Re: UV-25 manual programming
The easiest way is to just buy RT-Systems software and cable for 45 bucks. They have it for the uv5r Michael Kimsey

UV-25 manual programming
Robin KK7MSN
We all know the manuals for Baofeng are difficult to understand.
I have yet to be able to download the .img file from the radio using Chirp on linux. So, I thought I would manually program a channel for the local repeater. Yeah, right. Trying to make sense of the manual is pretty frustrating. There are a number of sites for the UV-5R, but I don't know if the menus are the same for both models. Can anyone shed some light on this? I would be grateful.

Re: Tassie Devil Radio Case: A Compact Win for My Portable Setup
All well and good except two issues.? 1. Where is Super Cheap Auto?? It must be a local irvregional chain, I've never heard of them.
2. If they were on clearance, can they be had from the manufacturer?? If not, how would anyone else obtain one?

Tassie Devil Radio Case: A Compact Win for My Portable Setup
Paul Blundell
?
I have recently come across this tool case at Super Cheap Auto, it might be worth checking out as a good solution for carrying and storing handheld radios. https://uhfbandmonitoring.blogspot.com/2024/10/tassie-devil-radio-case-compact-win-for.html |

Re: Baofeng M-5R
Hi, Donald,

I think that Western Europeans use FM band limits comparable to ours and that Japan and Eastern Europe use the lower frequency range. I haven't checked this recently, but I think that's the case. With respect to the technical specs, the unit is advertised at the website where I bought it as receiving on 220-260 MHz but is advertised as transmitting only on 2m and 70cm. The unit I have, however, does both transmit and receive on 1.25m and the manual shows transmit and receive on all three bands. The manual shows transmit power as follows: High 5W(VHF) 4W(UHF) Low 2W And the manual (for the UV-5RX Series) does specify that the unit will transmit on 220-260 MHz. It accesses repeaters that I use on all three bands, so I would guess that those power outputs (high) are about right. 73, Maynard W6PAP On 10/1/24 17:19, Donald Hellen wrote:

Re: Baofeng M-5R
Maynard,
Is the 65-75 MHz or the 76 to about 88 MHz sections the FM broadcast allocation for European radio stations? I know in the US we sometimes use somewhere around 76 MHz for a private FM link for small assemblies for the hard of hearing or others who can benefit from a direct sound feed.

Baofeng M-5R
I just bought a Baofeng M-5R. I didn't need another HT, but this one features the aviation band as well as FM radio, 2m, and 70 cm.
It came with an owner's manual titled "UV-5RX Series." I already have a few other Baofengs, so I got this one up and running without delay and the aviation band receiver (AM) seems to work well. One error in the manual (or maybe just a difference between models) is that changing the FM Radio band from 65-75 MHz to 76-108 MHz is stated to be accomplished using the A/B key. But the change is actually made using the BAND key. 73, Maynard W6PAP |

Re: TIDRADIO
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe two are not mutually exclusive.? You can do both!? I do.? I have made a few satellite QSOs using just an HT and a rubber duck antenna, but improving your antenna will really help on the satellites (same for HF as well).? Many satellite ops using an HT use an Arrow or Elk dualband antenna they can hold in their hand.? You can aim it at the satellite and elevate it as necessary, and rotate it to adjust for polarity changes.? I am not this sophisticated.?? I have made lots of FM and SSB satellite QSOs using a small dualband yagi mounted on a roof tripod.? My current antenna is a Jetstream JTM-270 with 3 elements on 2m and 5 elements on 70cm, with a 3 foot boom.? When roving I use a dualband mag mount antenna, around 16 inches tall or so.? I get good results with it also, both on the FM satellites as well as RS-44 and some of the other LEO satellites. Right now I am just using a Yaesu FT7800 so I am limited to FM satellites.? Your rig needs to be able to operate crossband, where you transmit on 2m and receive on 70cm, or vice versa.? Almost all Japanese 2m/70cm radios allow for this.? You will most likely have to program memories with this setup.? Many of the Chinese dualband radios will allow for crossband memories, but you may have to use CHIRP or something similar to program the memories.? Most Chinese HTs will allow you to program crossband memories right from the keypad.? They generally don't have a memory tuning feature, so you have to program several memories for the same satellite to account for doppler shift on receive, where the receive frequency changes due to the satellites movement through space.? I had to do this on my Baofeng 5RM Plus, and a TIDRADIO H8 I had before. Most Japanese radios do allow for memory tuning, my FT7800 does, which makes it simpler.?? You can get a HF/VHF/UHF radio like the Icom 706MKIIG, Yaesu FT100D, Yaesu FT857, Yaesu FT897 or Icom 7000 and do both HF and the satellites with the same radio, and get on 2m SSB and 70cm SSB as well! Lots out there to play with! 73 John AF5CC Sent using Zoho Mail ---- On Mon, 30 Sep 2024 11:57:58 -0500 Donald Hellen <donhellen@...> wrote ---

The real fun, in my opinion, is on the HF bands. I don't mean to minimize what you can do on 2 meters and above, as there's plenty to get involved with. But HF lets you talk around the world, and I find that more interesting than satellite and ISS communication. That's my opinion, of course. Plenty of people don't upgrade from technician and are active in amateur radio. But what we've found locally in our area is that people take and pass the technician test, then get a Baofeng HT, and after using the local repeaters give up and we never hear from them again. Few seem to stay active unless they upgrade to general, where they can use the HF bands, and it seems that's where most of the enjoyment is.

I haven't gotten to that yet. sounds interesting.This might provide a little introduction to using your radio to communicate through satellites or perhaps one of the astronauts the ISS (at least one always has an amateur radio license). I do not have experience with this, so you will want to do more research on how it's done, what to expect, what you will need to make or buy, etc. You don't need lots of fancy or expensive equipment, but you can go that route eventually if you really like that facet of ham radio. One ham who visits the Belpre, OH hamfest each year (the Buffalo 10 Meter Group runs the hamfest) has a demonstration of it, with dual-rotator (azimuth and elevation) dual antennas that automatically tracks the satellite or ISS across the sky so you can concentrate on the communication part of it instead of trying to keep your antenna array aimed correctly with your arm. If you decide you like VHF and UHF communication, some use the Icom IC-9700 with a portable power supply and a strap to hold it in front of the operator's chest, and the person aims the array with his arm. It works fairly well. I have a friend who went the expensive route and bought a Kenwood TS-2000 (?) and the dual antenna rotators, computer, etc. He hasn't used the equipment yet to communicate with satellites yet but I'm sure he'll love the setup when he does.
