BTech GMRS Pro Frequency Programming Tutorial
How loud is the radio
Hi! How do I manually program a DIY channel? I have the frequencies and PL tones. Thanks!
Does this radio also work on GMRS?
Yes if it’s unlocked
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. I programmed one of my local GMS repeaters into the UV-Pro and it worked just fine.
Kevin called ME just this morning. I have a BLF1200 AS 100 Amp Battery I purchased on July 23, 2018. Bioenno has a TWENTY YEAR Warranty on their batteries. I contacted Bioenno 4 Days ago when I realized the battery was not taking a charge. Kevin is REALLY standing behind their products. He informed me that he will replace my defective Battery. I would have been more than satisfied with this, but Kevin went several steps beyond. He is going to send me a BLF 1220 AS TWO HUNDRED AMP Battery at no cost to me, PLUS a %500.00 Gift card for additional Bioenno Products. Now THAT is Customer Service!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Kevin does stand behind his products, and keeps customer service front and center.
Hey thank you you're a lifesaver show me how to do this❤
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.
This is most definitely a variation of the VGC VR-N76, which is what I have. I am curious about variations in firmware though, and the number of channels per channel bank. I dont believe the VGC has the weather channels pre programmed in.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Per the owner's manual you get 6 Banks of 30 channels each.
The channel arraignment is the same as the gmrs pro 30 x 6.
@@blastco2 You are correct. There is a lot of similarities between the app for the UV-Pro and GMRS-Pro. Pretty much a carbon copy.
Thanks a ton for this video! I have the GMRS Pro and have been wishing they would release one for the UV market. Was super excited to finally see a good overview on it pop up. Never clicked a video faster. Question - how does it compare with the 6x2 DMR Pro for a mostly analog use case? I was about to pull the
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video! I prefer the UV-Pro. I'm not a big user of DMR. The UV-Pro is a lot easier to program.
Another excellent video, thank you. Does this radio have Fast copy frequency button like Baofengs, Quashengs, Radioddity and all other radios? Thank you
Really is a nice little radio! Had mine for a couple of days now. Programs up and generally functions just like it's gmrs buddy. I presume the uv and gmrs will share location and text. Haven't tried yet but it looks like the batteries will interchange as well. Edit: nope batteries are slightly different. You can write text with the key pad flip phone style. Press and hold the red U-turn to toggle dual watch channel.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. I will have to see if I can send a texts between the UV-Pro and GMRS Pro.
Long press * for vfo. Long press # for key pad lock.
Location and text work just fine between the UV and GMRS pro's
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.

Is the wire length the only difference between mfj1982 and mfj 1984 is there difference in toroids or turns ratio.
Great video. I'm very close to the same beach and am almost ready to trot on down and try my first POTA. Just need a couple pieces of hardware. 73 from Fountain Valley
Just got it. It is a bit big, but overall, I like it. Seems to work well, feels like a quality product in your hand.
I know this comment is 4 years away from the original posting date, but thank you for the App demo. I got this radio for my birthday in 2023 and tried the app and thought the app was junk so I gave up on it. But I gave it another shot after watching this video. I still have some kinks to work out but I’m really happy I got my radio programmed.
We are a group of 4 and the Motorolas just don't cut it for moose hunting. We just need to communicate with each other. So can these be used as walkie Talkies, person to person communication? Do they come ready to use out of the box just set the frequency? ( Unlocked )? Thanks mate 😊👍
I have zero Ham experience. While everything you showed is easy to follow, I have no idea what any of the terms mean or what I am trying to accomplish. Could someone point me to a complete newbi guide to Ham radio operations that also uses these radios.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!! I am happy to answer any questions you may have. First question I have for you is, do you have your Amateur Radio License from the FCC yet?
@@WJ6FRadio nope. I don't see the need for it.
Is this good for a first time user that knows nothing about these lol???
Why is it so big? If it’s going to be almost the same size as the radio itself I don’t see the reason for it. I want something small and lightweight for my backpack strap. Right now I just have the whole radio on there but it’s bulky.
Thank you so much! Best tutor ever. Far better than the other ones (channels)
Very clear instructions, much appreciated.👍
Bluetooth programming from a mobile phone or tablet is also now available. A Tidradio Bluetooth dongle is required.
Where do they sell them ?
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Here's a link to their website. n9taxlabs.com/shop
This is a fantastic video. Very clearly presented. It helped me get up and running quickly. Thanks :)
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Glad this video helped!!
I bought two of these. As I understood immediate family can use under one license, is that still okay if I’m on one and the wife is on the other? I applied for my license two days ago. How long should it take typically?
Yes, you are correct about immediate family operating under one license. If memory serves, it took about 2 business days for me to get my license.
@@WJ6FRadio Good morning. Thanks for the quick reply. I am completely new to this. Is there a video of yours or elsewhere that you would recommend on how to choose what frequencies to use and why? We will be using these in rural NC and SC. Very little elevation change but some.
GMRS radios come preset to specific frequencies. Some are simplex (No repeater) and some are the frequencies used on repeaters. If you add other frequencies you will not be able to transmit on them only listen. Here is a link to all of the GMRS frequencies. don't worry about the FRS parts. FRS radios are those cheap ones you get at walmart, sporting goods stores, etc. www.rightchannelradios.com/blogs/newsletters/gmrs-radio-frequencies-and-channels?srsltid=AfmBOopnZTnnle-qbTjP9xm41WwGUGzZk6wYxfRQQdHK_AUEHHBW0-qS
@@WJ6FRadio Thank you sir.
