I purchased a BAOFENG UV-5G GMRS Radio to upgrade from a FRS radio.
Through other sources, I was led to believe that I could still talk FRS frequencies to groups still dedicated to FRS radios.
While matching FRS frequencies was not an issue, I am unable to tune into FRS privacy channels, (sidebands).
Example, FRS channel 7.11
I could talk on FRS channel 7 (462.71250) but was unable to tune into a x.11 privacy channel.
I really like the UV-5G for other, various reasons but will not keep them if I can not tune into FRS privacy channels.
Does anyone have a method to accomplish what I need done here?
Thanks!
