User questions & answers

Question:	I can only hit two where I live. Is the extra 3 watts going to gain any range
Answer:	ANTENNA ANTENNA ANTENNA The extra watts will do less to improve transmission and reception than a quality antenna. As others have said, to increase your signal strength at the receiving radio by one S unit you have to quadruple the power output. The difference between the UV-5R standard radio and the "8 watt" "high power" radios is only a doubling of power. If you are on the move use the Nagoya 771 antenna (and watch you don't poke out your eye). If you are stationary, a homebrew 2 meter dipole or the Ed Fong antenna will significantly improve your transmission and reception. Amateur Extra HAM instructor VP local HAM club
Question:	what kind of range can I expect
Answer:	With the included antenna, you will get about 10 kilometers on open area land. About 5 kilometers in suburban settings. In urban settings, aabout a kilometer or two. In a boat, a bit further than 10kilometers. With the Nagoya extended antenna, you can make 20 kilometers, more or less, on open ground. However, use an external antenna on the roof of a building and you can double that range! Power does increase range. But, antenna increases range far more than more power.
Question:	I am trying to receive frequencies in the 800mhz range but it will not allow me to enter
Answer:	You can program these for whatever frequencies you want by downloading CHIRP and modifying the radio drivers with a text editor... Then just change the frequency range to 900mhz or whatever you want... I would not suggest trying to transmit at those frequencies but people have had some success with receiving frequencies out of band that way... You may also want to try an RF downconverter if you would rather go the hardware way instead of the software way... More info at http://www.brickolore.com/2012/05/baofeng-uv-5r-extreme-receive.html
Question:	Which frequencies will I be required to become licensed for? How do I know which repeaters I might use and their associated membership fees? Thank you
Answer:	You cannot use this radio in any unlicensed frequency. It is not type accepted for any radio service and is therefore illegal to sell, advertise, market, or ship to anywhere in the US. It is probably legal to use in a Ham band if you have a ham license. Ham licenses come with some great benefits, such as being able to use un-aproved radios, it is well worth the effort to get one. BTW, I have two of these radios. They work about as well as a UV-5R, of which they are a derivative They just over-powered a 5 watt radio to make it spit out 8 watts. It gets you VERY little extra distance and the transmission is really really dirty. It blows all over the 2 meter bands. If you want to see what the FCC does to out of service marketing Google "FCC DA-18-980A1". This radio has no legal use in the US except on the ham bands by hams. It is very illegal to use for MURS and FRS, and not even OK for FMRS. It transmits so dirty it is pretty obvious to anyone with a good HR rig with a display or an FCC truck that you are using a BF-F8HP. It's got a rather unique signal signature. If you want a Baofeng get one of these. They are all certified part 90 which makes them legal to sell and ship, and no questions about using them for Ham use. And get a ham license, it really opens up your options.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will i be able to program frequencies using chirp software
Answer:	Sure, you can, CHIRP recognizes this model as BF-F8HP as the driver is the same.
Question:	Will this be sufficient to contact draw bridges while aboard our sailboat
Answer:	I think it will as long as they broadcast on UHF or VHF. It works in some state parks to contact the ranger stations. That is the best I can answer not 100% sure.
Question:	Can this unit be setup like a scanner and monitor police and fire band or frequencies
Answer:	It just depends on whether or not your Police/fire/EMS agency operates on the frequencies covered by this radio or not. Many do. Many have also moved over to digital systems. Near my house, the county Sheriff's dispatch and several fire/ems outfits do as well. In the neighboring county, they have moved to digital and I cannot monitor them with this radio. Because this radio covers a wide swath of amateur and professional VHF and UHF bands, you can probably pick up some area businesses, farms, municipalities, railroads, schools, utilities etc. Listings are available online.
Question:	How long does one battery last
Answer:	I've run them 16 hrs straight between charging in temps below 32 degrees.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can even the frs work on hp
Answer:	From page 63 of the UV-82HP manual available online. "You may be tempted to use FRS, GMRS, MURS (in the USA) or PMR446 (in Europe) frequencies. Do note however that there are restrictions on these bands that make this transceiver ILLEGAL for use" Don't follow the advice, based on personal opinions of those who know little about radio communications and even less about the law.
Question:	can alert tones from fire and ems be programed into this radio
Answer:	When fire and ems transmit they automatically send out a tone before they start talking. You can look up the RadioReference dot com website (click Databases) and it will give you the frequencies for fire and ems by state. Texas gives the tones before broadcasting the audio. I would assume the rest of the country does the same. It may be the law to broadcast tones, but not sure of other states. Try it and see. I use a UV-82hp and the tones are automatic.
Question:	Can you switch the backlight on and off manually? the automatic on/off drives me crazy(er
Answer:	Using CHIRP, you can extend the backlight time out.
Question:	Which would you recommend more, this uv-82hp or the bf-f8hp
Answer:	I own both. Offhand I prefer the feel of the UV-82HP. Same with the keypad The BF-F8HP feels "overstuffed". Advantage of the UV-82HP is the Dual PTT - Toggle up tor transmit on A and toggle down to transmit on B. Very nice for dual channel use Disadvantage of the UV-82HP - MUST reboot to change between channel and VFO mode. I don't do that much - but it's annoying. Menus pretty much the same. I have become the "radio man" for our Boy Scout Camporees - and the BF-F8HP has a very nice bulk charger available. One base 6 or 8 radios. For a "field deployment" one power and one base sure beats 6 to 8 bases, cables, power warts. For that more than anything I've been procuring more BF-F8HP and that's what the staff is familiar with. I sure wish there was a bulk charger base for the UV-82HP.

