3 UV-5R Stock Dual Band Helical AntennaBAO B5 B6 PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE FOR THE BAOFENG UV. Your radio should be connected to the computer and CHIRP should now be able to communicate. Choose the COM Port number for the USB cable, the Vendor (Baofeng) and the model of the radio (such as UV-5R) from the drop down lists in the pop-up box. Click Go to Radio on the menu bar and choose Download From Radio. 1 Baofeng UV-5R Notes (BFS311 Firmware)Run the CHIRP Programming Software.

CTCTSS transmit and receive tone frequencies can be set via the numeric keypad to any frequency from 60.0 to 259.9 Hz in 0.1 Hz increments. Reference oscillator harmonics can be heard on 156.0, 416.0, 442.0, 468.0 and 494.0 MHz. Unit was purchased in 11/2013 and may have been manufactured the same month.When Menu 3 SAVE is enabled, the receiver is periodically turned off to reduce power consumption.In dual watch mode (Menu 7 TDR ON) the receiver on time is doubled to approximately 0.4 second due to checking two channels instead of one.Battery saver is activated after ~9 seconds of no receive and no keypad activity and is not active while scanning.The UV-5R has a 26 MHz reference oscillator. S/N may also be a date code. RT Systems Radio.Baofeng UV-5R Notes (BFS311 Firmware) Test Unit

Setting Menu 16 DTMFST to DT-ST or DT+ANI mutes the microphone preventing it from interfering with transmitted DTMF and 1750 Hz burst tones. The mic can pick up the sidetone from the speaker and overdrive or distort the transmitted tones. Pressing keypad keys while transmitting does not mute the mic. If Menu 16 DTMFST is set to ANI-ST, the internal microphone is hot when DTMF or 1750 Hz burst tones are transmitted. Pressing the key sends '0' instead of 'D'. On firmware version BFS311, and possibly others, it is not possible to send a DTMF 'D' tone.

The kHz part of the frequency (the digits to the right of the decimal point) must be divisible by the step size (Menu 1 STEP). When entering frequencies via the keypad in VFO (Frequency) Mode the radio will only accept 6 digits three before the decimal point and three after the decimal point. Mic audio can possibly interfere with transmitted tones.

To enter 451.0025 the step must be set to 2.5K and you must press or. You must have Menu 1 STEP set to the correct step size. You must enter the next higher digit or use the up/down arrow keys to change the rest of the digits. If the third decimal place is not 0 or 5 the radio will round down to the nearest step. You cannot enter a frequency with more than 3 decimal places, such as 451.0025 or 451.00625, using only the number keys.

(See CCR Default Frequencies)UV-5R BFS311 130903N Factory Frequencies Ch Freq ToneWhen Menu 3 SAVE (power saver) is enabled, MENU 6 ABR (backlight timeout) is set to 9 or 10, and FM broadcast reception is active, several seconds after receiving a VHF or UHF signal the radio will make open squelch noise bursts over the FM broadcast audio and not properly revert back to the FM broadcast band receiver.Dual Receive (TDR) does not work while the FM broadcast receiver is active. The exact frequencies and number of channels may vary with different models and firmware versions. Several people have reported newly purchased units with the following frequencies preprogrammed from the factory. To enter 451.1 the step can be set to either 2.5K, 6.25K, 12.5K, 20.0K, 25.0K, or 50.0K and you must press. To enter 451.0125 the step can be set to either 2.5K, 6.25K or 12.5K and you must press or.

This YouTube video demonstrates the problem. Receiver makes crackling sounds while moving, even when receiving extremely strong signals from a few feet away. Can be changed with CHIRP programming software. May be firmware date code. If the firmware version is BFB297 or later then you can only view the actual firmware version by using CHIRP programming software. If the firmware version is BFB229 through BFB296 this will show the actual firmware version.

This appears to vary depending on the antenna used and the distance to strong local FM or TV broadcast signals. Touching the antenna may overload or desense the receiver or cause it to go into oscillation. May be SDR artifacts or microprocessor noise. Occasionally squelch opens and weak buzzing noises can be heard. Some users experience this problem and others do not. It does not appear to affect all radios.

Scanning, and dual receive (TDR), stops on any signal or noise even in CTCSS/DCS decode mode. No delay before tones are sent. Settings 3 to 10 increase the decoder disable time from ~50 mS to ~1 S. Menu 37 Settings 1 and 2 appear to be the same as OFF and appear to have no effect. If no receive CTCSS or DCS is set (Menus 10 and 11 both OFF) then Menu 37 has no function. Menu 37 RPT-RL disables CTCSS or DCS decoding for up to ~1 second after PTT release and after the Menu 36 RP-STE delay time (if Menu 36 is not OFF).

Setting squelch level values above 60 or so will result in not being able to hear anything but extremely strong nearby signals. CHIRP daily build 02/02/15 or later increases the maximum squelch level value from 64 to 123. CHIRP daily build 1/11/15 or later includes the ability to set a squelch level value of 0 to 64 for each squelch menu setting. Setting Menu 0 SQL to 0 opens the squelch, settings 1-9 do not vary the squelch level much because of the factory default settings.

When DCS encode is enabled, the radio sends the standard DCS turnoff code (134.4 Hz tone) for ~280 mS when PTT is released. Setting Menu 35 STE to OFF disables this. This occurs even if no CTCSS encode tone is selected (Menu 13 T-CTCS is OFF). When Menu 35 STE is ON, the radio sends a tone of ~55 Hz for ~280 mS when the PTT key is released. Custom squelch level settings may not work in some firmware versions.

The receiver remains muted for ~750 mS after the carrier or 55 Hz tone drops.According to a post on on the baofeng_uv5r Yahoo Group: Upon receiving a 55 Hz tone the the receive audio is muted, even when there is no receive CTCSS or DCS tone selected and regardless of Menu 35 STE, Menu 36 RP-STE, and Menu 37 RPT-RL settings. In CTCSS or DCS decode mode if a signal with the proper CTCSS tone or DCS code is received and the tone/code is dropped, the squelch remains open for ~2 S. The microphone remains hot while the STE 55 Hz tone or DCS 134.4 Hz turnoff code are being sent.

This does not affect any other function of the radio. Setting MENU 8 back to on un-mutes the receiver. What occurs: If MENU 8 (Beep) is set to OFF, the receiver is muted. Radios Not affected: This does not affect the UV82 series. This includes UV5RA, RB, RC, etc., as well as GT-3, BFF8, F8HP, etc.

Top section 19 turns from tap point to end of coil has wider spacing. Has 3 pF capacitor at tap point. Tap point 11 turns up from base.

The tables below are a cross reference. CHIRP settings and Baofeng radio menu settings often use different terminology for the same radio parameter.
