Baofeng G11S GMRS Overview and Programming
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Checkout the Baofeng G11S! These radios claim 3 watts of power with 11 NOAA weather channels. I found them to be quite sturdy, able to take some abuse. They have 14 menu options and are perfect for beginners to GMRS. When using the FREE programming software for the Baofeng G11S, from Radioddity.com, you will be able to add some of the amateur radio frequencies for monitoring as well as name tags. These radios are perfect for everyday carry (EDC) due to their size and weight.

Same radio as the P11-UV only that radio is rated at 5 watts. I picked one up and it tested at around 4.2 watts. For $36 on amazon you get the radio,charger, external mic, and usb software cable. Its a pretty nice unit overall.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for sharing . I am thinking to buy one Baofeng G11s but before I want to know if that radio use the same privacy code like Motorola , Cobra , Midland ?
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. I believe you would have to use different PL tones to get the same or similar "Privacy codes"
Best to
Just turn them all off.
I use Chirp on my Mac for programming my UV5R. Would I be able to do the same with this radio? I don't see it listed in the model pulldown menu.
Just found it's the same as Retevis RB27, which has CHIRP support.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Glad you were able to make it work!
Thank you so much for your video. It is really helpful. The issue I'm having is the programming software not detecting the proper com port. I have a baofeng programming cable, and I've downloaded the proper drivers for Windows 10. It worked when I first installed it. It detected the right comport, read from the file, etc... It hasn't worked since. Any ideas?
I don’t have this particular radio, but I do use Baofeng CPS for some of my GMRS radios, as well as Chirp. If the com port I select doesn’t work, I just keep on trying other ports until one works. Or you can go to your Windows Device manager to see which com port is the right one.
How to print the file once programming is done? I save the file, it's a .dat, but won't open with Adobe, Paint, Word, etc. Good video, thanks!
Anyone find out the best way to uninstall the programming software for the G11S, called P11UV_GMRS CPS? I found it would not do what I needed it to do. Instead I found that the G11S is essentially the same radio as the Retevis RB27, so I selected that radio in CHIRP and was able to program what I wanted. Now I'm trying to uninstall the P11UV software and it doesn't appear in Windows' list of installed programs.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I am not sure how to do that and nor would i want to guess and tell you something wrong.
Great job explaining the functions of this radio.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.
You’re video has helped me tremendously! I’m trying to pair the g11s frequencies to the rugged radio frequencies. It will let me put in the Rx frequency, but it won’t let me put in the Tx frequencies. Would you happen to know why? I’m using the same program you’re using in the video. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. If i remember correctly GMRS radios can only Tx on the specific GMRS frequencies authorized by the FCC.
I really did not understand at ALL how the repeater programming worked. I have a more clear understanding now, it appears I need to find the local repeaters, find out what freq and tone to use? (I assume that was the selection item you altered)I'll work on it this week. thanks for the video! 👍
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.
Great work. This an excellent video
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.
can you program custom simplex channels in the DIY slots or just repeaters?
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. If it is anything outside the FCC authorized GMRS frequencies then they will be receive only.
Question: In case I want to transmit on a certain frequency, what can I do to transmit? I have the G11S of the video. Example: the 462.225000 and the 462.325000 of the baofeng BF888S I have the software and the cable, but I don't know how to use it on the software.
just got these radios for me and my wife and just wanted to mention that they accidently included the manual for the UV-9G radio that they also make
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. Sending the wrong manual is crapy QC. This link will allow you to down load an owners manual from the Radioddity site. www.radioddity.com/pages/baofeng-download
Seeing that it shares frs ch, is it narrow banded like the midland radios?
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. It does allow for switching to wide band on some channels.
GMRS 1-7+15-22 are allowed to be wideband, but narrowband for 8-14.
Thanks for the information guys👍🏼
Solo se usa UHF?
¡Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de mirar y comentar! Se agradece mucho. Sí, para GMRS se utiliza UHF.
Vhf no ?
Great video man, thanks for the upload.
Interesting little radio.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.
@@WJ6FRadio You are welcome man.
Keep on keeping on. I dig your content.
I appreciate it!
Any antenna other than the original that you would recommend for the G11S? I measured the SWR on the radios I bought, the SWR is terrible (> 3.5)
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated. I have not yet tried any other antennas. However an inexpensive Nagoya 771 I think would do the job. Just make sure it covers the proper frequencies.
Trying to get an accurate SWR reading on a HT takes some special procedures, as it uses your body as the antenna’s ground plane. If you don’t hold it just right the swrs go way up. That is also why holding your radio correctly when transmitting can make a huge difference.
The factory set ctss codes are useful in my opinion. Out of the box you will not hear anyone besides your other Baofengs or interfere with other traffic from other radios. Turning them off is a few clicks away. You don’t even need a computer. If you want private conversations leave the ctss codes ON.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.
@@WJ6FRadio A quick update. I just bought a pair of this radios and out of the box the ctss codes are now removed . I guess they listen to user feedback.
Thanks for the video on these
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.
Can you set the repeater frequency without the software
??????
Usually channels 23-30.
They advertise 3 watts but 2.3 isn't 3 watts. So they rip us off. All the boafang radios are way lower power than they say.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the comment! It is greatly appreciated.
@@WJ6FRadio not a problem. I tend t make my opinion known. That is as long as I'm not shunned for it. New to all of this. The way I see it is boafang needs to be sewed for false advertising. Bunch of you hams need to get together and do this. Or is it OK with you that China rips off America?
