Why can't others hear me on my Baofeng Digital radio?
To solve this issue with your Baofeng Digital radio, make sure that the CTCSS undertones or the DCS codes are programmed to be the same as the other people you are trying to communicate with. Also, ensure that you are not out of broadcasting range from the rest of the people in your group, or that your signal is not being impeded by your local surroundings.
Why is my Baofeng UV-5RV2+ transmitting without me pressing the button?
If your Baofeng Digital radio is transmitting in standby mode without pressing the PTT button, it's likely that the VOX setting is too sensitive. Adjust the VOX setting; a setting of 1 is the most sensitive, while 10 is the least sensitive.
Why does my Baofeng UV-5RV2+ Digital radio battery die so fast?
If your Baofeng Digital radio battery is draining quickly, make sure it's fully charged before use. If the problem continues, the battery's life may be over, and it might need to be replaced.
How to fix Baofeng UV-5RV2+ Digital radio that won't turn on?
If your Baofeng Digital radio doesn't start, the battery may be low. Either replace it with a charged battery or charge the current battery. Also, the battery may not be installed correctly. Try removing the battery and reattaching it.
