I just bought two Baofang GM-15 Pro radios and have been trying to program at least one repeater channel and have not been able to do so. The manual leaves a lot to be desired on instructions which are poorly written.
There are features on these radios which are not covered in the manual such as DIY (?) channels. Or how to change the power out from Low to High Watts at the appropriate freqs.
I found out how to do this by chance.
When it comes into entering a new freq to program a reapeater Chanel there is no menu listed in the menu for the input of a New Memory freq, "enter these two numbers in the menu " which is the only way to enter new data and the wrong menu pops up....worse yet you do get the correct menu item and enter lets say, the offset freq, and the radio says "denied "
Never have I seen instructions so poorly written for step by step input of data into a radio. I had three other friends try on a Zoom meeting to help program these radios and we as a group could not get the radios to accept all the data needed to program one reaper.
I ordered a programming cable with the correct chip in it and I'm hoping I can use these radios in the field soon.
