How to Easily Add a Channel on a BTECH or BaoFeng Handheld Radio (without a PC)

Walk-through steps for manually programming the BTECH and BaoFeng handheld radios. Easily program your HT for Repeater or Simplex Channels along with adding CTCSS or DCS settings.

This video demonstrates the programming on a BaoFeng UV-82HP. The same menu steps work on the MURS-V1, GMRS-V1, UV-5X3, BF-F8HP, UV-82HP, UV-5R, UV-82, along with several other BaoFeng handhelds.

Good thorough explanation. This video helped me a year ago, and I came back and needed it again this year. :-) Something else that might help some people (like me): what the video calls "VFO mode" may be called "frequency mode" by the radio's voice menu system.

Thank you for taking the time to make and post this video. I had no clue how to do this using the useless users manual that came with the radio and while I plan on primarily using the pc software to program the radio, I’m still waiting on my programming cable to arrive. Manually entering a few frequencies on various channels has allowed me to do some immediate testing of the radio while I wait. Thanks again

I was ready to return my radio until I watched your video. I think there’s hope for this old man yet ! Thank you !

One of the best video's I've seen on programming a radio, clear, understandable and don't need a PhD to follow along. Thank you

[AmWestColl]

very precise (and rare to find) programming instructions. You made it easy !!! Thanks!

[EllyvanAmstel]

Thanks! I have a Baofeng and was unable to find the VFO on the 82. Now I have all the info I need plus I programmed a missing channel: The local repeater. Keep up the good work, 73, PA1EM.

Man this is hands down the best instruction video of this kind ibe seen simple short to the point with accurate information thanks for a great video keep it up

This is the best programming video for the Baofeng handheld. First rate!

[genoconte]

excellent. easy as can be. and presented very professionally. only thing i would add is the name of the function when you tell me to push a certain menu number. instead of just menu 23, say menu 23 and the name of the function, which is program a channel or whatever, so the viewer won't get too confused about all the menu numbers. there are a LOT of menu numbers. otherwise, perfect.
