Baofeng 997 S Manual

Nov 04, 2014 Newbie here. Just picked up a BAOFENG 997-S 2 meter/70cm hand held, and have torn out almost what hair I have left trying to figure out the menu programming and data entry (CTCSS tones, +/- offset, etc. Let alone the repeater frequency) from what passes for an owner's manual.

Manually Programming the BAOFENG UV-3R Transceiver This document provides more detailed instructions concerning manual programming of your BAOFENG UV-3R VHF-UHF handheld ham radio transceiver. But that text may not be very clear. Programming software and cables are also available for this radio from various vendors. WARNING: Your BAOFENG UV. Un boxing of a 997-S GT From BaoFeng US got this one on Amazon new to the hobby will be taking Tech course and test in the next few months. How to Program a Frequency in the Baofeng 997-S -GT. Then you should ignore the programming software that comes with the cable, and download Chirp 2014 and run it. Then you can download the program from the radio, into Chirp and edit it as you please for your own area. Once it's the way you want it, upload it back into the radio. Into Baofeng (Bŏw-oh-Fung) HT Radios. (UV-5R / UV-6R. The programming software is called CHIRP, and it is freely available online. Of course, CHIRP is a.

Baofeng handheld two way radios are well known among amateur radio operators everywhere. Models such as the UV-3R, UV-B6, BF-F9 and the legendary UV-5R are a common staple in the modern ham shack, and with good reason. These radios are compact, easy to use, versatile and, best of all, extremely inexpensive. They are some of the most affordable amateur radios on the market. These attributes have made Baofeng a household name in the ham community.

However, programming a Baofeng radio from a computer isn't all that intuitive and can become messy even for the most experienced ham who is not used to Chinese-made radios. The USB cable driver offered by Baofeng is buggy and the programming software made by the manufacturer is, for all intents and purposes, junk.

Fortunately, there are other options available, and once properly installed, they are actually quite good. You just need to know where to find these options and how to install them properly. Once that is accomplished, programming is usually a breeze.

To find and install the Baofeng USB Programming Cable driver and programming software correctly, follow the instructions below. NOTE: follow these instructions completely and in order. Failure to do so may only bring more frustration when things don't work.

1. To start, the computer should be on and the radio should be off.

2. Locate the correct USB programming driver for your operating system. You can download the Prolific driver for Windows, Mac and Linux at http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php. If you purchased the Baofeng UV Series USB Programming Cable from Buy Two Way Radios, the driver for Windows will be on the CD included with the cable in the USB Cable Driver folder. Insert the CD and go to USB Cable Driver > USB Cable Driver Prolific 3.2.0.0.exe. This is the correct driver.

3. Install the USB programming cable driver. Do NOT connect the USB cable at this time.

4. Locate the CHIRP Programming Software for your operating system. The latest stable build for Windows XP, 7, 8, MAC and Linux can be downloaded from http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download. It is also included on the Buy Two Way Radios CD in the CHIRP Programming Software folder. Choose the appropriate folder for your operating system. Install the program but do not run it yet.

5. Plug the USB programming cable into the USB port on your computer. Plug the other end of the cable into your radio and turn it on.

* Additional steps for Windows *
- There may or may not be a notification after connection. To verify the connection, check the Windows Device Manager. Access to the Device Manager will depend on your version of Windows. Once in Device Manager, click on Ports (COM and LPT). It should be listed as Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COMX). X denotes the COM port number. Note the number and write it down if necessary, as you will need to know it when configuring the programming software.

- If there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark next to the USB device, Windows did not install the driver correctly. To correct the issue, right-click on the device and choose Update Driver Software on the pop-up menu. Choose Browse My Computer to install the driver manually. Choose Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. Choose Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port Version: 3.2.0.0 and click NEXT. The correct driver should install and the yellow notification should disappear from the Device Manager. Note the COM Port number.

6. Run the CHIRP Programming Software. Click Go to Radio on the menu bar and choose Download From Radio. Choose the COM Port number for the USB cable, the Vendor (Baofeng) and the model of the radio (such as UV-5R) from the drop down lists in the pop-up box. Your radio should be connected to the computer and CHIRP should now be able to communicate with it.

