This Supercharged Baofeng Radio Picks Up Almost Everything!
• This Supercharged Baof...
A tenner is not bad for the effort and all that, but I sincerely hope that you can get the files just emailed directly and skip the mess of posting a USB...
Yes, this can be posted as share on google drive. The author could charge for the password to a zip file.
I’m not sure I don’t think so
@@RingwayManchester What do you mean you don't think so? It's literally impossible not to be able to digitally sell the frequencies if they can be put on a USB and shipped. Suspicious reply, mate...
@@badhairday-m7iwhat you on about suspicious?? It’s not my product, the guy is selling USB’s! Not the files! Message him yourself and ask!
@@RingwayManchesterIt's probably safer for the guy to do it that way, given the terms of eBay and all that.
He'll have a received receipt from postal services to say it was delivered that he won't have if it's done digitally.
I'm ordering one... Thanks for the info. Appreciated 🤜🤛
I would love to have something available like this in the U.S.
im glad you made this video lewis will come in handy when my radio arrives 👍👍
I remember when the Baofeng and Woxun radios first hit the Market many years ago, I bought a load of them in from China and created a similar list on chirp and programmed them all with over 150 frequencies for all local repeaters and simplex channels and any other frequency we could listen to in Northern Ireland, I went around all the Radio rallies and sold them programmed and made about £2 on the radio, and programmed anyone with their own radio for free
It is a good, time saving idea. I wish my area of the US still had non-digital, non-encrypted traffic on the public safety bands. There are still a few local agencies that use analog, but there is not much traffic on those.
Well, because analog was easy to monitor and get the TX for, emergency units had to go digital.
I live in Pittsburgh, PA. 99.999% of the police, fire and EMS comms in Allegheny County are STILL just UHF-FM analog and "in the clear" (Only City SWAT is digital and encrypted) So luckily a UV-5R is a valid option as a scanner here! It's much slower than a Bearcat BC125AT (My usual recommendation) But it'll get the job done. Also the UV-54 is an excellent radio for the "railfan" on a budget.
@jamesslick4790 over here in Cambria county, our police are all fully encrypted A25 protocols , it's a real drag , also it's all up in 800 MHz band , it really stinks. I'm surprised that you guys haven't flipped we're also trucked so using SDR dangles are tough to hear non police comms. There's still analog public service frequencies but here it's few and far between. Even Somerset County is similar with radio. Just fire and EMS is really the only thing to hear and they are all up in 800 too.
We meed a US equivalent over on this side of the pond! Anyone??
It would require spell checking , otherwise I would have suggested you do it.
@@321CatboxWA What? The services and frequencies are different
@@321CatboxWA lol
That's imposable as a "stand-alone" on nationwide scale.. You would not only need a state specific file, you need a COUNTY specific file. The only things NATIONWIDE (that work on this series of radios) are HAM, GMRS,FRS, MURS and RAILROAD. (These radios are TOPS for "railfans" in the US!
@@jamesslick4790not only not impossible, but actually produced. It was a big book it was sorted by State and frequency. It looks like somebody scanned one of them into the internet archive as paper and there's three versions of the CD up there just do a search for police call and Radio Shack.
I put up version 3 of the CD it's a raw ISO it would need to be burned to something there's also version 4 and 5 up there that I found with a quick search. I will say that in the intervening years a lot of those frequencies have gone digital or trunked, but the frequencies are still in use. Sometimes looking at older lists are also good for finding frequencies that aren't necessarily properly licensed anymore but are still being used. But every frequency in use legally has to be listed in the FCC database for the universal licensing system. And that is what the book was based on.
be good for clubs that tends to give these radio's as a rewards presents to those who passed the beginners test.
I watched the last vid showing all the frequencies and manually put them in my uv5rm, I spent a couple of hours doing it and my fingers didn’t appreciate it but I did. Thanks .
Is there any way you can share the file you made? It would be massively appreciated
@@JorvikBerserkir I’m 60yrs old and never owned a pc, I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing but I own about a dozen ht radios as well as base radios and everyone has been programmed by hand directly into the radio so I’m sorry to say I have no files to share.
The fellow that ran all this down put in some legwork for sure. I’m inclined to load something like this on a machine with SDR but cramming this inside a poor little baofang is frankly remarkable!!
Click & Load.... Thats it! 🤫
Excellent work. Ordered.
I did screengrab all the frequencies you listed but realised that I'd probably go mad inputting them all..
This, therefore is well worth the money!
Cheers :)
Me: setting up a transmitter that just plays Mrs. Brown's boys nonstop
😂😂
That's Nice....
This is great, however, the name Signal Stick is already in use by a very well respected antenna company. I though from the title it was going to be from them.
Most departments in the US have dumped radios for a cell phone type system. They just proved the folly of that in the last hurricane.
Mine came today. Loaded I'm to chirp just fine and im a rank amateur. Useful bit of kit.
It’s actually £12.50.
I don’t mind paying for people’s work time as a business I’m used to it but bloody post as well. Why can’t I have it emailed with a password after payment using PayPal.
I don’t want another stupid dongle that’s just going to end up in the bin.
Shame. Great idea.

I’ve suggested it to him
@@RingwayManchester I mentioned gumroad in another comment as a way to sell digital assets (such as this CSV file), hope it reaches the author :)
Stop whining
@@EveryUserName what is cut and pasted from another reply ????
Hi, newcomer here. I got a Baofeng UV-5R & a Baofeng UV-10 a few months ago, largely inspired to do so by Not A Rubicon & yourself respectively. I haven't CHIRPED either yet, just been punching frequencies in manually. It genuinely surprises me that people can't hear anything. With just my limited knowledge I'm getting local traffic management & construction chatter (as well as kids mucking around) on PMR 446 & patching into repeaters no problem. No licence yet, so just been listening so far. Perhaps living at the top of a pretty big hill & turning the squelch down is helping me?