BaoFeng UV-82HP

The UV-82HP is the second generation of the classic UV-82 Series. Some new features found in the UV-82HP are the three selectable power levels (Low - 1 watt, Medium - 5 watt, High- 7/8 watt ) allowing for a high-output of up to eight watts.

What Makes it Unique?

It has 3 Power Levels (1, 5, 7/8 watt).

VFO/ MR (Frequency Mode) can be locked via software.

The Dual Push-to-Talk Switch can be synchronized via software to simplify operation of the radio.

A new 80 Page In-Depth User's Guide.

It includes the High Gain V-85 Antenna to Optimize Performance.

Full Accessory Compatibility with all UV-82 accessories.

Customize Your Operation With Channels, Programmable Buttons, And More.

You can program your UV-82HP exactly how you want it. There are 128 programmable memory channels. You can add or remove channels from scanning list using the free computer software. You can give channels alphanumeric names, using a computer. The radio has 3 power levels (8 watt maximum), allowing you to choose how far you can communicate.

Dual or Single Push-to-Talk Selectable

The UV-82 Series come with a dual push-to-talk button. The dual PTT allows you to transmit on two frequencies by the use of the rocker push-to-talk switch. By pressing 'up' you can transmit on 'Frequency A' and by pushing down you can transmit on 'Frequency B'.

Frequency A or B can also be used as a scanner of channels, frequencies, CTCSS and DTS tones.

Note: The BaoFeng UV-82HP allows you to synchronize the PTT button to re-enable a single Push-to-Talk switch. This simplifies the use for those who require only one frequency to talk on.

See the Full Comparison Chart

Click the image to zoom and compare the UV-82HP to other BaoFeng Models.

The UV-82HP is a major update to the previous UV-82 model with firmware, hardware, and even packing upgrades.

There are a variety of BaoFengs models in existence, but generally no differences exist. Some models are even re-manufactured units.

No matter the model number BaoFeng radios are based on one of these chipsets.

The UV-82HP is a upgrade from the UV-82 and UV-5R series with the addition of features, power levels, and the updated chipset revision that supports the High Power.

Versatile Radio

The UV-82HP also includes: External Accessory Compatibility, FM Radio, Flashlight, Emergency Alarm.

