I can hear some airband clearly on mine down to 128 Mhz, but I had to offset all the frequencies a little (+0.005). On some frequencies it's muffled or one sided and with the volume turned up you get a loud crack with the squelch closing. ATIS always sounds good which is handy for the weather. I use it as a cheap scanner and found ~18 UHF channels for MCR using a cheap SDR. It's a shame they don't repeat the approach frequency so I could hear what's flying around nearby too.
Just bought the Baofeng UV9r plus last month from wish. Really great Ham radio. Schiphol Airport ATC loud and clear. Even the Stena Ferries good quality to hear at Hook of Holland. My Daughter lives 6KM away from me in a big city and we can talk loud and clear no interference. And that for 89 euros for 2 UV 9R plus. Great buy😊
@@ItzjoshyVQ_37 Why do you think I said that lol, taught I had my 4 inches on but it was the 12 inches, i poke my eye so hard that I think I hit the back of my head, and it was dark, my friend didn't need is radio to hear my scream:)
I've got a uv-5r stock 136/400MHZ antenna and I'm picking up Manchester airport on this frequency and I live 20+ miles away. Can't believe it I can hear the tower and the planes comming in to land very clear if I hold the radio right and keep my phone away from it. It is quite high ground where I live but I wasn't expecting to get anything.
I was able to modify the frequency range to 126Mhz to 272Mhz with a gap at 180 to 190 and then 380Mhz to 543Mhz. I hear a lot now! One can listen to the AM frequencies but they are a bit on the staticy side and low volume. But FM has a huge reservoir of frequencies to listen to. You might even be able to push the transmit button on PMR446 and LPR433 and nobody will know what radio you are using. If you get the amateur radio foundation license, you can even push that tempting little transmit button on 2 meter frequencies and 70 centimeter frequencies. You can listen to 4 meter frequencies as well using the broadcast radio receive feature. It can be set to 66Mhz to 88Mhz and the 4 meter conversations can be heard. I may yet get that pesky foundation license.
Interesting post thanks. For what its worth you can't hear am on an FM set but you can hear FM on an am set that let's you fine tune the frequency. By tuning a bit off channel the frequency change of the FM translates to signal strength change so decodes as (roughish) speech :)
Great vid, thanks. I live spitting distance from Teesside Airport and monitor it with the Kenwood TS-2000 in my shack but it will be handy to use my UV-5R for the FM traffic.
As long as you respect the frequency range, In an actual emergency without a phone, even without a ham license. All is good. Just remember your meters and the frequency spectrum.
You need to clarify. The FCC defines emergency as immediate safety of life or protection of property when no other means of communications is available (97.403). This rules out most common emergencies. If you hear a noise outside, call 911. If your car breaks down, walk to a phone. If your house is on fire, go to a neighbor's house. This rule also doesn't justify the use of illegal/uncertified radio equipment (a Baofeng on aircraft frequencies, etc). You can still be heavily fined for such - not for the emergency call, but for the use of that radio.
@@grob25 .. Actually, I do. I own a lot of radio equipment, but what has that got to do with anything I said? The FCC rules are very specific, with this rule even explained further on the FCC website. Before spouting crap that will get people into trouble, I strongly suggest researching those rules.
@@Francois_Dupont .. However, the radio frequencies aren't a toy. With those frequencies more crowded than ever before, they're a valuable, even critical, resource that must be regulated and protected to avoid interference and disruptions. Besides, the FCC (or whatever regulating agency) gave us a plentiful chunk (CB, Ham, FRS, etc) to play with.
Does anyone know how I can listen to Liverpool Airport? I'm based in Liverpool I have a uv5re with I have upgraded the antenna to a fairly rated nagoya copy?? Its about 50cm long but I can't hear shit I'm scanning and it stops when it's found activity but the activity is just static, help anyone as you can guess I don't know what I'm talking about.
if you use chirp you can wideband a baofeng my UV-9R plus starts at 128.000 to 177.997 VHF and 384.00 to 523.997 UHF here is the link on how to do it on uv5r radios www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-Expand.php
you can edit the firmware so you unlock wider bands, but you cant really transmit on those extremes because the radio cant output anything at those frequency.

