Cool set up! I just put my radio in a cup holder, and it works well for me. I keep a mag mount dual band antenna in the car, and just run the cable out a back window (I leave the window open just a crack). I get what I feel is pretty good performance, and can reach repeaters 39-35 miles away with great reliability.
that mic is crap it pops when u use it lol bin it ,, also get a better radio for less money try the UV13 and get a 8 dolla mag mount for roof of car ul get trippel the range
Press zero for volts in decimals...from off to on hold 3 ,for firmware version...off to on hold 6 ,for serial number...alarm can transmit or not while being silent or not but it's for help from your group..hold PTT an press number keys for TONEs ,to start repeaters..Russia we love you an baofeng we love you..FM radio ,light,alarm..........moni(monitor) squelch. Get chirp from internet and expand the frequency down to 118hmz.the lowest ti still receive.....125mhz is AIRband !!! Don't transmit !!! It's more trouble than calling the army.seriously..plus your not allowed to so just listen ok.kiol KOOL .my2cents.out oh get a "baofeng BF-F8 HP" it's 8watts.cya.
Great solution, nice clean install! The RAM stuff isn't cheap but I am sold on it personally, very happy with the system. Having a mounted radio is so nice. I was constantly misplacing my handheld radio at the worst possible moment.
A better solution to velcro, if I may recommend, is 3M Dual-Lock. Been using that stuff for years and it's so much more secure and you use less of it because it's very secure.
Great ideas sure. I've used industrial Velcro and mounted all my radios in visual locations that are out of the way but in line of sight. moving them from vehicle to vehicle is not a problem because of sicky back velcro. Mic's included.... then when I' out of the vehicle and parked, I remove the radios to out of sight locations .....all of them
I have the same radio and have for years. Best upgrade was buying the Kenwood hand mic for it. The only problem is it cost as much as the radio itself. The baofeng one was junk.
well, i ordered teh same mount, but its way to big for either of my handheld radios (UV5R / THD7) - i guess there are two models with the same serial (small phone / tablet) - it would work great with my phone, but thats not why I bought it :( bummer. TL/DR when ordering the mount, if there is an option, get the SMALL PHONE option to get the same one as here.
Hey Bro. Just found your channel. Ive been building a fun fishing, camping rig here in Yukon. Its my classic 1998 toyota rav 4 5 speed. Really fun driving. My other 4x4 is a 97 tacoma, lifted, armoured, winched and running 33 inch tires and driving it bores me to tears. I keep it for hunting and cutting forewood. My Rav used half the gas so I can affort to get out more. Subscribed, have fun. Cheers from Canada
I've noticed a Serbian flag above your head, on the headliner. I'm not familiar with your nationality, but it's nice, I like it a lot. Greeting from Serbia.
i have a older President Harry classic and president 1020mm antenna, planning to sink receiver in the passanger glovebox. you can rip easily that A pillar plastic off and run wires under it. my stereos has a microphone (with wire) running under there and a roof, drilled hole next to clock for mic.
Tu as bien fait de placer ton micro là, que de le relier au plastique qui longe le pare-brise. Pour l'avoir démonté une paire de fois, je trouve qu'il se déclipse trèèèèès facilement, et je pense qu'il y avait un risque que tu le déclipse un de ces 4 avec la tension du câble. 😅
I have 2 5r's and 1 8 something. They are in the trunk in the back of the car. Lol. One day I'll upgrade, but these work just fine for what I use them for, emergency comms during Hurricanes.
In Australia we use UHF radios (ultra high frequency). Heaps of channels to use without the need for a license and as they are small units they can easily be hardwired into the vehicle without taking up much space.
Great video. When using a speaker/mic you can actually put the radio anywhere, even under the seat, assuming you don't have to mess with changing channels and frequencies.
Clever, but This is going to be garbage signal without a ground plane vertical antenna mounted to the car. Your going to get really bad picket fencing. Ditch that rubber duck asap.
Un poste cibi c'est en AM et sans permis pour émettre , cette radio est en FM et c'est en fait une radio amateur (besoin d'un permis )moi je suis au Canada alors ça dépend de votre pays.
Supermario à été plus rapide que moi ! Ici en France il y a besoin d'une licence seulement pour émettre, on peux quand même acheter le matos et écouter. Le Baofeng uv-5r couvre le VHF et UHF, on peut donc aussi l'utiliser sur les fréquences ouvertes des pmr446 (talkie-walkie) librement !
Ok, merci pour ces précisions. J’ai une cibi dans ma Jeep mais je trouve que posséder une portable, lorsqu’on se fait guider sur des terrains compliqués c’est très pratique. Je pense donc en prendre 2. Merci, et bravo pour vos vidéos.
Get a roof antenna..an speed up a bit..also get a battery extender for car.its a battery with a cable for car lighter..from .. AliExpress.com..baofeng bits. AA battery cases..
wow...your installation really sucks. all that stuff will fall off sooner or later. the tape will get unsticky because of the hot temperatures during the sommer and the velcro will worn out and the mic will just fall off. just screw that stuff in the plastic...your driving a old car, it will be worth the same with or without a couple of screwholes.
@@ALNSMOVERLAND i have heard bad things about that 12v plug, something about it can only handle 12 volts, not the 14.4 that the alternator can output. also, when i plug my baofeng into the base charger it interferes with it, or so i thought
If you’re not holding it your hand there’s no ground plane and it will receive and transmit like crap. This setup will NOT work while driving. A counterpoise might help. It’s better to NOT amount the unit, hold it in your hand and use the built in mic. Any LEGIT ham radio operator will tell you the same.
Except that it does! I have a similar set up and I can reach repeaters 10 miles away (36 miles away with an external antenna. It doesn’t work as well, of course). People have been putting radios in their packs and using external mics for decades!
For all who don't know this you need a license to transmit over any frequency on this radio and also THIS IS NOT A WALKIE-TALKIE DO NOT USE IT FOR A WALKIE-TALKIE UNLESS YOU HAVE A LICENSE. For normal walkie-talkies you don't need a license because those 2 or more walkies are on a closed frequency just for those radios. This one can tune to any frequency and even though you think a frequency is dead and you want to transmit all frequencies have something on them and you could get in serious trouble.
I just clip the UV5R and mic to my sun visor. Works great... until its sunset.
That 3M body tape on the back of that velcro will NEVER let go! They use that stuff to hold body moldings on the outside of cars...
Yes! A bit expensive but at least it sticks 👊👊👊
*northern climate* KNOCK KNOCK
Have them for years now. Money well spend, they work very good, good range
Thanks for your feedback! 🙏👊 I'm gonna use more and more from now!