The UV-82HP has one built-in receiver but can 'watch' two channels/frequencies (semi duplex). The UV-82HP will monitor both frequencies giving priority to the first station to receive an incoming call.

The UV-82HP supports CTCSS, DCS, and DTMF calling methods. Tone calling (private line) is required by most repeater applications and the UV-82HP supports the latest standards.

The UV-82HP can send DTMF tones. This allows for sending ANI (Caller ID) or remote commands that require DTMF tones.

The UV-82HP is able to Transmit on Narrowband (12.5kHz) and Wideband (25kHz).

BaoFeng UV-82 Series Radio

The UV-82 series is BaoFeng's most commercialized radio series. Compared to the UV-5R and other previous series; the UV-82 radios come with a much louder speaker (1 watt), while other current BaoFeng radios use a 700mW speaker.

The UV-82 series radios also have a more solid case that employ larger buttons as well compared to the previous BaoFeng series. The UV-82HP uses the latest BaoFeng chipset and PCB board that outperforms the range, accuracy, and output of the previous BaoFeng chipsets.

It is not simply a remake but a new radio from the ground up.

User questions & answers

Question:	If I order this now, will I receive a new unit that does not have the bug where it has to be returned to Uniden to fix
Answer:	*IF* the seller returned his stock as they were instructed to, all current stock should be fixed. Only the seller would know that. You would have to contact them directly before purchase. I would *think* all the old stock with the bug has been sold by now, as everyone was sold out for a few weeks during the recall. Id think its safe now. Even if you got the old version, Uniden will swap it with a new unit, and give you a 3 year extended warranty for your trouble. Not to shabby. Since I see the seller answered already, just disregard my comments and grab one!
Question:	can you power this unit from the usb cable in the car
Answer:	The Unit cannot be powered from the USB cable the scanner comes with a cigarette lighter adapter and hardwire cable to connect to a car battery. You can use either one of those cables to power the unit but the USB cable is for data transfer only for this scanner.
Question:	i had read that all you have to do is put your zip code in and your good to go is that true or not
Answer:	Yes that is true but I also use program ARC536PRO to help me monitor what I receive. This receiver is great. The Zip code is all you need to get started. I learned a lot from YouTube video's. Have fun :-)
Question:	Has Uniden fixed the WiFi dongle or Add the siren app yet? It has been a year since this thing came to market and still no updates
Answer:	I purchased the BCD536HP scanner and the BC-GPSK antenna. From my view point this is nothing but a big fat lie from Dan M.This App was a MAJOR selling point of this unit; the scanner even comes with the Wi-Fi dongle; the package even shows the Wi-Fi dongle on it!It's been over a year? REALLY?!? .....REALLY?!?!I would recommend no one buy ANYTHING from Uniden until they keep their promise on the MOST expensive scanner system they have ever sold. I know I'm over $600 into it and it still isn't complete.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this one a 5 watt or 8 watt ham radio
Answer:	The Tenway that I received is able to transmit low/med/high power and is supposed to be 8watts on high. I don’t have the equipment to test it but did verify there are 3 transmit options. Based on that I believe it is the 8 watt version when in high. Hope this helps. Radio works well so far.
Question:	do I need a license to operate this radio
Answer:	No license required to listen but any transmissions on frequencies other than FRS require a license. This radio can be programmed for FRS.

