Baofeng uv-5g won’t communicate with others


Guest Shane

Recommended Posts

This is a little weird. I have two Baofeng UV – 5G. And 2 Midland x talk gmrs radios. The Midland is set to. Channel 20 and the UV – 5G is set to the corresponding. Frequency which I think is 462.675. Anyway, the two Midlands will talk to each other and the Midlands will talk to the two UV- 5g but the two UV 5G will not communicate with each other, and will not communicate with the Midland. I don’t get it. Any ideas?

Someone mention about this issue when one radio is using wide band and the other narrow band check it out and let us know.

Wide/Narrow has nothing to do with it because that would not prevent them from transmitting/hearing each other.

The issue is he is trying to transmit in frequency/VFO mode, which you cannot do on UV-5G radios.. Assuming there are no incorrect tones, putting the radio in channel/MR mode and set the correct GMRS "channel" should make everything work.

Your baofengs might be locked from transmitting on gmrs

  • He already confirmed that the issue was resolved from a previous comment
  • The radio he specified, the UV-5G, is designed specifically TO transmit on GMRS.

Nice effort though .. I guess?

I like the post, and comments you post, I have learned a lot about GMRS from you do a great job, for the new GMRS operators, I have been the whole rout in radio, I started in radio as a CBer, I be came to Ham Radio operator, and now I add GMRS, To me its all about talking to new people, when ever thing goes South all radio will be needed. Thanks and keep up the great work, Randy.

My new UV-25 is not transmitting after a factory reset. Maybe it is locked from transmitting in GMRS? I don't know. Can you please give some advice about this?
