You may be tempted to use FRS, GMRS, MURS (in the USA) or PMR446 (in Europe) frequencies.
Do note however that there are restrictions on these bands that make this transceiver illegal for use.
Thanks to Pofung Programming software PRG-UV-5G, it is possible to increase the performance of your radio or to
reduce its functionality by enabling or disabling some features (CTCSS, TOT, VOX, ROGER BEEP, SQUELCH, VOICE...)
your programming must comply with your FCC (or other country) license certification. Any attempt to change
frequencies or output power of the radio invalidates the approval.
Pofung UV-5G radios ship from the manufacturer "Keypad" locked per FCC rules. You will need the programming
cable to connect your radio to your computer for programming. The programming software are available for
download from Pofung website: http://www.pofung.cn. When programming this radio for the first time, it is
recommended you first READ the radio with the software and then save this file for future reference as it contains
the default programming and settings. In addition, after you READ this radio with software, first make your
programming and frequency changes, then send this edited file back to your radio.
NOTE:
