I have gone into the "ABR" setting under menu and found that there was a setting for on I found that it used up a lot of power, right now I have it set to 20 seconds and then the screen shuts down, I'm a faithful follower of yours, offroaderx, and I purchased it after the video I saw between it and the TD radio that was being compared, the only thing I can say that I don't really care for is the screen issue, like the weight and size, power is good too.

Have just recently picked up a new UV-5g plus, looking for others who have the same, something doesn't seem right, when I turn the radio on I see the frequencies and the back how after a few seconds the backlight disappears and the frequencies as well and are not seen again until one of the frequencies becomes active then after a few seconds they disappear again, is this a total LCD screen where it needs to be lit all the time in order to see the frequencies, I've found the "ABR" setting that allows to do so, thought the screen would be similar that of the smaller UV-5g where when the backlight goes out the frequencies are still visible, anyone have similar issue

I want to thank you guys for your assistance, you were right, a little bit of persistence paid off tonight, was picked up by a gentleman approx.. 40 miles away as the crow fly's, speaking to me from his residence which is on a mountain side, in his home he picked up my transmission stating I was coming in nice and clear; his transmission reached me very good as well. Thanks again guys...

As the crow flys I,m not even an 1/8th of a mile from the repeater which sits at the top of the mountain, I'm about halfway down the road, had the radio on the repeater programmed channel just about all day yesterday didn't hear a soul, did hear the morse code beeps every so often

yes to the kerchunk/click/static sound back, is it possible the mike is messed up not getting my voice out but still able to trip the repeater, I loaded up a bunch of emergency frequencies for scanning the way you had shown in your videos, yes, you might say I'm a fan, the scanning channels I loaded are working great, just want to make sure people can hear me also want to make sure I didn't get a dud (lemon), I know it's only 25.00, just want to make sure it works right, I have found that I can't do a busy channel lockout either by input on the key pad or through chirp so I have my mind thinking there could be other issues

I picked one up through Amazon a was delivered yesterday, got it all programed right but still don't know if it's working the way it should, receiving freqs I put in to scan and I appear to it a local repeater because I get the open carrier after transmitting but I have yet anyone to answer my requests for a radio check.

Have acquired a new baofeng uv5r gmrs model, have programed it right I think, getting a return response from local repeater, when I transmit I appear to get the open carrier response but have yet received a person to person response to see if radio is working properly.
