-5r is good if you run both licenses. Cuts down on equipment to carry.
Having a problem getting my GM-30 CHIRP configured to transmit using the RANCHINO. If possible, can you do a video programming a GMRS radio to the Ranchino (in SoCal) repeater using CHIRP that would be great? I'm doing something wrong can't figure out what? TIA
Hello New user to GRMS, using radio Baofeng UV-9G I am connected to my local repeater I am getting hourly announcement time/weather from repeater. When I do radio check , I will not get any response. can any one help? Thank you Wayne.
So if you have two repeaters with the same repeater frequency but with different Tx or input tones, how do you program both repeaters on your Baofeng radio? You only have 8 repeater channels on GMRS, each corresponding to a different frequency.
Is the GMRS-9R base charge only, or will it charge through the battery via USB?
Thanks for the video, def it helps. Im trying to set up GMRS repeater on Baofeng uv 5G,
local repeater info
462.725 MHz
Frequency
241.8 Hz
Input Tone
192.8 Hz
Output Tone
Could you do video on the set for this, on a UV 5G.
I am almost. there I think. getting the. " kick back " when I key the mike, but verbal is not coming through. I think offset is wrong maybe.
it seems like this is on repeater channel 22 so you will get it on 462725 but your radio will autotransmitt on 467725 turn your rx tone off and your transmit tone to 241.8. Thats what i would try first but no matter what turn tour rx tones off and just try both tones in. its weird that this repeater has got 2 differnt tones i have not seen that before. I hope this can help at some point im going to do a repeater vid.
Connect with motrola and baofeng uv5r 😊
New here just learning how to use gmrs radio. Do i need to sau my call sign everytime i transmit?
No just every few minutes
Great video! How do you program in a repeater? Thanks again!
I literally have no repeaters in my area i wish i could. but heres a quick vid how to make a repeater of your own sorry i really would like to maybe in the future i may set up my own perminant repeater. ua-cam.com/video/ivLYOSnsuEw/v-deo.html
I think GMSR repeaters are unicorns .. 1:40 they suppose exist but I've never been able to connect to one or know if I was connected to one
Same
how do you get the channel names to appear instead of the frequencies? I have MDF- A & B set to Name. I have utilized Chirp to set up my channels, etc but they only show the frequencies.
it is something you can do in chirp i have not done this. maybe in the future i will
I have a Baofeng GM-15 Pro with the ABBREE AR-771 Antenna trying to set up mine so I can talk to people using my call sign not sure what I'm doing wrong how do I set mine up I don't want any privacy at moment using it to talk to others on certain channels any help or advise appreciated
Where are you trying reach how far and do you have somone listening on the other end?
So basically, I see no need for the software, however, I would like to do some naming of channels and radios. But I’m having issues doing so, the baofang software will download but will not “set up” on my computer. It can’t find the file. And then when I go to use chirp, I get this message. “Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want.”
Any advice?, other than purchasing the RT systems, cable, and software? I’m afraid to waste money on that, and not be able to use it also!
I have never messed with chirp i probably should educate myself on it at some point.
What’s a good, I guess you can say starter hand held radio? One I can leave in my shtf bag, like a basic baofeng bf-88a? Or something more?
Depending on budget
I like the Baofeng UV-9G it’s a water proof gmrs radio cost about $45
i like the one in the video the gmrs 9r
Nice i just looked this one up. its very similar. Thanks!
Awesome I’ll check it out I really appreciate it!
Hello friend, I have a gmrs-9r, I added the frequency 433.333, I can receive but not transmit, could you help me, thank you
That is not a GMRS freq the radio is set up to only work with the pre installed channels. you need a HAM radio or something else for that.
Hello, I accidentally deleted the Repeater channel #2.. How can I get that back on my radio?
I did not think you could even delete channels in a gmrs radio but i would go to menu item 40 reset all and try that should go back to factory settings.
My Baofing us-5g plus doesn’t have any of those settings on my menu
I have a uv 5g plus I just programmed in the tones today. There may be something wrong with it if it does not.
Hey i just got the GMRS-9R from Amazon, and the GMRS channels from CH15 and beyond don't allow me to transmit. Any suggestions? This is very frustrating 🥺
how do you know they are not transmitting? do you have tones set on other radios?
@@citizensurvivalplan I do not. Also, the led indicator isn't illuminating when I hit the PTT button. I just get a beep, but no transmission. Even the screen doesn't change color to the default orange.
go to menu 40 and reset all see what that does it seems it came with some sort of lock on it for whatever reason. if that does not work coment back to me i will look into this and try and help you mine did not do this.
@@citizensurvivalplan same result, but I wrote to them and they responded quickly! I'm sending them a video tomorrow for them to let me know if it's faulty or if there's a fix. Will update you here when they figure it out 🙏🏽
Thanks for your assistance!
Yeah let me know what they say.
Hi CSP need some help i just got my license and 2 baofeng 9r need to program them to communicate with my wife using a repeater to extend the signal..pls help
Are u trying to use a local repeater?
Yes I am
well do you have your ctcss tones and channel feq set right are you close enough to get to the repeater?@@amdo699
I have the frequencies and tones but no idea where to enter the information. @@citizensurvivalplan
There's no one in my area using radios...
And I have the upgraded version of the 9R.
well ham radio is more for meeting people on the radio gmrs is radio for your team/ family friends. whats the upgraded version like gen 2 model or a model with extra features?
The Baofeng UV-5RHP is a good little cheap radio. I don’t get why you tell people not to get them. Perhaps you didn’t know that the UV-5 comes in a GMRS version, called the UV-5G. Which means that you don’t have to program it with the frequencies, like you did. Now, if you are one of those SHTF survivalists (something like that) or outdoorsman, then yes, the lack of waterproofness becomes an issue. There other radios that are way better. My current favorite is the Ailunce HA1G. A great radio build like a tank. But and I am looking forward to getting me a Wouxun KG-UV9GX.
I am going to check this radio out. Yeah I want people to have a Ham radio like the uv5rhp but i want them to really focus on getting a bunch of radios like gmrs to hand out and use during shtf gmrs is more simple.
Actually, I have to correct myself, because the UV-5G is IPX4 rated. Just like the new upgraded version UV-5G Plus. Which means that rain should not hurt it. While the UV-9G is IP-67 rated. Which means that it can be submerged in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
Why aren't you using Chirp to program these radios? It's so much easier!
Because thats not what the video is about people need to know how to program from the radio first. Im going to do a video on chirp soon.
weeelll they arnt "base" radios. base radios are 110 volt. those are mobile and require 12 volt and require a extra expense of a power supply.. just making that clear because there is people who have put a 110 plug on those red and black wires and destroyed there radio and if they lived they where pissed. good video other wise just be safe
Don't set any privacy tones unless your just talking to family or friends. If you want to talk or listen to the world. The privacy tones need to be off. If your using a node, privacy off, a repeater, privacy off. If you talking to your kids in thier tree house and you don't want the guy down the street listening. Do the privacy tone.
Privacy tones are not private. The guy down the street could still listen even if you had them in.
😂 privacy tones aren't private. They simply allow you to ignore other people. It's useful on a repeater. But everyone else can still hear you
I cover this in the video. You should watch it....
Dude, he said that in the first couple of minutes!
🤦🏻♂️ he literally said that
