LICENSE NEEDED
As a GMRS radio, UV-5G requires a license from the FCC to operate. This license requires no testing, just fill in the application and pay the fee.
WHERE TO FIND REPEATER INFO
Repeater info can be found on the myGMRS.com (or its APP), it provides a decent list of repeaters.
Many customers used to be confused by UV-5X (GMRS version) and UV-5X (U/V version). So BAOFENG changes UV-5X to UV-5G and re-certified the FCC ID as 2AN62-UV5G. In essence, now UV-5X and UV-5G are both the latest upgraded version of the inventory, with the same hardware and software configuration.
Why choose GMRS over FRS?
GMRS repeater capable. The UV-5G can take advantage of GMRS repeaters to get a more powerful, further-ranging signal. -- This is not an option with FRS radios.
GMRS radios allow Wide-band FM to provide a louder and clearer signal than the FRS radios restricted to Narrowband FM with a lower power rating.
The UV-5G provides more selectable channels than FRS radios, more CTCSS and DCS tone options to reduce unwanted signals.
Cross Compatible
Compatible with all accessories of UV-5R series, such as a 3800mAh battery. Easy to find backup parts on market or from your previous radios.
Compatible with all brands of GMRS radios while offering shared access on some FRS channels.
Compatible with Baofeng's new six-way charger.
NOAA Weather Channels
UV-5G automatically scans 11 NOAA weather channels. On-call 24/7 with updated severe weather reports so you're always up to date on the latest weather conditions.
An ideal companion for road trips, hunting, backpacking, security guard, and other outdoor activities.
