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.

Us fat guys always get screwed.... Need a 5XL. Actually went to order it. Guess I need to put the cheesesteak down............................😂😂
"Just ask any HAM radio operator" 🤣🤣🤣
Good timing of this one. All the SHTF channels, preppers, etc have been off the hook recently
Not only am I Randy’s favorite viewer, but he said I was a cool-kid too, no matter what that metal marine said about me in another video comment section. Thanks Randy!
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.
so like 97.7 or 97.8 FM?

Randy really explains the programming very well. Baofang should hire YOU my favorite Reviewer, to write there manuals!
I've seen his videos under many baofengs on Amazon lol
Got my UV5R programed up and works great...with the larger battery it runs on scan for 3 full 24/7 days/night...all while on scan with all the freqs running.. I made a set up that will plug in to my Walker head set...I can sit in silence while hearing nature around me "and" listen to "ALL" the bands. Unlocked, you cannot beat it ...rock on
Once again you have come to the rescue of this old Jarhead . I have several channels that I have programmed into my radios for LISTENING only/ and information gathering [one can never have enough local information when the crud hits the fan]
I might get a promotion at my job just from learning from all your TH-cam videos. Thank you very much!!
As an unlicensed Ham OPERATOR I confirm that uv5r is the best Ham radio world wide
45 seconds in and already bringing it to the sad hams
Am I the only guy repeatedly pausing his videos rolling frame by frame to catch the messages like a pre teen boy trying to catch a nip slip? I don't even have a radio and I can't stop watching his videos!
No, had to pause it repeatedly .... Still don't get it. I 'think' he is hitting the Menu button to delete a channel but not certain ...
Thanks Randy. I just loaded two NOAA channels on my two radios. Got my Ham and GMSR last month. Now working on how to use them.
I have just subscribed to your channel after looking for NOAA info from TH-cam. I caught the comment about the FCC/NOAA information...I paused the video to read the small print. I think you and I will be friends!
VFO - Variable Frequency Oscillator
Thanks so much for your videos. They’re super informative and definitely not boring. I have a playlist of several of your videos that I will binge as I learn to use my UV-5R.
I'm a cool kid when I watch your videos! And don't worry about the trolls, being a sarcastic pr**k is a gift. lol..
BTW, the VFO button is an acronym for variable frequency oscillator > self explanatory.
Gosh, I got to the point (after only knowing about this channel since a week or so) that I click like even before a single word has been said... sad...HAM... 🙂 Awesome content! Keep up the good work!
"I'm a cool kid"
I really appreciate your helpful videos and lovely humor. thank you very much.
Some how I deleted channel 0 idk. But I'm watching your vids to get more info just purchased 2 for home use.love your videos brother. Awesome channel ans subscribed. Thanks
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!
Look at his “all menu options explained” video. It’s in there.
Damn it Randy..... They made that harder than it should be..... But it worked Thanks again...

VFO stands for Variable Frequency Oscillator. In the context of radio communication, a VFO refers to a circuit or feature that allows the user to adjust and tune the frequency of the radio transmitter or receiver within a certain range.
In amateur radio, a VFO is commonly found in transceivers, which are devices that combine both transmitting and receiving capabilities. The VFO allows the operator to select and adjust the frequency they wish to communicate on. By changing the VFO's settings, users can tune into different frequencies to communicate with other radio operators, listen to broadcasts, or access various radio services.
VFOs provide flexibility in choosing frequencies and enable operators to adapt to changing conditions or engage in different modes of communication. They can typically be adjusted by using knobs, buttons, or digital controls on the radio equipment.
Overall, the VFO is a fundamental component of radio equipment that enables users to tune into and select different frequencies for communication or listening purposes.

What you say used to be true but nobody puts VFOs in radio's anymore. Its all digital Phased Locked Loops (PLL) now. They are putting VFO on the button because of tradition not technical correctness.
Super helpful, thanks! Going to be camping in 162.450 next week :)
Everyone knows - You need to adjust your VFO (Virtual Flux Orientation) to get proper weather reports, especially during a shark tornado!
In the baofeng software for the radio you can lock out any channels you don't want to scan.
Randy can you make a short video like this explaining how to listen to Sky warn channels and get them programed in a UV5r. I dont understand setting up the tones and the offsets. also when your in Memory mode and you set offsets and tones do they stay specific to each channel or do you have to set them each time you want to listen? thanks! Appreciate you!
Love your shirt, I need one.
Sad Hams are gonna hate you even more when they see your shirt
VFO stands for 'Variable Frequency Oscillator', for those of us who remember crystal oscillators from 60 years ago.'
The Baofeng UV-17R is now the best for your money.
I love ur freedom mats !
What are your thoughts on the UV-5R Pro model. Is there really a big difference? Thanks in advance.
Did you need jailbreak the radio first?
When programming a new radio. The NOAA weather channels are the first to go in. All 7 frequencies. Because, I like to freely, move about the planet..🚫😷. And I want to know what the weather is, before the 💩 ➡️ the fan! 🌩⚡🔥❄⛄🌀☔
NOAA weather channels work worldwide huh?
How do you turn on the radio 1st…
Seems that I am two yrs late on this question but I'll try anyway. I have emergency channels and lots of ham channels on my uv5r radios. I can and do scan these channels frequently. Question is: if I put my local NOAA channels in my radio, will it stop on these channels every time it goes around during scanning my other channels? If so is there a way to program these channels for use but not have to have them on rotation?
Need a review of the BF-H7 would be awesome
So, I have tried to go through every NOAA station on my radio and I don't hear a thing
VFO: Variable Frequency Oscillator.... sheesh... had to google that myself... see that VFO/MR button again and again and finally we know!! lol (I am NOT an FCC/HAM Keyboard warrior!!) lol
ONce I am in scan mode how do I skip the NOAA channel and stay scanning?
You dont.
Get this, power lines run right over my house, and the only thing I can ever pickup when scanning is the NOAA weather frequencies. I take that back, because I can also pick up 10 channels in the 54 MHZ range. Those channels in the 54 MHZ range are just the NOAA weather channels. So at my house I can only pick up NOAA weather channels in 162 and 54 MHZ ranges, and nothing else. Whether it be GMRS/FRS, MURS, HAM radios etc, I literally cannot get any signals at my house except for the weather channels. It is clearly the power lines causing it. I have to leave the house to get any signals. Being in my situation would make you be happy you at least get the weather channels. What makes things weirder is the first signal that always comes in as I move away from my house is a signal in the 119 MHZ range, and it too is just a guy repeating the weather, but it is not the NOAA channels. I am guessing it is some weather thing for planes. Power lines interfere with and kill radio signals. When I was a kid the woman next door had a CB and power lines ran beside our houses, and in certain rooms it would ruin all radio signals, but at least you could still get signals. At my house I cannot get any signals regardless of the room, or even in the yard. So hearing the voice of the NOAA guy is better than nothing.
chirp makes programming much easier
So is there a way to make it to where you can only listen to a certain frequency
“VFO stands for something”
Going on my tombstone if ok with you guys and gals. Have fun friends
What is the difference between the gt5r and the uv5r? yes I'm new to this
Greatly appreciated 🙏
Im in the correct frequency but I am unable to hear any of the local NOAA stations on my baofeng uv-9r pro. What am I doing wrong?
A few possibilities:
1) you aren't on the right frequency
2) you have a tone/code enabled
3) Your squelch is set too high
4) You are out of range of the stations
5) Your radio is defective
...i doubt your radio is defective..
@TheNotaRubicon Thankyou so much. Turns out I'm out of range for my stations. Drats. Thanks aggain for replying, best of luck to you sir.
I love the shirt
VFO stands for....
Very Freakin' Orange! Ok, now you know😊
I have a dummy questio, can you be traced just listen people or NoAA??
Wait, what does VFO mode stand for again?
Is the 935 direct conversion or a superhet?
Do you ever blink? Amazing editing and information
Blinking is for the weak-minded!
@@TheNotaRubicon 😂
Can't I just enter and save the NOAA frequency using CHIRP?
yes, if you choose to. But many people dont have computers, dont have the right cable, or dont know how to use their computer well enough to use CHIRP.
So quick question, how many channels can you save on these radios? Thinking about picking up a 2 pack from Amazon to have NOAA, fire and police saved for a few different areas so that I can listen in on those when in those areas
128 channels.
VFO = Very @uckin original thanks Rub
How to you listen to a Dmr network with uv5r
You dont.
^5 Cool Kids
Ima cool kid!
It has that big battery energy. 😉
VFO = Very Friendly Orangutans
I'm a cool kid! Thank you for your content and information!
my local noaa frequencies start with a 0 and i cant type that
Just like when counting money, a 0 in front of the number doesn't mean anything. All NOAA frequencies start with "1" - try it without the 0.

