Hello, I have a baofeng uv82. I have the same frequencies as the rest of my friends who own this radio. There is only one difference. For channels 1 2 3 4 5 6 it says CT to the right and for channels 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 it says DCS. Someone told me that this is not a PMR but some factory test...

First of all - Baofeng UV82, in accordance with applicable law, should not be used in the PMR band (power, replaceable antenna) Secondly, read about CTCSS tones here Third - answering your question : if the radio is set to the same tones or is completely turned off, it will not interfere with communication between radios. Enclosed is the menu list, please read this.

Thank you for your help. I will add that the radio is not used in PMR

So what frequencies will you be using the radio? Did someone make you realize when you buy it, what are the risks of using it without permits?

If you do not have a radio license and do not want to operate in the PMR band, you can buy a personal radio license on Allegro authorizing you to broadcast only on a specific frequency. @ cristal2242 - I think you need to explain, not scare 73!

As I said, it is used on factory test channels

Oh, scare it wasn't supposed to sound like that, and why should my friend have problems, and we are hams who are not aware of someone on the bands. Buddy, I don't know who told you this, but he was talking stupid things, there is no such thing as test channels, Without permission you must not transmit and use to transmit this radio, ok I do not scare you but you have no idea where you are broadcasting and what are these test channels e.g. police communication channels? Nobody will listen to your translations and the problems are big, at best, the hinges. We are here to help tell you more precisely what do you want to use them for? They are, as the previous speaker mentioned, personal radio permits, but your interlocutors must also have them.

I want to use it for walking in the woods. I don't always have phone coverage.

It turned out that the symbols CT and DCS do not interfere with anything

Hello, I have a baofeng uv82. I have the same frequencies as the rest of my friends who own this radio. There is only one difference. For channels 1 2 3 4 5 6 it says CT to the right and for channels 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 it says DCS. Someone told me that this is not a PMR but some factory test channels or something similar. Will the fact that CT and DCS are written not interfere with communication between radios ??? And maybe someone knows how to make these CT and DCS appear there? I have had a radio for several days and this is the first radio I have.

I will add that there are ALL channels 21
