Calm down Queenie. I was trying to get him to understand it's not "dual on both". Sounded like by both bands he may also be thinking of bands A and B as the two frequency bands in VFO mode, rather than Line A and B.

Which to a normal person, using normal ears, appears to be "listening to two channels at the same time"... Next you going to explain to us how "movies don't really move"? Geezusphuckingkrist "some people" are insufferable..

Sounds like you're misunderstanding. There is no "dual monitoring on both bands". It alternates automatically between checking Display A and Display B. It only receives on one or the other at one time. And the dual watch setting is called TDR on the UV5R function menu.

No wait! the earth is flat...google that S@#t

Seriously? Radio jail? How would you be 'punked' in there? People walk away so you cant hear them? Do they just now respond to conversation? Step behind an object to not engage? Would your prison number be your callsign you didn't use? Would you have to make up a crazy story to be accepted, like a renegade repeater of something...LOL

He's the only one in most of the videos.

Music is math is music. At some colleges, some music classes are accepted as required math credits. My wife's best friend got out of several math classes via that route.

He's the star of the video!

Lucky Sears is everywhere. Seems like it is always hard to find Homer Atkins. I have a friend who is half Chinese and half Hungarian/American. Her parents were very clever, her Chinese names are her middle names and are the same as her English language name framed around the Chinese.

A friend with a doctorate in industrial psychology once told me that aptitudes for math correspond with aptitudes for music.

Thank you!

Yes, dual monitoring on both bands, A and B.

Thank @OffRoaderX, he made the video.

Thanks for the you tube that helps a bunch!! WSEU 498 Fatrat56

YouTube, look for videos from the Notarubicon channel. One specifically describes configuring a radio for a repeater.

My radio is unlocked so it will work on a repeater? Where can I find how?

IF it is not "locked", then, YES. IF it is 'locked', then, NO. So the actual answer is: It Depends TL;dr: Maybe

Mine can, but it’s an older model.

can a baofang uv 5 r be programmed to talk on a gmsr repeaters?

That's true, the FCC just kind of let it slide into history with zero notice... which kinda stinks for people who knew it as the de-facto operation since the `60s.

The point is, "some people" are out there, right now, spreading lies and misinformation on the online forums, videos, etc, claiming that the FCC will actively go after you, track your location, fine, you, or even jail you for using a radio/repeater on GMRS that is not Part 95E approved. We must stop the lies.

Yes.

By "dual receive" do you mean capable of listening to two frequencies at the same time? What Baofeng calls "dual monitoring"? If so, then yes, the UV-5r can do it and according to its advertising the UV-18 can too. If we're splitting hairs, the Baofengs don't actually listen to two channels at the same time; they flip rapidly back and forth between them, but for most people's purposes, it's close enough.

And why would they? They have their hands more than full trying to rein in people who are creating genuine problems. I don't know if it's ever happened, but I could imagine it being added onto the list of charges if they had to hunt someone down for being a troublemaker. As I always say, be polite and things will probably be fine...but be capable of "action" in case someone doesn't respond to politeness.

I thought that, but I just wondered if anyone thinks they should be.
