To add a new channel, go to the row for the channel number you want to edit (you do
not have to go sequentially, you can skip channel numbers if you so desire) and follow
these steps:
Procedure 10.1. Adding a channel
1. Select the Band.
2. Click in the RX Frequency field next to it and enter your receive frequency.
3. Click on the TX Frequency field, and the rest of the row should fill in automat-
ically with default values (except for CH-Name which will be kept blank).
If you're adding a duplex channel you can go ahead and enter your transmit fre-
quency directly.
4. After that it's all just a matter of adding all the extra information and features needed
for the channel based on your requirements.
When you're done you can add an optional six character Channel Name in the CH-
Name field.
Repeat for all the channels you want to add.
To delete a channel, simply go to the RX Frequency field of that channel's row,
erase it and click on another field. The row should now erase itself.
When you're done adding and editing channels you will want to write them to the radio.
To write your information to the radio, go to Program -> Write to radio and
click Write. On a successful write sequence the radio will start flashing green indicating
that it is receiving data. When all data blocks have been sent from the computer the radio
will restart itself.
Radio to radio cloning
The Baofeng UV-5R is capable of cloning between radios, meaning if you have one radio
set up just the way you like it (the reference or "master" radio) and want another radio
configured in exactly the same way (the "slave" radio), you just hook a cable between
them and copy the information over.
Procedure 10.2. Cloning radios
1. Attach your cloning cable in much the same way you attach a programming cable,
except for where you put the other end into another radio's accessory port rather
than a computer.
Not necessary
If you're adding a
RX only (TX
inhibited)
channel, delete
the TX Frequency
field
Saving to a file
requires entering a
filename including
the '.dat' extension.