Just a cool kid looking for Easter eggs…
I'm a cool kid!
Ok it’s working unreadable and broken. Military radio terms different
I am now a certified NOA (U-tub certified)… LMAO 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Your videos are informative but my BF-F8HP at only $60 is essentially a UV-5R on steroids being that it transmits at 8 watts versus 5 watts so why do you keep saying the UV-5R is the best ham radio dollar for dollar? It seems like you’re obsessed with the UV-5R yet the BF-F8HP is better, has a higher capacity stock battery and has a higher power output for slightly more money. By the way, you can delete channel 0 or any channel.
I'm a cool kid😁
i'm a cool kid 😄
I'm a cool kid 😎
"VFO stands for ....... something? " bwah ha ha ha ha !
You actually can delete channel zero. You did not click menu again after selecting it. Just wanted to let people know that.
I'm a cool kid
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...
The GOD of all radios, the Baofeng UV-5r
well kinda, they have a baby (bf888) and a big brother (AR152) love then all
Your teaching skills and presentation skills are top notch.
"But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought." - General Jack D. Ripper
In a world gone mad from political overload, it's refreshing to see this psychotic Gen X nutjob review radios in typical Boomer fashion.
Don't think - just watch and let the weirdness wash over you.
"I'm a cool kid" - thank you, Randy, for the explanation of this stuff! Love your channel! Best to you!
What Thomas said. 👍
I don’t know why… I dig this guy and his info. Very informative and different from all the other BS on TH-cam.
HAHAHA I’m a cool kid! With ADD & OCD & a HAM Radio license. YOU 👈 are my favorite TH-cam personality.
Thanks for the inspiration for this! I always wanted a scanner to keep in my vehicle, but didn't want to leave an expensive radio in the truck. Setting up the UV-5R as a scanner was just what I needed!
I just bought a UV-5R and luckily got one of those "good" ones.
Very timely video. I just received my Uv-5R yesterday and wanted to start setting channels for scanning. Thank you. Always great videos. -Your biggest fan.
I watched and I dont even have a Baofeng. But good ideas on programing weather stations in my Ham radio. That Baofeng is $35???? I dont want to say what I paid for my HT Ham radio. But now, I am a sad ham.👍👍😎🇺🇸✌️.
Calm in your entry, collected in your delivery, concise in your information. I need a NotA patch for my rig!
Thank you! Very clear explanation. No boredom seizures. Nice job.
Who's a cool kid?...This Guy..
VFO = Variable Frequency Oscillator. Which is confusing because in channel mode, you are using the VFO to tune to a frequency. I'm not sure who comes up with these terms.
CHYNAH
I am pretty sure it was Japan. Where all the good radios were originally born. Before Chyna, started their upside down version.
When can we get our SAD HAM radio stickers?
Lol
Sorry NOTASADHAM sticker
I'm a cool kid 😂
Thank You for the simple things that need to be shown to us simple minded new users!
Ordered and received the KG-935G. Awesome battery, build, and display. Going to order the Wouxun 2 & 440 ham verson of the radio. Thanks for keeping us up to date on the good stuff.
Thank you for all of your videos! I am new to the game and you are extremely helpful.
One question, in channel mode can you save a channel in the lower B spot? I apologize for my ignorance!
He cares. If he didn't care, these would be like a 50s PSA.
Please spare yourself- don't search "50s PSAs"
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...
As a reformed Sad Ham, I appreciate your reviews. Although I am somewhat frightened by your intro music. 🙂
