How do I program the Baofeng BF-R5 frequencies? The BF-R5 can be programmed using a PC. You will need a standard programming cable (K-Plug) and software such as the official Baofeng software or CHIRP. This allows you to customize frequencies and CTCSS/DCS privacy codes.
Is the Baofeng BF-R5 legal to use in the UK? The BF-R5 operates on UHF 400-470MHz. In the UK, transmitting on these frequencies requires a valid Amateur Radio license or a Business Radio license (such as the Simple UK Light license). It is not a licence-free PMR446 radio.
