Baofeng UV-5R (and similar) - Tuning for GMRS and FRS Operation for emergencies.

How to manually tune your UV-5R(a) and similar model radios to communicate on GMRS and FRS (family channel style, talk-about, etc) radios. Also learn how to make the UV-5R series of radios listen to two different frequencies at once. Disclaimer: You should only use a radio such as this on GMRS/FRS frequencies if it is an emergency as these types of radios can exceed the maximum legal transmission power for those frequencies. § 97.403 Safety of life and protection of property. No provision of these rules prevents the use by an amateur station of any means of radiocommunication at its disposal to provide essential communication needs in connection with the immediate safety of human life and immediate protection of property when normal communication systems are not available. Also learn how to set your Baofeng to communicate using PL Tones (CTCSS, Sub Channels, Private Channels).