* Additional Instructions for Windows laptops *
On some laptops, the device manager may indicate the cable is installed correctly, but CHIRP may not detect the COM Port. This may occur if Windows Power Management is enabled on the device. To activate the cable, go to the Device Manager and right click on Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COMX). X denotes the COM port number. Click Properties on the pop-up menu. Click the Power Management tab. Remove the check from the box next to Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power and click Apply or Save.

To verify the connection, Run the CHIRP Programming Software. Click Go to Radio on the menu bar and choose Download From Radio. Choose the COM Port number for the USB cable, the Vendor (Baofeng) and the model of the radio (such as the UV-5R) from the drop down lists in the pop-up box. The program should download the frequencies from the radio. When it completes the data transfer, the frequency table will appear on the screen. The radio is now ready to program through your computer.

As an authorized Baofeng Dealer, we want installation to be as easy and painless as possible so you can enjoy your radios for many years to come. If these instructions are followed correctly, you should not have any difficulty connecting the Baofeng radio to your computer. After the initial setup, future connection to the computer should be a matter of simply plugging the USB programming cable into your radio and computer and running CHIRP.
Note: If you followed the installation instructions and are still having trouble, there is now another solution available. The XLT Painless Programming Cable installs quickly and easily on computers with Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Installation is automatic on many systems with little or no user interaction required. The XLT Painless Programming Cable works with Baofeng, Kenwood, Wouxun and other two way radios equipped with standard two pin Kenwood connectors.

The basic PTT (push to talk) button on the HT is a simple switch that is normally open and when it is pressed, the switch is closed (conducting). Internally to the radio, this applies power to the PA (power amplifier) stage of the transmitter, it idles the receiver, it switches the frequency synthesizer to generate the correct transmit frequency and a number ...

With no load, I measure 3.17VWith 100kΩ load, 2.91VWith 10kΩ load, 1.59VWith 1kΩ load, 0.29V The math works out to a 10kΩ series resistance between +V and ground.As such the maximum power that can be drawn is at 1.59V/10kΩ load, or 0.25mW max power. Short circuit current would be about 0.3mA.

I would first measure the current draw of your ESP32 to rule out a fault there.The +V pin on the Baofeng microphone connection is probably intended to bias an electret microphone. These are essentially a capacitor, with sound pressure changing the spacing between the plates and thus the voltage. They contain a FET buffer since the capacitor could not drive ...

One other setting for each channel that may be giving you problems is Duplex/Simplex. Make certain it is set to Simplex or equivalently 'no offset'. This feature, when turned on, causes that channel to transmit and receive on different frequencies - typically for using the radio with a repeater.Viel Glück!

As far as I know, none of that series 'speaks' APRS by itself, so you'd need your external controller to generated the AFSK tones.Whilst it's possible to generate AFSK at such low rates with an arduino or the like – wouldn't a simple 'proper' computer like a raspberry pi or so not be the better choice here?You could basically run any ham software for ...

In theory, this is a question of the bandwidth - or better said of 2 bandwidths.In practice it's much more complex. But let's have a look at bandwidth theory first: the bandwidth of your transceiverthe bandwidth of the signal interfering you. Let's assume you have your receiver on 151,180,000 Hz. Let's further assume your receiver has a bandwidth on FM ...

Update: The seller tells me I contacted BaoFeng's US distributer that provided incorrect information and gave me the manufacturer's website, as well as credentials purporting to prove his legitimate seller status. As of this time, BaoFeng has not replied to my emails, but I will update my answer if they do. BaoFeng support tells me that there is no such ...

See Appendix B of the User Manual. BaoFeng calls these 'CTCSS' tones, more recently referred to as 'PL' tones. Page 67 of the manual describes Menu 13, which allows you to set the value of the sub-audible tone according to table C.2 on page 78.

