Programming Channels on the BaoFeng UV-5R - DCS and CTCSS

In this video I demonstrate how to properly program channels (and the channel's DCS or CTCSS parameters) into the memory of your Baofeng UV-5R.

Sorry for the strange coloring of the video, I had to lower the saturation as my camera had a hard time picking up the transceiver's screen due to the blue backlight.

Wow! You made it so simple for all of us beginners! So fricken easy! I will go back to college for five more years and then watch your video again to understand the fast lesson

[jimkoroush]

Fastest, no nonsense functions display I have seen yet. I give a 10

You lost me when you turned it on. Other than that, great video!

In less than one minute I found out what was wrong with my new baofeng, thanks to your video.

[kimbabgig]

this video is for people who already know everything about it.

Thanks a lot... everyone is saying that the video is too fast but it wasn´t.. i don´t know crap about the radio and it was easy to follow your instructions. Thanks again!

[MalcolmGillis]

Thanks, Just what I needed. Simple and easy

Do you know if it's common for the UV5R to show both - and + on the display after setting the duplex to + 5.khz offset. The radio still works, tx and rx but the tx is scratchy. Thinking this may be the cause.

whats the difference between DCS and CTSS?

Thank you. Much appreciated. I own the slightly upgraded model of the UV-5R, the BF-F8HP, and was curious if there's a way to store FM channels? I understand how to place it in FM mode, and I also have the OEM programming cable. Just can't figure out how to store a commercial FM broadcast frequency. If it doesn't have that capability... it's not a deal breaker. Thanks again.

I love how you skip 90% of what you’re you press menu then tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap different button tap tap tap different button tap tap tap tap tap. So informative!

I saved all of my channels on R-DCS setting D047N.
I assume it’s not picking up the channel because the tone is wrong for my 50 something presets, can this be fixed or do I have to save each frequency with the R-DCS set to “off” ??

[gemstun]

If your transmitting with dcs then would other radios not using the same dcs code pick up transmission?

For the baofeng to be so popular (except among the ham purists) it certainly stinks when it comes to factory instructions. Far from user friendly for the novice / beginner.

Thank you.. you help me... by your video... God blessed

[fwcnbov]

Finally I video I can understand! Bad thing I had to slow down the speed to catch on. But still good job thank you

[Retch]

Programming channels made brilliantly simple, thank you.

[gruposkandalo]

I have an idea that I’d like to get you involved in; can you install a “Telegraph Keyer” app in your cell phone and connect its audio out to the radio’s mike plug rigged to have a PTT like switch?
Please let me know the result.

Okay so I got my channels programmed A&B receiving and sending and I accidentally touched the button in the middle of the night on a fire call and now upper and lower channel do not lock together from pre-program to pre-program how do I return it to that state where Upper and Lower moved together while pushing the arrows or scanning

[itrstt]

How can i only program line A with channels and leave the line B without channels?
