I've got one Darren, kicks the crap out of the bca and rhino radio'sThese seem to have more reach with the whip entennas
Send me a PM with your email address.I have the Baofeng UV-82 and i am looking for a channel list and a recommended mic. Is there a programmable list i have read about that someone could send me?
Mine just came in today. Thanks Ray
Im looking forward to actually having some time to sit down and figure it out.

Couldn't he just set the BCA to say channel B and set the baofung to the programmed BCA b???
Wow, that just confused the sh!t outa me lolThis is a question from pete on a different thread.
"P.s ray i bought a radio from you but i also have a bca and i am having trouble get the 2 to work together. Cant seem to go to a channel like 3-21 and be able to hear each other. I dont need all the other stuff to work . Thanks for your help. My no. Is ************ if this helps pete"
So I will go over FRS and privacy codes again. Here is what Radioreference.com says about FRS radios and privacy codes.
"Hand-held FRS transceivers with a maximum output of 500 mW are typically used by families, children, and campers to communicate. Shopping malls, theme parks, and special events are all great locations to monitor FRS communications."
"Most FRS radios have CTCSS capability. The companies marketing the radios usually refer to these tones as "privacy codes" even though they provide no privacy."
If you fall in to those categories then continue using your BCA or other FRS radio.
So what is CTCSS or privacy code? If you use one your radio adds a low frequency signal (the code) to your transmission. It is to low of a frequency to be heard by your ear. If the receiving radio is set to listen to that code then if it does it will turn on the speaker (squelch) and if not it won't. So if you are in a shopping mall and there are 100's of people with frs radio and you don't want to hear everything on the limited 22 channels the radio can get then a privacy code is helpful. Since most sledders using BCA are using 4-20 this totally defeats the purpose of either having different frequencies or privacy codes. At least Pete is using something less popular in 3-21. So when you transmit on 4-20 and there is another group on 4-00 they can still hear you as well as any other privacy code on channel 4 because their radio is not looking for any code. So where is the privacy? Also if you are transmitting on 4-20 and another group is transmitting on 4-19 you will just hear static as your transmission is been "stepped" on and not know why.
There are 38 different commonly assigned FRS privacy codes. The Baofeng has 50 so matching them up you need to look in the manual. Below is a table showing how different companies assign numbers to different codes. If you want to use a privacy code (CTCSS) with the Baofeng it is menu 13 as explained on page 68 of the manual. The latest programming I do has the BCA factory default channels of which 4-20 is listed as C on the BCA and channel 102 on the Baofeng. So Pete if you want to use 3-21 then set the Baofeng to channel 3 and on menu 13 select 136.5. Much easier to just use channel 3-00 on both radios. The FRS uses UK standard 38 tones the Baofeng newer Yaesu 50 tone

Wow, that just confused the sh!t outa me lol
It's the goog goo GA GA lolAre you easy to confuse??
That was a piece of cake for this ol' fart! Not and I never could figure out my Baofeng's. If it is harder than a Rino, I'm in trouble.
Yup, that's why mine from RGM is greatThat is why it is nice to get the programmed ones. They are pretty straight forward if you don't know much about frequencies.
