I was arrested in Kentucky for having the radio in my car. In Kentucky it is against the law to have a radio in your car that can receive police frequencies unless you are a ham radio operator or emergency personell. I had my car impounded, thrown in jail and had to go to court. My case was thrown out when I showed my ham license to the judge. I was arrested by Kenton County Police Department officers Gary Helton and Trevor Rohe. I never broke any laws but these two so called "officers" did not know the laws.

Under federal laws, anyone can have a transmitting radio in their vehicle so long as the user is not impeding agencies from normal operations. You do NOT need a license to have a radio or even monitor radio frequencies of any kind. So long as you are NOT broadcasting without a license. Even if you DO have a license NO law enforcement officer is allowed to prevent or confiscate any radio transmitter from a civilian, unless that specific civilian is committing a crime. Also transmitting radios falls under Federal Laws and not city or state. Only the federal government is allowed to say who can or can not have transmitting radios in their possession. You can sue the city and the state for negligence & false arrest and detainment on a device that falls under "Federal jurisdiction laws" Hence the reason why when you get your license its through the FCC which is a Federal Agency, not city or state. Kenton County Police Department violated federal laws when their reasoning to arrest/detain you was because of the radio transmitter device. punitive damages & compensation can be obtained via negligence laws along with other federal guideline laws regarding detainment due to federal reasons. Basically a city or state police is not allowed to carry out law enforcement on a federal level. ONLY federal police and agencies are allowed to do so, such as FCC & FBI.

Great video! Had trouble following this for programming channels at first. Note that you cannot overwrite an already saved channel: if you see CH-xxx, you must delete it first (menu option 28) before you can save the current frequency. In your demo at 16:50 , you are trying to save over top of an assigned channel (CH-001) and you get the "lady voice" saying "transmitting memory" which means it failed. Later, at 17:19 you program onto channel 002 (an empty channel, notice no CH- displayed) and get the "lady voice" saying "receiving memory" which confirms you have successfully programmed the channel. Hope this helps anyone who got tripped up on that like I did!

I'm not sure if anybody has already posted this or not but on the UV-5R, and on the older model that you have in the video, you should be able to just take the antenna off and then program in the NOAA Weather Radio station. Just make it where you can not receive the station and you should be able to program it in. I know they change this in later models and it is no longer an issue. In the UV-5R that I got in 2015, it allows you to program a frequency manually and save it to a channel whether anybody's talking on it or not at the time.

Both Baofeng and Radioddity have great products at pocket change prices. I picked up a 10W Unit that smacks a good number of our local repeaters from right here on my couch.

Good video, Ben! One of the other things you can do is program in the emergency management frequencies and listen to storm spotters. As long as you're strictly listening and not interfering, it's perfectly fine. Just look up your county Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES...pronounced "rayCEES") or Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) groups. They will operate on VHF and UHF repeaters. You can hear weather information generally 10 minutes or so before it's on TV or radio, which in a severe weather situation can give you enough time to seek shelter.

You've got stored channels, input channels, FM channels, so there was no way to understand what a person was talking about when trying to figure out how to change the channels. Obviously I'm new to this radio so I didn't know you had to be on the VFW/MR side to change to the stored channels. Jesus, you'd think this would be the easiest thing to figure out.

To save any frequency on a channel: you can only safe a frequency on an empty slot. If you go to the menu and see a 'CH' in front of the channel number, that means there is a frequency saved already in that slot. So, you must delete that channel, first and then go back and save it where you want it. Or, just save it in a channel that does NOT have a 'CH' in front of it and you're set!

What's wrong with that? Any content creator can ask for support from the viewers if they feel like it. Its not extracting money from folks, some people make their living off KZbin, and they use that money to make more content.

This is a great radio. Get the technicians license, get the NiFog guide to useful channels and also google the 3+3+3 prepper radio plan. Thanks for sharing this great video!

Most educational video I have seen about ham radio and the baofanag radio. Good job dude . You sold one . They should give you some commission for sales.

Thanks for the informative video. I'd like to see you pass the Tech exam and teach us to transmit properly.

Did you get straightened out? I'm an Extra class, and I just started a bi weekly series of videos on radio for SHTF. I'll have an HT video coming out soon.
