6 x Baofeng UV-5R: The UK's Professional Standard Team Radio Pack
The 6-pack Baofeng UV-5R is the radio configuration of choice for UK professional teams who need structured, shift-based communication with clearly defined sub-group channels. Six radios is the natural step beyond a basic five-person team — giving you the flexibility to deploy as a full six-person team on one channel, two independent groups of three on separate channels, or three coordinated pairs each with their own dedicated frequency.
Whether you're managing a six-person security detail across a UK venue, coordinating a hotel management team across multiple floors, running a construction crew across a large site, or organising a large outdoor expedition group — 6 UV-5R units programmed to a structured channel plan give you professional-grade command and control communications at a fraction of the cost of proprietary radio systems.
With 128 programmable channels, 50 CTCSS tones, and 104 DCS codes, the UV-5R 6-pack gives your team leader complete control over who communicates with whom — on every radio, all configured via PC programming in a single session.
6 Radios — Three Powerful Team Configurations for UK Operations
Config 1: Full Team of 6
- All 6 units on Channel 1
- Single shared team channel
- Everyone hears everything
- Ideal for smaller site coordination
Config 2: Two Groups of 3
- Group A: 3 units on Channel 1
- Group B: 3 units on Channel 2
- Channel 3: all-team broadcast
- Ideal for multi-zone operations
Config 3: Three Pairs
- Pair A: Channel 1
- Pair B: Channel 2
- Pair C: Channel 3
- Ideal for multi-area patrol teams
Pro Tip: Add a dedicated command channel (e.g. Channel 10) accessible to all 6 radios but used only by team leaders for cross-group coordination. Programme all configurations into all 6 radios in one CHIRP session using an original Baofeng USB programming cable.
Programming Your 6-Radio Team Pack
PC Software Programming — Recommended for 6 Radios
For a 6-radio team pack, PC programming is the only practical approach for consistent fleet deployment. Use Baofeng CPS software or the free CHIRP software with an original Baofeng USB programming cable. Build your complete multi-channel team plan on the first radio — all sub-group channels, CTCSS/DCS codes, command channels, and power settings. Save the file, then apply the identical configuration to all 5 remaining radios in under 2 minutes each. All 6 radios fully configured in approximately 20 minutes. Full guide: How to Program Your Baofeng Radio Using CHIRP.
Manual Keypad Programming
Manual keypad programming is available for individual field adjustments without a PC. Press [VFO/MR] to enter frequency mode, select the A side with [A/B], choose your band with [BAND], enter your frequency, adjust step size, and set CTCSS/DCS codes if required. For a 6-radio professional team, PC programming is strongly recommended for consistency across all units.
Additional Features
Memory channels store specific frequency configurations for instant field access. CTCSS/DCS tones ensure each sub-group's communications remain private and free from cross-group interference. Switchable transmit power (5W High / 1W Low), reverse mode, and Time-Out Timer (TOT) provide complete operational flexibility across all deployment scenarios in the UK.

Who Uses the 6-Pack Baofeng UV-5R in the UK?
The UV-5R 6-pack is trusted by UK professional teams who need structured, multi-channel communication across a larger operation:
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why is 6 radios the preferred pack size for UK security and event teams?
A: Six is the most common team size for structured professional UK operations. It provides enough radios for a full team with clear sub-group separation — two groups of three, three pairs, or a five-person team with a dedicated command radio. Six radios is also the minimum at which a multi-channel strategy becomes truly effective, allowing different areas of an operation to communicate independently while still connecting via a shared command channel.
Q: How do I set up 6 radios into separate sub-groups?
A: Using CHIRP or Baofeng CPS software with a programming cable, create a channel plan that includes separate channels for each sub-group — for example Channel 1 for Group A, Channel 2 for Group B, and Channel 3 as a shared all-team broadcast. Apply different CTCSS/DCS codes to each channel for privacy between groups. Programme all 6 radios from the same saved file. Full guide: How to Program Your Baofeng Radio Using CHIRP.
Q: Can all 6 radios broadcast to each other simultaneously?
A: Yes — when all 6 units are set to the same channel and CTCSS/DCS code, any unit that transmits is heard by all other 5 units simultaneously. This is standard simplex operation. For sub-group configurations, radios on different channels only hear their own group unless they switch to the shared command channel.
Q: Is the Baofeng UV-5R legal to use in the UK?
A: The UV-5R is legal to own and receive on without a licence. To transmit, you require a valid UK Amateur Radio (Ham) Licence or a UK Business Radio Licence issued by Ofcom. It is not authorised for PMR446 licence-free channels. See our guide: UK Ham Radio Licences — Your Complete Guide.
Q: VHF vs UHF — which band suits a 6-radio professional UK deployment?
A: For outdoor UK professional deployments — construction sites, large venues, open events — VHF (136–174MHz) delivers greater open-terrain range. For indoor UK operations — hotels, shopping centres, multi-floor buildings — UHF (400–520MHz) penetrates structures more effectively. The UV-5R supports both on all 6 units. Read more: VHF vs UHF — Which is Better?
Q: What is the real-world range of the UV-5R across a 6-radio UK deployment?
A: Range is consistent between any two UV-5R units regardless of fleet size. In open UK countryside or elevated ground, expect 3–8km+ between units. In dense urban environments such as London or Manchester, typical range is 0.5–2km. For large-scale UK professional deployments, accessing a repeater network can significantly extend coverage across your entire 6-radio team.
Q: What earpiece connector do the UV-5R radios use?
A: All 6 UV-5R units use a Kenwood K-Type 2-pin connector, compatible with K-Type speaker mics, earpieces, and headsets. PTT earpieces are included with every radio in this 6-pack.