Question:	Can the programming be done on an Apple Mac
Answer:	Yes it can and it's relatively straightforward IF you have the right cable.You need CHIRP http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download (get the latest daily build) and then you need this cable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUB0ONK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The beauty of this particular cable is zero drivers are needed, the Mac (at least Yosemite) automatically recognizes it. I wrote about my experience on this at my blog: https://chris.gonyea.com/2015/03/setting-up-a-baofeng-uv-5r-2-chrip-on-my-mac/
Question:	Can I get basic NOAA Weather stations on this everywhere (or, everywhere 'within reason
Answer:	Yes. NOAA uses 7 frequencies from 162.400 to 162.550 MHz. You can check the National Weather Service website at for specific frequencies used in your area. There are over 1000 stations, covering all 50 states. Most NOAA stations operate with fairly high power, some with as much as 1000 watts, so they should be very easy to hear.
Question:	If you transmitt with this unit how can effected partys trace to the source
Answer:	Bottom line is this: If you can put out an RF signal you can be found. Yes many variables go into finding the source and they can find moving signals also. Tens of Thousands of hams and or T-Hunters or Transmitter Hunters are around the globe. If you screw around with the HAM bands you will get caught.Get your Ham license it's easy and enjoy the hobby.
Question:	Can this be used as a FRS 2-way radio
Answer:	Reasons this makes a good "walkie talkie" (even though it is a HT - Handy Talkie 1) Removable antenna - can upgrade your antenna for your specific needs/significant improvement to performance 2) Can program the channels - not just FRS/GMRS channels 2a) Can set adjust power levels to more legal levels 2b) Can program NOAA freqs giving more value 2c) Can use/listen MURS (Multi Use Radio Service) - license free but kinda like GMRS 2d) Can set channels to receive only so nobody transmits channels they should not (NOAA) 2e) Can listen to school bus drivers, some fire departments and anybody else who uses radio (see 2d) 3) Can get test free GMRS license to legally use GMRS at full handheld power 4) Can get you a HAM license (technician class) and program Amateur UHF/VHF channels - impress your friends and ladies at bars 5) Can monitor two channels at once 6) Lots off menu options - customizable 7) Will learn about radios, "bands", frequencies and other cool stuff 8) Has more power than most walkie talkies - i.e. better range - especially if you upgrade the antenna Reasons this DOES NOT makes a good "walkie talkie": 1) To program you need to purchase the programming cable and to download CHIRP (freeware). Of course only one cable is needs for all the radios 2) Have to read instructions, try stuff on computer/radio and have it not work and you need to figure out why and maybe a youtube video or two.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this radio have a programming cable included
Answer:	No cable included
Question:	What is the range for this radio
Answer:	Range for ANY transceiver is something that depends on a number of things. Power, line-of-sight, weather conditions, solar cycles, antenna gain (or loss) are just a few of the things that influence distance of communications. I've had a three of these radios (so far) and the best thing you can do to improve this radio's range is to replace the provided antennas with one tri-band antenna. I've tried both the Diamond and the Nagoya and found the Nogoya to be the best for this particular radio. The Nogoya NA-320A is available from Amazon for about $34. Apparently, the coronavirus is driving the price up for this antenna (due to it being imported from China?) because I gave about half that amount when I bought mine in January 2020. I'd bet the cost will drop back down once international imports start back up. ALSO, be HIGHLY advised that this radio is complicated AT BEST to program from the keypad. It's way better to buy the programming cable from Baofeng. There are many low priced cables out there starting at about $12. DO NOT BUY THESE. Use ONLY the cable recommended by Baotech, the BTECH PC03 FTDI. Most others will have driver incompatibilities and will result in much less that satisfactory results. The BTECH PC03 FTDI programming cable was from Amazon for approximately $20 but I see it's now unavailable from Amazon, probably due to it being manufactured in China as well. All in all though, I DO recommend this radio to those people interested in getting into ham radio. It's a good starter radio to at least get you on air and to see if you like the hobby before you spend $100s or more on hardware. Good Luck!
Question:	Does this radio have the option to sync the 2 lines of display, so that once it is programmed you can switch channels and you will also see the label
Answer:	Mine does not. I have bought two of these in recent months and neither of them have the feature you describe. One of the factory supplied manuals of the two radios said it DID have the feature but again, it does not. There are Baofeng models that do have this feature but unfortunately, it appears its luck-of-the-draw that you'll get one that does. Additionally, the Baofeng website is NO HELP on this matter as Baofeng chooses to not support the website like other bigger manufacturers do. The GOOD news is that for the price, this little radio is packed with features that rival other manufacturers' models that costs up to ten times as much. All in all, you get way more for the money with this brand than most other manufacturers. This is not to say that all other manufacturers are ripping off the amateur radio operator, because they offer no only a quality radio but they also offer WAAAAY better technical support than Baofeng can, hence the increased cost. So treating Baofeng for what is, you cannot go wrong buying one if for no other reason, just to see if you like the Ham hobby enough to invest real money in it. Treat it as such and you won't go wrong.
Question:	Can this radio be programmed with chirp
Answer:	Yes it can. However, you have to be sure to choose the Radioddity UV-5RX3 from the vendor/radio selection when you go to clone from the radio. It will clone from the radio with the Baofeng UV-5R, but you won't be able to program anything on the 222* frequencies as Chirp will think it's not a tri-band radio.