@@elgigante650 No problem!
Had this unit for a while but just getting it out of the box. I didnt see where you did programming video yet?
Thanks for the info. I am interested in this radio but was wondering if anyone has tried the Mic modification for cw and if that works?
FIRMWARE ?? update
I just bought that radio but it wont transmit on VHF/UHF. Can you help me?
Sir, want to know about the UV9R pro and the BF888s combine to use, cuz i have a issue the uv9r pro have receive signal fro bf888s, whenuv9r pro call to bf888s have signal, but no sound
Good video. Purchased one on sale from R&L, today. Just starting to stick my toe into DMR from DStar. Adding to the tool box. Very good basic info re programming, btw. I’ll likely be using it with an OpenSpot4Pro as I’m really out of range of repeaters, here. 73, Scobie, AC4GM
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the tutorial. It is a real help!!!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.
I like the radio, the only problem and the only each that I have is, I will have to pay for features that I don’t not gonna use in order to use them you have to find someone with the same radio that’s down side good video thank you
Rock of the Marne brother. Spartans... Can Do. The updated box set comes with 4 belt clips. Thanks for the vid, helped me get setup.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Were you with 3rd ID, If so where at? I was with them in Germany.
Have just bought one. It's a nice radio and has a good receiver but it has various issues. The squelch operates all the time - cannot be completely switched off. The first bank - A - does not go below Ch9. It's a nightmare - very time consuming - to program. It does not use a spreadsheet compatible text file (eg .csv) that can be easily set up. There seems to be some twisted logic in the software design rather than keeping it simple and easy to set up and operate. I had to program it with the AT5555N 3.00 app. Bonus is that it allows programming for 60ch per bank and provides for more menu options. Would love Anytone to sort out the various SW issues.
I just want to listen to what’s going on around me. How do I do that. I don’t want to transmit. Just listen.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. All you need to do is program in the desired frequency and listen. No need to add in any CTCSS (except for the few repeaters that require CTCSS to listen), or repeater shift direction.

How you think this would work inside of an apartment?
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. It would depend on what your apartment is made of. For example, the ones near where I live are made of stucco which means they are wrapped with chicken wire thereby making them a giant faraday cage. Also are you on the ground floor or a higher floor?
Im not sure why I bought this junk but I hear the reciever chip is pretty good
12 volt charger? Wall charger? This implies that it charges batteries, this repeater has no provisions for batteries or for being charged. I believe you meant to say that it came with an external power supply for AC Mains voltages and a 12 volt automotive adapter. A charger is a completely different animal. You should also mention that frequency programming must be kept within the bandwidth limits of the narrowly tuned duplexor. It would have been beneficial to your audience to state what the acceptable bandwidth limitations are for the duplexor.
i have my test booked 4 wensday
I hope your testing went well.
im going for my foundation license this week and studying at tafe starting Monday i am going to build a yagi so i can reach more repeaters so i would like a antenna anlisyer so i don't blow up my yaesu ft 5d
Thanks for watching and commenting! It is very much appreciated!! Good luck on your Foundation test!! Let me know how the yagi turns out!
Hi dera OM, Merci beaucoup pour cette présentation. 73's
I’m a fan of the tossing on the table method of unboxing.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Glad you liked it. Thought it would be a little more entertaining
👋🍺🍺 good channel 👍
@@cornbread-KO5RN Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.
This is the same radio as the AnyTone AT-5555N
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. There does seem to be a whole lot of rebranding out there.
I have a problem with my bf dr1801, I do the programming process, I go to print out the device to program it in the device and after restarting, the radio station itself still has channels and frequencies that are factory ones, does anyone know what the problem is? it does everything as it should, without any error, but it simply doesn't have those frequencies that I typed in and wanted to transfer to the station.
Permanently attached microphone. Deal breaker. Glad I saw this video and found that out.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. I'm glad this video helped you save time and money!! Also, I dig your screen name!
@@WJ6FRadio well I appreciate that. Most people don't understand it.
@@BeingRomans829ed I'll be honest, I had to look it up to refresh my aging brain. I used to work for Greg Laurie during the Harvest Crusades in Anaheim and San Diego.
@@WJ6FRadio Heard Greg this morning. Not crazy about his abundance of joke telling, and especially his "repeat after me" soteriology but he's a good ol boy.
@@BeingRomans829ed I like listening to Chuck Swindoll and Skip Heitzig as well.
Can the HOA still complain if the antenna is obviously temporary? I have a similar setup using the Diamond mast that extends to 4.5m. I put it up or down in about ten minutes.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. They can always complain, but once it it down their argument is pretty much over. Mine stays up 24/7, due to its camouflage nature.
@@WJ6FRadio Thanks, in Australia they are called body corps, nobody has complained about my temporary setup. I have a S9 noise floor so I have been moving my rig to quieter places. I might buy the Palomar RF supression kit, and try the software noise cancelling process. The S9 noise floor means I don’t listen to HF at home untill I’ve figured it out.
Why does he leave out the part where you need an extra cable ($22) to link radio to computer.
Sometimes things are accidentally over looked.
