You may need to refer to the manual for this, but some radios have a weather
channel monitor for NOAA weather radio stations. In my Icom 5100, for example,
many people set their local WX channel up and set it to monitor the frequency
for WX alerts. This stops audio while it checks for an alert, then returns to
the frequency you've been listening to.

This might be the case here, but I don't have the radio. See if there's a
monitor function that needs to be set to off. I don't see a WX monitor function,
but look at page 17 in the manual:



look under TDR (dual watch/dual reception)

It allows the radio to periodically check to see if it's receiving a signal on
another frequency.

Make sure that's off. Menu items are described on pages 14 and 15.

If that doesn't help, perhaps someone who has the same radio can help.

Baofeng advertises this as a 15W radio. It isn't. R&L tested it at about 8W.
Apparently, in China, you add up the wattage for each band and total it. Anyway,
this is a good price for an 8W radio.

Remove the antenna

Since he appears to be somewhere in Europe (Italy?), there may be a different
company over there that rebuilds battery packs.

I'd search for these words:

rebuild battery pack

and see what results come in. Maybe add the make and model to the search.

thanks guys for you answers!
I will carefully check all links as it seems that a new battery costs more that what I spent 5 years ago for the radio! :-))

That's a great price, especially with shipping included.

It will probably be new, old stock.

You may need to rebuild the pack yourself or send it out to have it rebuilt for
you. I don't know offhand a particular place but you can ask in the
amateur-repairs group since this sort of thing has come up in the past.

KK4IXE, I have been using voice for over a decade. Recently found an interest in using APRS and hope to use it over my Baeofeng coupled to my iPhone. I intend to receive weather and emergency updates and communicate over SMS to my wife while doing fieldwork in wooded areas. Can anyone offer guidance here??

Respectfully
Terry

Thanks for letting me know.
Went into my profile and took care of it.

(Please use your name at the end of your post so we know who you are.)

That's a good price for an entry-level HT radio.

I have one and like it. It's not built as well as my Anytone HT, and doesn't
have as much power output, but you can't beat the price.

A version of the UV-5R called the GT-5R has come out on Amazon that apparently is made with a bit more QC. Identical looks. It is touted that it is "legal" and won't bleed into the rest of the RF environment. Costs about $30.

I just found a sample codeplug here.


This should do the trick.
