Sorry I don't really remeber right now but when I get home I can double check for you.

Short answer... No. Are you a ham radio operator? If you are licensed it should take you long to figure it out as it's pretty intuitive with its features. If you are not a ham, it will take a long time to figure out.

If you do not have at least a Technician class HAM ticket, it is illegal to use this radio on any frequency. (Amateur Extra Operator and ARRL accredited Examiner)

Wow, the same thing happened to me, and yes, it is in the manual! Hold the tuning "up" (+) button while turning on the power, and it will switch from the European (9kHz) to the U.S. (10 kHz), which sets it back to 580, 590, 600, etc., rather than the off numbers. Best 10 minutes I ever spent on the internets!

This is an amateur radio hand held transceiver. The frequency bands it operates on are 144-148 MHz and 440-448MHz. The problem I am having is that the software used to program the transceiver does not recognize the transceiver.

I am not a techie, but no way it is reaching its stated watts. Maybe 4 watts. If you look at other Baofeng model reviews, you will see HAM operators who have tested earlier versions, you will see this to be the case. I love the radio and it hits the repeaters here in NYC.

Most HAM equipment will be drawing only about 5A-10A MAX> The exception would be the radios, which typically draw 20-25A--depending on what you are running. Therefore, I just get the 30A variety, and they cover anything I might use them for.

Scan radio frequencies manually, until you find one with quiet static and no radio stations, press save. Save it as a preset. Simples

TAKE YOUR STUFF AND GET SOMEONE AT RADIO SHACK TO HELP YOU . Maybe the RS employee knows what they are doing, maybe not. Only way I know.

Hi Connie. That's not going to happenBaofengs only put out about 4 1/2 wattsThe only way your going to talk to your friends is thru a repeater. Simplex is onlyGood for about 5 to 6 miles. Hope this helped you. I have four of them and been a ham for 27 yrsHave fun

Mine is putting out 4 watts on VHF and 5 watts on UHF. In reality no one will be able to tell the difference between 4 watts and 5 watts

If the radio still works I would say either the LCD display went bad or the power from the control board was lost. There might be a small fuse. The display should have 5 to 10 volts DC. If voltage is present then the display will have to be replaced.

Same problem with aircraft batteries. I tried setting it at a low CCA battery setting to see what would happen and got a reading. I have no way to know if that result is accurate. The thing is designed around inputting the CCA to do the test, so I guess it might not be the answer for you. You might want to consider a carbon pile style tester.

Mine did the same thing. I sent it back to be exchanged. I thought that the radio was defective.

You need to have a Amateur Radio license, get it here www.hamradiolicenseexam.com The testing is in many places in your area if you search for ham radio clubs. ALL of them have a group that will test and a pretty open schedule. You DO NOT want to transmit with out a licence, fine can be about $10,000 and as a licensed operator it is aginst the law to communicate with an unlicensed person. BTW testing is easy when I took mine there were 4 girls 12 yrs and 2 boys 10 and 13 that received their Tech license, which is all that you need
