I just got a baofeng uv-5r and programmed a fire frequency into it but it doesn’t receive am I doing something wrong or do i need to do something else for it to work.
Well, it depends on two things. If you programmed the correct frequency, and if it is a transmission mode your baofeng can receive. If you share the details of what you programmed and where you are, people here can check for you. The net is full of old data. Sifting it is part of the hobby.
