I need a? UV82 that won't transmit.
My 3 year old grandson likes to play with my UV-82. He has already learned to kerchunk a local repeater, make the flashlight blink, and turn on FM broadcasts I am looking for one where the? flashlight, and the FM broadcast function works, but it wont transmit. Dan AI8O |

If you are using CHIRP, in the settings section, there is a pair of settings to enable VHF tx and UHF tx. If you also disable the reset option, I believe that should make the radio "safe". Of course, carefully check the radio(keeping in mind that Baofeng firmware can vary, so YMMV). If you are using the Baofeng s/w instead of CHIRP, then maybe the same functions are available.

I figured that you were going to buy a separate radio for him. If you want to use a single radio, then this becomes a bit more difficult. On Wed, Sep 8, 2021 at 12:58 AM AI8O <Spam@...> wrote: I just want to give? him a unit he can fiddle with safely. |

Get him a used FRS radio. Even one that works wouldn¡¯t interfere with anyone.
