WRUE951

i ordered one last night off Baofeng.com Also ordered the new DM32.

FYI - one of my friends just purchased a UV5R off the Baofeng web site and out of the box it was programable to 520.. And he got the radio in 5 days delivered to my town https://www.baofengradio.com/collections/online-store/products/uv-5r. I ordered a UV-28Plus from them last night, they show delivery for Monday.

try playing around with your squelch sensitivity setting.

i've noticed, when i have the repeater set with a PL, that i can open my repeater sometimes with a HT programed with no PL tones when in very close proximity to the repeater . . And it doesn't always happen.. I have also listened to other repeaters with PL's where someone talking on it claim they are operating with no PL's. So yea, good point but i don't know??? Possibly the sensitivity of his squelch?

Sounds like you are picking up digital transmissions from nearby source. I.e.: DMR Activity: You might be hearing Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) signals, which sound like a buzz or "machine gun" noise on an analog radio. Other Digital Signals: There are various other digital radio signals that can bleed over or interfere with GMRS frequencies and could be generated from nearby public safety digital radios. I.e police dept. Utility Use: Some digital signals are telemetry data or other utility uses that might be operating on or near GMRS frequencie you might want to invest in a Tiny Spectrum Analyzer which will help you with frequency and pinpoint the source. Lots of you tube videos out there for Tiny Spectrum Analyzer

I agree.. I lost mine last year. Left it in my kayak and it disappeared somewhere on the highway. It was a 3 year old radio. I don't recall able to custom the screen though.. Did they add that option from the original. I think my screen was not as big as this one..

I live in a small desert community with basically zero crime.. Whenever someone does something stupid and gets arrested, which is seldom, the local town makes it sound like we are biggest crime ridden community in the country.. I've lived in L.A. and Sacramento, people need to get a lesson

I've noticed some weird things going on here too. The last update he sent out was directing to the wrong repeater accounts when you taged on a specific account.. Ii.e. f you taged on a repeater in Ohio, it was directing to an a repeater in New York. Weird things like that????

i lost a Windows 10 motherboard two years ago doing a BiOS (firmware) update.. In the middle of the update, my wife's office heater flipped the breaker. It killed the MB. Because i had lots of software (Auto Cad, Solidworks, Cura etc. i got desperate and contacted Asus. At almost the cost of buying a new MB they were able to recover it by replaceing some EPROMS.

the UV 21 uses the USB charge option so its not the same battery as UV5. The BFH6 looks like a Uv5 and not sure what the difference is between them. It's not a bad radio, been playing around with it for a few days and i like it.

yes... Apparently a UV21 is an upgrade to the UV5 and this seller is saying that radio XTMTS out to 520... He is selling for $34.

The 880-1 are nice radios.. I have two and they'll never leave my sight

gotcha ,, thought this was HT

getting that hot, i would suspect something gone wrong with the battery.. i.e. a short ..

I think you are confused with display symbols on your radio. Pull your manual and become familiar with them so you know what they represent. Unless you are on a trunked system, your radio will have no way to detect presence of a repeater while in idle mode. GMRS radios do not operate in Trunk.
