Nice video, thank you!

looking at this for my first GMRS radio. Trying to lean about repeaters as well.

One thing that do not address in the manual is the side plug which is not a K1, maybe an M1 plug.

Can remote out pc & help us set up correctly

I’m trying to set it for the railroad, but it’s really confusing but I found that if you hit *, it says “SCANQT” I don’t know if this means it’s scanning or not but I’m in frequency mode when I do this

Hi is it possible to connect with Midland GXT1000?

There is a reason they are so cheap. It's because they are junk.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I could not figure out why that "R'" kept coming up on my tone codes, but I knew that it couldn't be good. And thanks to your skill set, mine is now getting into repeaters. You're the best!!!

For the 15% of people that are Mac based, this was only marginally helpful. But thank you for your otherwise great presentation style. The ding is not your fault....you rightfully focused on the Yaesu provided software which apparentlty only works with a PC. The radio manufacturers are ignoring 1/6 of the market. Kind of like ignoring left hand dominant people..but I guess that is a "thing" also.

If I would have known this wireless mic or a k1 adapter was my only option, I wouldnt have bought the Gmrs Pro.

Thanks for being precise and not detracting from the message by trying to be witty. Very helpful! KG5RVR

What is the band button used for? Mine doesn’t to do anything when I press other then say search but nothing happens

If you go into CHIRP and select Baofeng / BFT20FRS you can change power to high and band setting to wide on the regular 22 GMRS channels. The repeater channels don't show up, but at least you can work with the regular 22 GMRS channels.

This radio will do me just fine. Hopefully I can import it here in Canada past the Turdo Lieberal Gestapo Regime. I live far enough up north that there wouldn't be any radio monitoring anyway. Its on my to get list. Great video. Stay safe and vigilant.

If the channel you are trying to save into already has data stored, you have to go to menu 14 and delete it first.

I did the mod the mod then put it back. I can still transmitte on cb frequencies. Is this normal?

Wire that up to your car.. running… you will get 52-54 watts

Well sadly its locked down fairly hard. (Well i know why it is but still) my old uv5 isnt locked and kind of now more usefull than the uv25.

power tests would be higher if the battery was fully charged...

Can it save data to a memory card?

Thanks!! 73 PA3CRL

Nicely made video! You show a stable image, well lit and nicely, calmly commented. I really like your style! Greetings from Belgium.

I have the new Yaesu FTM 150R aspe I got the cable and software from RT Systems for Programming it. But as for the S-Dx ASP I don't like it because it's bringing in unwanted signals it sounds like a CB Radio on SSB but when the channel is clear and you have someone that you're talking to you can use it to listen to them and it sounds like great but with no one talking you can hear noises in the background so I leave it off till I am talking to someone on a repeater. But it does have a loud front facing speaker when you use a separation cable to mount it like you would the ft-891 for mobile. 73 K4BWN

I have and currently use a Yaesu FT DX 1200 as my everyday radio. This radio may be 5+ years old but its one of the best HF rigs I have ever had. The receiver in the 1200 is phenomenal for a non SDR transceiver. I want to get the Yaesu FT 710, however that means I'll be selling the 1200. These things are like cars, usually when you want a new HF rig you trade the old one for a one. 73 great video 👍

Doesn't the radios plug into the wall?

I have a few of these new K6 radios & I can NOT get them to scan memory channels, they will only scan in VFO mode which is about worthless to me because I bought a tiny Spectrum Analyzer for that & its perfect for that.

Any idea on a MARS Mod?

What is the purpose or benefits of chirp?

Thank you for stating how long the antenna was. It's information that's missing from his website.

Beta 7-11 caused my radio to not generate transmit tones for aprs or radio mail. Annoying. Was working great prior to that.

I unlocked something and it now transmits on HAM frequencies.😮

I have the FT-2980 and love it....Can you tell me how to delete a Memory Channel? I have made a couple of mistakes when I was learning how to program it into a repeater and made a few mistakes and have also duplicated a couple of entries so I would like to clean up my mistakes. Thanks.

This video was perfect for me as I have the same exact set up.

Radioddty UV-5X with CHIRP to program will allow multiple repeaters channels

Greetings from The Great White North! Pretty cool, thank you so much for taking the time to post...while some may consider a six-year-old video ancient history, I gotta tell ya, yours was as relevant and helpful as it if it were posted yesterday....AND, it was well done, concise, and absent of blather and nonsense. These radios are still available and near as I've been able to suss out, they are still as good or better than many newer offerings. Your video answered a whole lot of questions I had and have convinced me to take advantage of the last day of a Black Friday sale and get one...just a bit different from my original tube type from the '70s.... Thanks again, stay well 73s VE7BZZ

Please, I need your help. It is advertised as being repeater-capable. It goes up to channel 22, and I cannot get above 22. Do the remaining 8 channels need some customization?

I'm in the UK I can't have a pea shooter let alone one of these Bad Boys. Referring to the Glock 23 as a Bad Boy might be one reason I should not be allowed to handle one.

Fantastic I purchased FT 2DR yesterday and now have this video in my browser favorites for reference. Great simple clear tutorial.

The internal battery is most likely the limiting factor as to the reduced wattage output. I strongly suspect that if you feed the required DC input to the HT, you will get the full rated output. 73 OM

Great review of the radio thanks Craig 73

Anyone tell me what is the distance between units, without a repeater?

Is this a cb or just a ham radio

Hello I have purchased a Baofeng Uv25 radio and the radio does not transmit but I can hear the receiving transmit when that are talking. They just can not hear me.

thank you for doing this video sure helped me tonight

I see 50w & 5w mentioned, yet there was a MED power setting - just what does that setting yield?

It seems the Baofeng MP31 Walkie-Talkie doesn't show the channel number. Can anyone please explain how to identify the channel you're on?

Good video

Good presentation. I don't like the flashing green light, that would bother me. Any way to stop the glashing?

What does the encryption setting do?

Hey. I just got a set of GM-30 plus radios. I tried to see how to update the radios but when I try to connect to the computer it wouldn’t recognize the radios. One time I tried it changed the language on the radio