Anyway, thanks for this, I'll get one of these sticks for when I program in CHIRP, it will be a lifesaver 👍📻
Haha, kids mucking around, I remember there were some kids talking to each other on the last video about the radio itself!
I might have to buy one of these just to see what I can pick up, and if they're as good as I think they will be, might just get a couple of those radios so I can effectively create a 2-way radio system for use at work. Would be way better than those AAA-powered walkie talkies that don't work and chew through batteries...
If your not licensed yet, you should stay off the repeaters before you find yourself in trouble or accidentaly cause problems!
@@chrissewell1608 Thanks for the tip. I don't transmit, I just listen. As far as I know that's fine. If it's not I'd appreciate if you could explain why that's the case. Everything I've read or seen so far indicates that as long as I don't press the ppt button there's no issues. Please let me know if that's not the case.
@@TheSpotify95 They're light years ahead of those old style PMR 446 radios. Strictly speaking you can't use Baofengs on those frequencies though licensed or otherwise (although lots of people do)
@@chrissewell1608 Btw f it's a case of not having my offsets correctly programmed - I have. Really not sure how listening will cause problems, but please explain if I'm wrong about that.
Signal stick ordered and eagerly awaited. 73's and good DX M0NVQ
nice, i have compiled one usable for my local country , including DNT channels
Great effort like this needs to be supported I'm in the US, But I will likely buy this software (software AND hardware, LOL)
A lot of these sound like hospital comms. Crash calls are when someone is really poorly. Theatres could also be hospitals
That a good idea, for someone new or traveling to the U.K.
We are traveling to London, next year, for the first time. I would love to take my HT along and make contacts, but being a U.S. technichan class, I don't think its allowed!?
But, I could still monitor stuff.
This is awesome work! Now i just need a portuguese version of these frequencies...! If anyone knows anything about it, comment please
Well done to Chris!! Suggestion re frequencies to add, some low earth FM satellites eg SO-50.
thats so cool got to buy 1 amazing
Thank You.
We need onw for america brudda
Trouble is everything is digital over here ( at least all of the fun to listen to frequencies are )
What’s the buzzer been up to?
Im being thick here, can i also import this info into something like an HD2 dmr radio? Would like to have an all singing and dancing ht
does The Baofeng en stick work in The Netherlands?
Hi Lewis....Are the local link frequencies for Allstar with relevant ctcss tones on this stick?
Is there a way to buy and download the file for international buyers outside UK?
I’m not sure you’d have to ask the seller
so its UK frequencies wish someone would do one in Australia
Why don't you do it? All it takes is dedication! But its probably free to download on the internet already!?
I do appreciate a good bussines idea! But it baffles me that people cannot take the time to just scan the damn frequencies and save the damn channels!!
What about the baofeng ar-5rm it looks about the same as what your showing do you know anything about them
I would suggest Google drive, discord, email, etc instead of USB sticks. It's more efficient all around, and inserting strange USB devices from the internet is a bad habit. With the cost of the USB and shipping gone the seller will get more profit, or enable the seller to lower prices. With all the (free) ways for the seller to host and distribute these files, a USB stick in the mail seems wastefull if not suspicious.
Suspicious? Chris is 60 and this is the way he chose. Not everyone’s out to get you 😂
Can you scan 2 channels with this baofeng ?
Honestly, and not wanting to sound negative, but I wouldn't dream of putting a USB drive into my computer that I received from a random person online (obviously Chris isn't random to you, but he is to others). I work in Cyber Security; you'd be surprised what people try and do. I'm not saying this person isn't legit, but you have to be careful. Same goes for installing random unsigned (and signed but more traceability) apps downloaded.
Appreciate most of the frequencies are legitimately in the public domain, but I wonder if they'll get a call like Paul Wey !! 🤭
I would hear nothing an till I bought a cheap dipole, just an hour ago I got on a gateway and spoke to a truck driver in Canada, antenna is a game chaner
Hi Lewis. Would he be able to write a stick for N Ireland 😮
I’m not sure Neil you’d have to message him through the link and ask
Thanks for the reply
Won’t post to Ireland either
Is it legal to listen to the firebrigade's or helicopter's radio this way?
Who's going to know if it is illegal? Who's going to come and kick your door in then drag you away?
still waiting on my baofeng AND quansheng. will this work on both radios? or is the quansheng sorted with firmware alone?
Does anyone know, or can Chris tell us, are the frequencies listed with a description for radios with a channel description/name text display? Or does the readme file have the description info so it can be printed or stored on a mobile device to refer to, when used with a radio that just displays the frequency and not any channel name/description text, so that the user can keep track of what category they're listening to?
Thanks for the vid as always, Lewis 👍🏻
The description is in 👍🏻
@@RingwayManchester cheers mate
Not bad at all .wish i could afford more chinese toys
Can we please get an Australian version!
i live the the US can i still use this for my radio?
Yes for us or world Freqs
The local repeaters business etc would be of no use
What's the video showing all the frequencies?
Link in description
Physical media? Does the guy selling these know that we are almost a quarter of the way through the 21st century, and nobody uses that stuff any more.
Also, Evri / Hermes are the worst of a bad bunch, as far as delivering anything to my address goes, so they can do one. I'm still waiting on a delivery from them, that should have come on Saturday last week. Effing useless! 😠
But my UV-5 does not have a USB port on it 😓
😂👍🏻
Does this work on Baofeng GT-3TP?
Yes any Baofeng
Where and how to get chirp ? Work on Android tablet?
Behehehe
Signal stick duly ordered.