Enjoy your new radio setup !
Why not put the mic up by the radio
Didn't show baofeng much.get it a pillow like "sledge hammer" TV show an me.out. oh....up

I used a magnetic type cell phone holder for mine works perfect. Wizgear
Thanks for sharing!
Get a battery eliminator so you don't unnecessarily use batteries when driving long distances. 😎
I would like to suggest my installation option (watch video in four parts)
ruclips.net/video/YztSy4FjnXA/видео.html
We have the same ones. Do you have any licensing needed in France?
The pmr446 frequencies are open to everyone. For the rest, we can buy/own the radio and legally listen but for transmission we need a license yes 😉
Am curious to see what temperatures you see in the summer and winter times?
You mean in general in France?
@@ALNSMOVERLAND Yes. Also other places in your regular travels? In the last week we have had 40c during the day to 5c at night.
Finally came back to answer 😂 In France we have an average of 30c in summer I guess. In winter is pretty rare that we go under -5c.
Nothing crazy!

Thank you for your feedback
Little hooks are for fluorescent light chain hooks
Great idea! I'm ordering the mounts now and I'll do the same with my UV5R or my UV17R. I think I'll add an external antenna, too. Thanks for the idea!
Wondering if hot temps or humidity will cause the Ram Mount to come loose?
The glue is super strong !
Thanks for a video ... next step , uv5r sma external magnet vhf uhf antenna put in roof or back forester 👍
Yes! That's what I have in mind 😁😔
You lost me when you said Suburu....lol
Suburuuuu

Hi!! Great solution… u have an update of this MOD?? Greetings from Chile
Loved this vid Jordan 🤘 we're also looking around for a great two way radio. As usual your vids are really informative 👌!!!!
My glad you enjoyed it mate! Hopefully it will help you for your future choice 🙏

