Can you listen to race car and spotter frequencies with the UV-5R?
1430768
far as I know if you know what frequencies they are. that way you can put it in and listen.

If those freqs are inside the the limits for that radio, and not scrambled, then yes, if you KNOW the freqs...

Most of the answers to this question are so wrong. I love this product to listen to my local Police, EMS and Fire. But search Amazon for the UV-5r for a cheaper price and it works just as well. Amazon sells it for $25 dollars. Go to google and type in your request for your police department radio frequencies. You will most likely get www.radioreference.com and on this website you should be able to find your local police department and more....I did and it works great for me.

At the 2014 24 Hours of Daytona, Racing Electronics said that they could not program the Pro-444. They will sell you a their frequency list on paper, of course.

Yes. Google 350QX DX6i radio setup it will take you to youtube to show you how

They have some pre-programmed freq. But you can changed with the software and cable. Need just to buy the cable, software is by download

The software that comes with the cable is pretty simple. The problem with a program that would autopopulate the radio is you probably wouldn't be in range of the stations. You should look up frequencys

Here's a couple of web pages that might be useful in answer to your question. http://forums.qrz.com/showthread.php?374064-Baofeng-UV-5R-models http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/

My son seems to think a hobby shop should be able to sell you a remote with the same MHZ, mega hertz value ( 27 MHZ or maybe 49 MHZ ) that will pair up with the Merecedes. MHZ is probably on the car somewhere.

I use Chirp, in my opinion, it is better than the software from Baofeng. The radio is not listed, but use the UV-5R as the radio type. since they are basically the same radio. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home

Definitely not, one of the shortcomings of this player if you want to tune in weak radio signals.You have to let it autoscan before you can use the radio function at all.

I only own the UV-5R, not the GT-3, so I have not tested the abilities of the GT-3. But since both radios operate on the standard Amateur Radio VHF (136-174 MHz Rx/Tx) and UHF (400-480 MHz) frequencies, I am certain that these radios can talk to each other. The UV-5R appears to offer a greater range of frequencies, being programmable not only for the Amateur Radio frequencies, but for Business Band, Marine Band, and MURS frequencies as well. I do not know if the GT-3 can be programmed the same way.John Foote, KE7FDZ

These radios can operate at 400 - 470 MHz. GMRS and FRS both operate at 462 - 467 MHz. So...I guess the answer would be yes. I have not tried to program these, but the little research I have done it is apparently somewhat difficult.

You need an amplified source; either from a regular car radio or an amplifier.

I've never tuned one, but any antenna will require an swr meter to tune (unless the radio has one)

Not the same as you find in a HD radio but it uses RDS AF to pick up on digital data signal for same stations on different frq but not true HD radio like you find in cars or HD radio tuners.

You can program the BaoFeng UV-3R to use offsets for repeaters. You might use CHIRP or the BaoFeng software. Either should work. The programing cable maybe purchased from Amazon.com for around $10.00. Since it is a Dual band (2m and 70cm) the offset will be different. 2m will be +-600khz and 70cm will be -5Mhz. The only real limitation is the number of memory channels. Hope this answers your question.
