How to program CTCSS and OFFSET on Baofeng UV-5R

This video is about programming the CTCSS and OFFSET of the Baofeng UV-5R ham radio. #baofeng #ke6vrk #hamradio

no one dumbs this down enough. like bro i just bought this raido and im tryna find out why its static on every frequency people talk on? i need a video describing this all so dumbed down its not funny. i wanna know what tone is and how to fix static on this raido

[@themilkmanv]

One of the clearest tutorials I've watched. Thanks. I finally understand!!

[@tomdonahoe3539]

This video was *VERY* helpful. Sometimes you're not near your PC and need to program in one or two repeater profiles manually and this is how you do it. Thank you and 73s.

Thanks! This video made me understand how to set CTCSS on my uv-5r I tried several others with no luck

[@MikeOfKorea]

Finally a demonstration of how to put in a PL for a repeater.

[@mrRoverkane]

Great info, thank you

Tks HP2 big help figuring out off set to use -5 📻

[@jesteruno]

You know how to solve The disappearing offset problem and if so can you make a video on it? For some reason the early radios magically lose their offset. Just programmed both of mine using the chirp software and they were good for about 5 minutes then the offsets disappeared. Thanks!

[@joebolling]

Yeah. Offset only stays set if you’re in frequency mode and set it *before* saving to a memory location. Set menu options 25, 26, and 27 in that order. Once the frequency is saved to a memory slot, trying to set or change the offset value just gets ignored. Has to be done manually (not using chirp) and prior to saving to a memory slot. If you use chirp, use “split” instead of “-“ or “+” in the “duplex” column, and then input the actual transmit frequency instead of an offset value.

Thanks for uploading this, has definitely helped me understand tone settings. Question, when and why would someone need to use an offset minus or plus setting ? What would be the reason for this

[@AdamDitheridge]

When connecting to a Repeater. They TX and RX on seperate frequencies....that difference is the 'offset'

[@gamerbot101]

@@AdamDitheridge thank you

Do you need to set the Receive CTCSS ? What if you set a receive tone on your Baofeng and the repeater station doesnt require it... Would you not hear anything on the repeater ? thanks

[@CSIS-Spy]

I cant save offset in channel mode. It shows the offset in Chirp though.

[@Echo_5_Charlie]

what if CT is always showing?

[@stoveboltsix]

I can set the CTCSS codes, so that I can communicate with another radio, however, if I turn if off and then back on, the codes are gone. I have CHIRP downloaded to my computer, but cannot change the codes there either. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...Clint

[@DirFujicion]

why would anyone need to set the offset? why not just go to that frequency

[@luismontijo7373]

Hello, I have a Baofeng like the one in the video and I am listening to people from Arizona through 440,700, how can I hit the repeater, I am from Mexico

[@banks7059]

I can’t hear my my partner transmit

Please turn off the annoying “fairground” music in the background.

[@ROYKN6WBK]

Your audio sounds weird.

[@nobonespurs]

1- volume is too low 2- your steps dont work SQL comes up first on menu