Motorcycle or bicycle?? For a motorcycle just buy a Sena for your helmet, speakers go behind your cheek pads and a mic goes near your mouth and you can talk to your friends in a private call or you can listen to the radio but not transmit
I use it to get Alaska Airlines to find out when a family member comes in. I wish it did true AM airband, I currently have to lend a radio when I fly my little floatplane. Not going to spend $200 on airband when I end up using mostly marine FM.

Is there that lives close to Chester that could help me.
Hi Jeff, there's no disk with frequencies on to put in it. You have to use chirp to programme it. if you have a cable and can get chirp installed I'll send you a file withlocal repeaters in
Can you hear an aircraft on a baofeng? Yes. In fact just forget the baofeng. Just use yoyr ear. See a flying plane? Just hear it and you should hear a plane noise
Damn mate. Find an online shop and read the description. Are you that lazy or just logically disabled? No offence but google is there for you so why would you bother another human being by asking questions that you can get answers in seconds? It really winds me up. Don’t answer please. Use that time to think a wee bit.
I have been listening to Manchester airport this morning ground and tower a lot of planes unable to take off and a few go arounds and a good few stacked up over st Helens area

You should be able to look up the frequency the airport uses online.
Hi, does anyone know what model this is ? I am looking for something to listen to Aircraft on and don't particularity want to pay a huge amount and this looks like a nice alternative. Thanks.
L ee I have a uv-35 and I can’t listen to aircrafts
i use my SDR with my laptop. 20 quid and you can get virtually anything, and my baofengs, i use for other things.
I have bought the GT-3TP I bought it to get into this hobby BUT I cant hear anything on it , it needs programing I believe how do I do that is there a disc that can be bought wit all the frequencies on it do you know, I have tried to down load chirp with out much luck but I wouldnt know what to do with it anyway. Is there that lives close to Chester that could help me.
Hi Jeff, there's no disk with frequencies on to put in it. You have to use chirp to programme it. if you have a cable and can get chirp installed I'll send you a file withlocal repeaters in
If you can send me a file do you want me to put my email on here or have you another idea, I have got a cable so thats not a problem
I have chirp installed now it wasnt that hard can you please send me the file now please.
Just waiting for the list please keep doing the youtube vids I am enjoying them.
Can you hear an aircraft on a baofeng? Yes. In fact just forget the baofeng. Just use yoyr ear. See a flying plane? Just hear it and you should hear a plane noise

Hiya mate just wondering what the full frequency and distance range is?
Damn mate. Find an online shop and read the description. Are you that lazy or just logically disabled? No offence but google is there for you so why would you bother another human being by asking questions that you can get answers in seconds? It really winds me up. Don’t answer please. Use that time to think a wee bit.
How do I connect though ?
How do I put in a repeater frequency to listen the tower at Manchester airport from Leigh in Wigan pal , or is it not possible ... Thanks
It's 455.550, I doubt you'll hear it from Wigan though
I have tried listening in Bolton and I can’t hear anything. Too far I think.
I’m trying my hardest to try and programme this into my baofeng but I don’t have a cable is there a way to do it with out thanks
There is Byron, I did a video on this. How to programme a baofeng without software
Can you use baofang with normal aa batteries ?
Thanks for the information, not something I had tried but will now.
I’ve got a dual band uhf,vhf baofeng uv-57 on the way and a good antenna, any tips?
Which is that tool
What is Exeter uplink and Heathrow uplink? And where do you type it in on a UV-5R?
How do you talk to other countries. How do u programm it
I have been listening to Manchester airport this morning ground and tower a lot of planes unable to take off and a few go arounds and a good few stacked up over st Helens area
