Hidden Baofeng Settings
I stumbled on these two “hidden” settings on my Baofeng radio yesterday which I added to the Short Guide:
*
- Short press to reverse repeater output and input
- Long press to scan channels or frequencies
#
- Short press to toggle between H/L power
- Long press to lock the controls
Other Tips and Settings
From the MENU settings:
- 7.
TDR ON
allows the radio to quickly scan between the A/B channels or frequencies. - 8.
BEEP OFF
turns of the beep when pressing buttons. - 14.
VOICE OFF
turns off the voice when pressing buttons. - 21/22.
MDF-A/B
sets how the channels / frequencies are displayed. I have one set toNAME
and the other toFREQ
. - 39.
ROGER OFF
turns off the roger beep. Please turn this off!
The other setting I recommend changing is the squelch levels using CHIRP. More info on how to do that on the Chirp How-to page.
