<body><div>I'll be a bit less abrupt than Nigel but the end result is going to be the same.<br /><br />The ONLY legal use of the UV5R is by an amateur operator in HAM bands that they're authorized to use. While there are a lot of things it can do, most are not legal and depending on where you are can result in a really steep fine - just something to consider.</div><div><br /></div><div>You need to get your terminology straight, Baofeng isn't a channelized radio - think TV channels. Operated legally (see above), it will allow you to select any frequency you (and your neighbor) wish to use. Used as a GMRS radio (still illegal but many do) you select whichever channel (a specific frequency) you want to use and go from there. A GMRS license is $85 (I think) with no test; a HAM license is "free" except for the cost of the test itself - about $35(??)</div><div><br /></div><div>Spare yourself a lot of grief and talk to your local ham club (there's probably one with 50 miles) about getting licensed and operating with the club. It's a lot more fun and maybe you can even convince your enighbor to do the same so you can chat (chew the airwaves) legally.</div><div>//al KG5HEJ</div>

You're obviously going to be an unlicensed/illegal user of those radios. Don't expect help here, unless it to help you get a license.

Hello, so me and my neighbor just got the 2 way baofeng-uv5F radios and we got it to where we can call eachother on a specified channel he preset but i would like to add police frequencies as well. I got the cord, disc program for chirp and have the gist of it down 'i think' lol. Is there anyway i can make a csv file from the frquencies channels i find on the website? Or should i import or query from data source of repeaterbook and is politcial or proximity search better for finding all the channels?

Also what settings do i need to set my radio to for picking up frequencies? Theres just so many options for each channel/ frequency i pick im just not sure what to do or if theres an easier way to import a csv file of all the frequencies/channels from that site to something like excel and transferring it to chirp? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