According to the manual:This radio supports both Chinese and English language. The menu functions as follows: Press [MENU] to enter menu mode. Press [ ]/ [ ] to set, then press [MENU] to select. Press [ ]/ [ ] to the radio setting, then press [MENU] to select. Press [ ]/ [ ] to language selection, then press [MENU] to select. Press [ ]/ [ ] to select ...

That's not noise, it's digital voice. DMR, DSTAR, and P25 are digital modes that find popular use on the amateur bands.Some repeaters are digital-only. Others are dual-mode, so you will encounter a mix of digital and analog FM, depending on what the other station is transmitting. If you can find information on the repeater, you will probably discover what ...

Yes, it's compatible.According to baofengradio.us, the compatible models are UV-5R and UV-5R V2+ BF-F8+ and BF-F9 V2+ UV-82 and UV-82 V2+ BF-888S and the ATR-22 997-S With that information, I have connected the UV-5R and I was able to use the Chirp software with it.

I built an audio interface that connected from an HF radio to my Mac, a few years ago. Obviously, I was concerned with ground loops and hum and suchlike, because I intended to use the interface to transmit too, so I used audio transformers as well.But the one thing I found that surprised me was that (as mentioned in comments by Kevin) the Mac has a ...

I did apparently succeed in inhibiting transmit on a UV-5RA memory(reports Firmware version BFB297 but above BFB296 may not be updated with each revision) without using a computer. The method used was to set the offset and direction such that you were instructing the radio to transmit on 0Hz. The behavior while programming isn't quite what you would ...

It's possible for a strong enough interfering RF signal to overload the front end amplifier(s) of a receiver. Once overloaded into a non-linear range, all bets are off as to the resulting bandwidth of the interfering signal, which could then splatter into many nearby channels. If the stop-band attenuation of any of a receiver filters is poor, it's ...

If you insist on manually programming the radio, this 10-minute YouTube video should help. The programming description begins about 4:20 into the video, but I recommend watching the introductory material because it affects the programming steps.Note an error in the voice over at 7:46. The author says, 'Hit memory one more time,' but he actually presses the ...

What's 'official' anyway? The address of the company producing the device? That company seems to be 'PO FUNG ELECTRONIC(HK) INTERNATIONAL GROUP COMPANY'; the company importing to the US? That'd be 'SAIN3 LLC, Berkeley', I think. Is Baofeng a company or just a brand (hint: Nike produces zero shoes. They license logos. They are a brand company.)?Anyway, the ...

Sounds very much to me as if something connected to the PTT (the electronics that the physical switch activates) was damaged. With what a BaoFeng costs, unless you're just curious, it's not worth putting much time into troubleshooting. As a bonus, the battery you have appears to be okay, so you'll have a spare battery (which can be charged off the radio; ...

I believe the answer by Marcus Müller correctly associates the name 'Po Fung' with Baofeng radios.I found that baofengtech.com and baofengradio.com both have news from 2014 about their brand changing from Baofeng to Pofung. In both cases, the change was short lived. It sounds to me like they're two different importers using the same supplier. You can find ...

I found an answer for this online.Apparently there's a bug in the firmware of the various BaoFeng handie-talkie models (UV-5R family, BF-F8HP, and others) that causes frequency offset to revert to zero when in channel mode, regardless what was saved in any channel memory.I found this online document that gives the work around for it:One must program in ...

I'll confirm what Steve said above, the ROGER menu item (adding tones at the end of the transmission) is probably the closest you'll get in a Baofeng. But I would also point out that if you're operating on a repeater, you're likely to draw some criticism because most repeaters already signal the end of their (re)transmission with a courtesy tone. So the ...

I know this is an old question, but I recently had to setup Chirp again on a new computer and have long since lost the driver CD that came with my cable... thus I was having the same problem. The issue is that it's not really a USB cable per say. What your computer is doing is emulating an analog COM port through the USB cable, and it has to have special ...

One of the biggest problems people have is that the inexpensive Chinese radio programming cables often use cloned or pirated Prolific USB-to-serial chipsets. Modern Windows drivers usually don't work with these cables.You can buy a good, legitimate-chipset programming cable - Kenwood-brand ones are the safest bet but off-brand ones using the FTDI chipset ...
