You can use your Baofeng UV-5R, BF-F8HP and other similar Baofeng ham radios and GMRS radios to listen to other brand walkie-talkies that transmit on ham, FRS, GMRS and MURS - This video shows you step-by-step how to look up the frequencies needed to talk to these other brand radios.
I also clarify the regulations and FCC guidelines surrounding using the UV5R to talk or transmit on the GMRS, FRS and MURS frequencies.

It depends on what country you are in and what the rules are there for transmitting on ham radios.

[@TLOverlander]

I disabled Tx and recieve CTCS on my radio, but EVERYONE I wheel with, with FRS radios have just stock, off the shelf radios and they can all hear each other. So... Is there like a chart for what privacy freq or tone to set for each channel? 🤷 Also, using channel mode, saving CTCS options to off for both TX and RX doesn't save. Keeps a freq set to the channel.

[@israkin]

what is the differene between CB radio frequencies and GMRS? if CB radio is different, then whats the difference between using a mobile CB vs Mobile GMRS radio?

[@TheNotaRubicon]

CB radio operates at a much MUCH lower frequency, meaning you need a much larger antenna to transmit distances as far as GMRS can transmit. CB is limited to around 5 watts, while GMRS can transmit at up to 50 watts. CB radio has historically transmitted in AM, while GMRS has always been FM, meaning that GMRS has a more clear signal.

[@coffeecoffee5914]

but how do you get it to accept the lower channels with the 4th digit being a 5? like channels 1-14? 10:16

Does the UV5R need a specific antenna to transmit on GMRS?

[@OldNavajoTricks]

I'm new to the life but shouldn't it be possible to limit a 'Normal' radio transceiver to be under the .5w limit for pmr466 purposes? Say a dummy load between the handset and ariel? 🤘

[@TheNotaRubicon]

Depending on how the rules are written that may or may not make it legal, but you would want an 'attenuator' to do that.

[@OldNavajoTricks]

@@TheNotaRubicon Thankyou, so my random what-if is valid, details notwithstanding. 👍 I'm assuming an attenuator would be adjustable to some degree like a rheostat?

[@redfoxtactical8425]

@@MrTux62 the other thing that's super helpful is they're capable of picking up the National Weather service automated stations anywhere in the US.

[@frisk151]

This is just an opinion: "NOT legal advice".... People, BUY the BF 5R, and whatever HAM band transceivers you like.. Do a LITTLE bit of research (Radio Reference (website)) to see what frequencies are being used in your area / the area you are wanting to communicate in, and don't use any of the known / used freqs. There is a HUGE amount of unused feqs in the HAM band! NOBODY is going to mess with any of you... Do you see a single question @ Amazon checkout which requires you to input your HAM lic/cert info?? Yes, and NO... Nobody will know you are on the band unless you call the FCC and turn yourself in.. AND, it IS doubtful they would even send someone to monitor it even IF you gave them the dates, time and maybe even the address you were transmitting from. HAM has its uses, especially in real emergencies... However, there aren't just 40 channels like in a CB unit, or the walkie talkies that are popular.. You're welcome to GTS it if you doubt what I am saying. With all of the digital communications (online and off) today, HAM is mostly dying. ALL you need to do is to tune into the web streams of countless HAM repeaters / ham clubs to realize this. Sometimes, there isn't even a reply to the callouts. I will NEVER sell my handhelds, but if the "apocalypse" were to hit, and we lost power and sunlight (for solar battery backups) the true LONG range HAM stations will be DOWN soon thereafter. The "elitists" are part of the problem with HAM.. Yes, they dumbed it down so you don't have to do morse code fany longer to get your 'transmission permit'.. HOWEVER, I was listening in on the net when Hurricane Ian hit, and I was truly DISGUSTED at the old timers talking crap to people who were trying to ID, were scared and missing (breaking up) the info, and getting ADMONISHED for the way they were transmitting / communicating. For any of you "old timers" who may read this. Get current with the barriers to entry. Otherwise, you will simply be a nice (and legit) page in the history books. Massive amounts of GEO and LEO Satellites are rendering HAM useless, especially for SARS.

[@frisk151]