• 128 Channels:With display function menu user can setting the radio by keypad quickly, Also can use program software setting by computer.
• Baofeng Programming Cable: Works with Windows Operation System,you can program your Ham portable radio using this durable programming cable!

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the antenna connection called
Answer:	If I recall right it is SMA connector.
Question:	Can you select and scan specific frequencies
Answer:	I have not had the radio long. The instruction manual was not very helpful. I do know that you can select frequency mode and manually enter the frequencies you want to monitor.
Question:	When i use the hand mic, when i press the key on the mic, my radio switches from channel 1 to channel 2. do you know why? how would i stop it
Answer:	The keypad has an upper and lower selector. This allows for quickly accessing different channels. Just need to form muscle memory for which side of the key does which channel bank.
Question:	Is the hp model worth the extra money
Answer:	Yes the 8 watt output is worth it. Gives the extra little oomph to hit repeaters and friends through thick woods.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this an authentic abbree antenna and baofeng extended battery set
Answer:	Yes. The antenna and battery are legit. At work I've got about a mile of range with it folded. And the battery lasts a few days before I need to recharge.
Question:	Do these come ready to use or need to be programmed first
Answer:	They need to be programmed, but it's fairly easy to do. I did it manually. Takes a bit of getting used to, but not bad. I understand you can also buy a cable to program it with chirp?? but I haven't tried it yet.
Question:	Can this be used as a ham radio? Or is that a different baofeng uvr
Answer:	Yes...this IS a ham radio but can be programmed with the gmrs frequencies that are allowable to the public without a license.
Question:	Why do these radios need AAA batteries
Answer:	That other answer is hilarious. I would venture to say it is to store the channels you program into the radio when the main battery goes out.

User questions & answers

Question:	How large of a metal ground plane (diameter of a metal disc) do I need to provide for a non-metal mounting on my Corvette (composite panels
Answer:	I would say at least 6 inches. Seems to work good for me
Question:	Will the 15w version still be able to operate at 5w for the frs channels
Answer:	If you operate a radio that has been approved for both FRS and GMRS, and if you limit your operations to the FRS channels with a maximum power of ½ watt effective radiated power and an integral antenna, you are not required to have a license. (Note that some dual-service radios transmit with higher power on FRS channels 1 through 7; these radios can be used without a license only on FRS channels 8 through 14.)
Question:	Do you need a license to use this
Answer:	Yes. A GMRS license is required to transmit on this radio. It is $70 for a 10 year license. You need to purchase from FCC. This is not a HAM radio so a HAM license will not work.
Question:	Is this a CB
Answer:	No, it’s a 2-way radio that utilizes a different frequency band than C.B.’s. These are GMRS radios which by law you are supposed to have a license from the FCC to operate. The license is not hard to get. It’s a 10 year license for you and your immediate family that cost $70. Which averages out to $7 dollars a year. There is no test, you just go on line and register then submit your fee. I did mine on a Saturday night and it was approved on Monday.
