[GreenKeys] Baofeng UV5R

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

For anyone   that  gets a Baofeng - download the   chirp  program... this  
program   will program the 5r and  many other  brands.  
 
-import  your  radio
-get list    from repeater asoc site
-add it  and export to  radio
-you will have  more  channels than  you  will   even  be able to use!
 
of  course  you are  limited on some as the small  antenna   does not have 
that  good  of a reach.
but  phx metro is alive  with  freqs..

In the sparse little manual that came with mine it does not mention which  
fcc parts for which it has been certified.  The front cover has the fcc  and 
ce logos though, so it must be legal!


Apparently different vintages have different freq ranges depending on the  
(non-upgradable) firmware version.


Mine is only a month old, and I can rx/tx on:


136.000 to 174.995
400.000 to 520.995

I don't know about the Baofeng, but several of  the other brands have been 
through a FCC type certification process for use  on some of the public 
service bands.  I think it is  part 90  certified  I don't think it is part 95 
certified, but I may be  wrong on which parts they are certified on.
 
They are legal to use on the services they have  been certified for.  That 
is one of the selling points for some of the  other brands I have kept up 
with.
 
Ham radios have for a number of years been able  to operate out if the ham 
bands.  Sometimes without any  modification,and sometimes just by clipping a 
wire or diode.
They were not usually certified to be legal to  transmitt out of the ham 
bands.
 
To be legal for some services, the radio must  be programmed in certain 
ways.

I'm not sure of what you mean by the FCC comment. It is my  understanding 
the FCC sets the bands and prosecutes those who transmit on  frequencies for 
which they don't have a license. But to my knowledge the  FCC does not block 
the construction of any broadcast equipment, nor do  they block the sale of 
such equipment, based on its capabilities. Or do I  have it wrong?
