axorlov Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Yes, it's certified for 95E. But devil is in the details. It is certified with 9KHz spectrum, LOL! They cannot find a few good radios from production that would pass with 11KHz! Narrow-narrow band for you here. Your regular Bu Yao Feng fascion.

mrevilfx Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 I just order my first (well, second) GMRS radios. A pair of Baofeng UV-5X GMRS radios. I am trying to find out if the firmware version on the radios is the latest, or is fairly usable. That is, it doesn't have the bugs that came with the first version of firmware such as pre-programmed privacy tones on each channel, etc. The radio identifies as a Radioddity UV-5G using the CHIRP software for Linux (Ubuntu). The radio looks exactly like a UV-5R, but the little label on the bottom says "UV-5X" By pressing #3 on the keypad and turning the radio on, the firmware version is displayed. "P51UV01". Does anyone know if Baofeng or Radioddity publish release notes and firmware versions on their websites for the UV-5X or UV-5G. I have not been able to locate any more detailed info other than their programming software (for Windows) and manuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they come without any Tones preprogramed into the Channels and you can program tones from the keypad, you have the latest firmware mrevilfx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I have came with the old firmware and I updated them when the new firmware update was provided. When I turn them on as described, I also see P51UV01 on the display. I don't know what it showed originally. mrevilfx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