Awesome! The rav4 was one of the choice before I got the forester 👊 have fun too mate !
Have you figured out an antenna setup yet?
Dude you look like Bear Grylls hehehe, joking aside congratulations for the video, watching you from Brazil.
Ahaha you are not the first to tell me that! Glad you liked the video 🙏
Clean install! I have the same setup for emergencies 📻🤘
We can’t broadcast with them without having a HAM “license” here in the states but still good for emergency weather channels
I've noticed a Serbian flag above your head, on the headliner. I'm not familiar with your nationality, but it's nice, I like it a lot. Greeting from Serbia.
Thanks mate! I actually trade it with a French flag patch in Lebanon with Serbian soldiers 🙏

😂😂😂 Ça aurait été drôle tiens !
Le mien tiens toujours bien mais dans tout les cas le micro est mieux là !

@@ignitionoffroad5028 The Baofeng Uv-5r is also UHF! But a license is need here
4:10 bro don't lie you're putting drugs in there aren't you
👀
Do you use the programming cable for the radio? I think the free program is twerp or tweak or something. Chirp, it's chirp.
Yes I have the programming cable! I needed it for my pmr446 too 😉
Great video. When using a speaker/mic you can actually put the radio anywhere, even under the seat, assuming you don't have to mess with changing channels and frequencies.
Why don't u just put a magnetic antenna or a mobile radio im shure u can afford it
Yeah I'm gonna do that
You make another content about Baofing uv82 and antenna
That's an idea ! I'will look into it
Great video, brother, happy weekend! (sorry for short reply, still pretty sick with pneumonia, it's NOT the Rona, I was tested, LOL 🤣) 😁✌
Ahaha no worries my friend, have a great weekend too, have some rest 👊 good news it's not that ***** rona 🙏
Hello Jordan, great vlog as usual. Just wondering what kind of range in kilometres do you get with that model of Baofeng kit please
Thanks! For the range It really depends of the antenna and the environment. I can be from 1 to 10 km
You need battery cigarette charger
Great set up. Thanks!
Always happy to share! 🙏
Nice
With out an external antenna I doubt if you can get out more than 500 meters. It's a big faraday cage.
how is it holding up? double sided tape is good?
Yes !
0:00 you can turn of those friggin annoying sounds from the radio, FreQuenCy MoDE
How good do theses radio work with out a anttana Mont on car just little anttana new to the hobby
Do you also have a video on how to install the antenna?
I haven't covered this subject yet 😉
@@ALNSMOVERLAND What about now?
👍👍👍👍👍
Called those S hooks. Nice vid.
Thanks! 🙏
Good morning and good job man
Good morning too! Thanks 🙏
A ham radio operator that thinks a handheld works when not holding it? 🤦🏻♂️ sad bro
That’s a good mounting solution. Thank you.
Always happy to share!
No drilling? Simple. Put radio in cup holder and use glass mount antenna.
So do you know if thid radio supports 27 mhz inside the car? Thank you
super cool video
Thanks! 🙏
I clicked on this because I was looking for someone who has devised a method of charging the baofeng in the car.
You can find batteries you can plug directly to your 12v cigarette lighter so it always have charged battery
This was very good man thanks for showing.
My pleasure 🙏🙏🙏
Eh ty suto macchina 🏎
Clever, but This is going to be garbage signal without a ground plane vertical antenna mounted to the car. Your going to get really bad picket fencing. Ditch that rubber duck asap.
Did you ever pick a car antenna? I saw one called NAGOYA UT-102 SMA. Have you found another option?
Not yet, I didn't push the antenna search. Look at the other comments, people suggest good antennas 😉

How do you charge?
It's cool
What is the range on it .In thr city
In cities 1-5km depends on your antenna
Get a roof antenna..an speed up a bit..also get a battery extender for car.its a battery with a cable for car lighter..from .. AliExpress.com..baofeng bits. AA battery cases..
Noted! Thanks my friend 🙏

any ideas for charging?
The baofeng charger plugged to my auxiliary battery 🤷♂️ but there is a 12v plug you can directly put on the radio, it's seems like the best solution
