Excellent! First video of many explaining it correct way. I am about to program frequencies for ISS and other AMSAT satellites. You made it easy. Just got today radio, and no programming interface, so I should to do it manually.
Some clarification: The wording here implies that this Baofeng will operate as a cross-band repeater. It will not. What's done here is program a memory location to be able to transmit to and receive from a DIFFERENT radio that is configured as a cross-band repeater. Confusion aside, it's a good instructional video on how to configure a channel for a cross-band offset, as I think a lot of people may not realize that you can set a very large offset like this. I am configuring my Wouxun KG-UV980P (cross-band repeater capable) to receive on a VHF frequency and transmit that received signal (repeat) on a UHF frequency (cross-band). This is so that low-power handhelds can transmit on a frequency that propagates better and receive from a high-power high-altitude antenna. Cross-band repeater = good performance using the same antenna without buying two radios and a duplexer. Win-win.
This video is very good I had to watch it over and over to see what you were doing finally I got it but now you need to show a video on it actually working as a repeater
Crossband repeat means the radio will automatically retransmit what it receives onto the transmit frequency (i.e. the radio functions as a repeater). This radio transmit when the PTT button is pushed... it has no crossband repeat function.
This is running split frequencies, not crossband repeat. Still useful, though. You could do the exact opposite on a second radio to effectively have a cross band repeater… but this is not a crossband repeater. Also, when setting up crossband repeat on any radio, use PL tones.
Are there radios that will function as a crossband repeater? Meaning that whatever they receive on their RX frequency, they will immediately TX on a different frequency
Sir , great presentation on cross band operation but that's not crossband repeater if it was anyone transmitting on one band frequency will make the radio transmit on the other band .
Hi, thank you for the video, but I have one question left: You can enter in Offset 3 number fields. In my device I can only enter 2 number fields. So why is this? Do you programm the device? Thank you for answering.
I had the same issue with the particular UV5R version I had which you probably have the same version. I bought the TP version like his for this purpose because this setup works with satellite's with UHF/VHF repeaters onboard.
He can't because this is not crossband repeat. Crossband repeat means the radio will automatically retransmit what it receives onto the transmit frequency (i.e. the radio functions as a repeater). This radio transmit when the PTT button is pushed... it has no crossband repeat function.

It won't work as a repeater. This is for use to/from another radio that can be configured as a repeater. He mispoke.

Excellent video. Super clear.
That's cool. I did not knew that was possible. Thanks.
You can program the cross band repeater without using the offset, it’s easier and faster as well.

Very very nicely done video. Concise, flows and is understandable and learnable. Well done sir and thank you.

This is great, thank you! Would you consider a short video showing how you actually use the Baofeng for doing crossband? Thanks.
He can't because this is not crossband repeat. Crossband repeat means the radio will automatically retransmit what it receives onto the transmit frequency (i.e. the radio functions as a repeater). This radio transmit when the PTT button is pushed... it has no crossband repeat function.
@@NaturesChild Right! That’s why I asked him to show us how he actually uses it that way! 😉
@@michaelo6003 you could throw a simplex repeater controller in the mix and THEN it becomes a simplex cross-band repeater.
Chirp will not allow you to program that amount of offset....so it doesn't actually work.
This is a split not crossband
Why don't test to our see.
