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
CTCSS, short for Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System, often referred to as tone squelch or PL (Private Line), is a system designed to allow users on the same frequency to avoid hearing other users not in their group. It operates on a principle known as "sub-audible" signaling, meaning the tones it uses are at frequencies below the normal hearing range of humans and don't interfere with the actual audio communication. These tones, usually between 67 to 257 Hz, are transmitted along with the voice signal, and the receiving radio will only unsquelch or "open up" to let the transmission through if it detects its programmed CTCSS tone. This technology is particularly useful in shared-channel scenarios, ensuring that groups can communicate amongst themselves without picking up all traffic on a given frequency. For example, if two different groups are using the same channel, each group can have their own CTCSS code. Group A's radios are programmed to transmit and listen for one specific tone, while Group B's radios are set for a different tone. Radios in Group A won't hear transmissions from Group B and vice versa, even though they're on the same channel. In the context of repeaters (devices that extend the range of radios by receiving a signal and retransmitting it on a different frequency), CTCSS is used to activate the repeater. A user must transmit the correct CTCSS tone for the repeater to pick up and retransmit their message. This prevents the repeater from keying up for stray signals or interference. Understanding squelch is key to grasping how CTCSS fits into radio use. Squelch is a circuit that silences the audio output of the receiver when there are no strong incoming signals. Without squelch, you'd hear a lot of static or noise in the absence of a transmission. With CTCSS, the squelch circuit is specifically looking for signals that carry the correct sub-audible tone. If the tone isn't present, the radio remains quiet, even if there are signals strong enough to open a standard squelch. This makes CTCSS an effective tool for creating semi-private communication channels on public frequencies, enhancing usability and reducing unwanted noise from other users. DCS, standing for Digital-Coded Squelch, operates on a principle similar to CTCSS but takes a digital approach. Instead of using continuous tones, DCS utilizes digital codes to establish communication privacy and reduce unwanted noise on shared frequencies. This system embeds a digital code word in the communication signal, which is not audible to humans. A receiver set to a specific DCS code will only activate or "unsquelch" when it receives a signal with the matching code word. This method provides a finer filter for communication channels, particularly useful in crowded frequency environments. It's especially effective in ensuring that only transmissions with the exact digital code are heard, thereby minimizing interference from other users not part of the group. With 104 standard DCS codes available, users have a broad range of options for setting up their private channels. When setting up or accessing DCS on a radio, users will navigate to the DCS settings in their device's menu, selecting the specific digital code they wish to use for their group. This code must be shared and set up identically across all devices within the group intending to communicate with each other. For example, if a group chooses the DCS code 023, all members must configure their radios to transmit and receive with this code. When transmitting, the radio automatically adds the chosen DCS code to the voice signal. On the receiving end, the radio checks for this code; if it matches, the communication is allowed through. If not, the signal is ignored, keeping the channel clear of unwanted transmissions. This digital squelch system enhances communication security and clarity, making it an ideal choice for groups needing reliable and private communication over two-way radios.
@@Sead0g Great explanation! If I understand correctly, group A's receive LED should still light up when group B transmits, to help prevent someone in group A from accidentally transmitting at the same time as someone in group B, since the groups are now effectively muting each other's transmissions; and one function of the monitor key is to temporarily un-mute the incoming transmission (ie. to make sure it's not an emergency call for help).
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!
Good to know that the absence of the 'CH-' prefix is how to tell if the channel is empty. Spent a lot of time in my younger days manually programming a Radio Shack police scanner which required you to select the channel first and then enter the frequency. The procedure on the Baofeng feels a little like wiping before you poop 🤣 Thanks for the help!
Great video, only had radio a few days, but figured this out last night and wanted to make sure i had done it right. Now just need to learn about dcs vs ctcs differences.
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” ??

How do you program a duplex frequency? Different receiver and transmit … thank you
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
So the repeater im trying to use just says FM DCS 26. My question is when you go into that setting T-DCS there is no 26. Just D026I. If thats just the why it is why not put D026I instead of just 26.
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.
Aside from some use of police scanners and CB radios, this is pretty new to me. Unless there's a rock solid way to set it up and lock it down to prevent accidental changes, I couldn't imagine handing these out to non-radio neighbors to use during a disaster.
I just got a pair for me and my girl when we go off roading i got the uv-5R first time with a walkie talkie i having some trouble how can i set them up to a channel or frequency that only me and my girl can talk to each other with out bothering other people kinda like a private channel if its possible i keep hearing other people i have it on 462-575 frequency and theres always other people talking when i have it on frequency mode or channel mode
My company radio sucks at work so I picked up a uv5rv2+ to communicate with co workers via radio and I’m having a hard time connecting to the other Motorola CP200 radius around my property, I have the frequencies but unable to transmit whatsoever and I guess we have a DPL? Any help on the situation would help dramatically!! Please help and thank you!
While I do not know the particular "7 number" you have in mind" which makes your comment difficult to follow, I do know that this radio can only accept numbers that start with 1, 4, or 5(ie. 146.520, 443.000, or some 500.000)
Somebody told me what RailFanning was about a year ago so I went to build a whole codeplug for exactly this! Would you be willing to email me so I could share it with you?
I just bought 2 baofeng bf b8 +111 I can't get the 2 radios to connect to use on uhf 462 frequency to talk to the other person on the 2nd radio, can anyone please help?
What seems to be the issue? Do the screens look identical? If they do, you could be trying the radios too close together and "desinsing" them. This is a consequence of having too much power too close on nearby frequency. They may actually be operating properly and your method of testing needs slight adjustment.
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 doing........ 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!
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.
Ok. So I can use DCS o 400mhz. Who uses it? My local police have gone digital. Can I scan, somehow, and listen in? Radio Reference tells me their frequency. How can I figure out their tone with my baofeng?
If they have "gone digital" I assume they are either on P25 or DMR/MotoTurbo. If this is the case, there is no possibility that this radio can interpret what traffic they are passing as this is an analog device. Don't be discouraged though! You still have an amazing tool you can learn to use in all sorts of way! Just the FM radio receiver is kick butt by itself!
Damn, wish I'd read your comment before I got a minute and a half into the video. Like watching a brain surgeon teach how to remove a tumor at warp speed. Voila! And now you know.🤣
In VFO mode I programmed the receive frequency and the correct offset, then when I memorized the channel that I had set uo in VFO mode I seem to have lost the offset. Where did I go wrong?
Aaaahhh. A problem as old as time with these radios. They have this weird quirk that they save what is actually shown on the screen. This TH-camr has only shown Simplex memory saving. You are trying to work Half Duplex if I understand properly. This is where turning on the voice is poppin! You will need to save the receiving memory(It will should say "receiving memory"), exit the menu, briefly press "*/SCAN" to "reverse the channel" then re enter the menu and save on the same slot(It should say "transmitting memory") This all of course assumes that you start with a fresh memory slot. Recall you can delete and try again!
is it possible to switch to CT or DCS even if you're in FRQ mode? for example, just scanning frequencies or for example, you're in a specific FRQ, you set to DCS or CT without saving to MEM
Im a noob. You have a high number on top and low number on bottom but mine im trying to setup has a high number on bottom and low number on top. Do i switch them around and if so how?
Top number is channel A. Bottom number is channel B. You can switch between them using the A/B button. The selected channel will be indicated by the arrows to the left of the frequency. The low number is VHF (Very High Frequency) and high number is UHF (Ultra High Frequency). You can switch between them using the Band button.
Every time I try to program a NOAA weather frequency ex: 162.400 when I press the last 0 it says “cancel” and reverts back to the previous frequency. How can I fix this?
You don't program it in Channel Mode. Channel Mode is for channels that have already been saved. When you commit a frequency and DCS to a memory channel, then in channel mode is where you get access that channel and it's settings (that you programmed in Frequency Mode).
Sadly, doesn’t work. A radio without the DCS/CT setup can still hear you transmit. You just can’t TX to them or RX from them. I’ve tried with 3 versions of the UV-5 and a Tidradio H8, doesn’t work on any of them.
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. Daly
could I use this radio to make an emergency distress call at sea and if so would it need to be set up for this or could this be done out of the box, tia

I just Wana set my call to te radio

Is this legal?
This helps to communicate with FRS walke talkie if u can hear them but can talk to them
huh?
not intended to teach..it's for people who already have and are familiar..but, thanks, anyway for a rapid lesson
Thank you!
too fast
To fast, slow down please.
I lost you at "I have a UV-5R."
Oh my God you went way too fast. I have no idea how to program a channel.
For god’s sake it’s pronounced “bow-fung” - not “bay-oh-fang”
I respect the origin,.. but I wrongly pronounce it as well "bow-f-eh-ng"
the "bay-oh-fang" is Americanized pronunciation
who cares?
I prefer to call it bay-oh-fang lol
I am sorry but you are not teaching how to program, all you do is talk. I was gonna buy this and it’s very difficult to program it and I thought that you gonna make it easy I have no idea how to program it now.
clear as mud
