Dual Watch/Dual Reception; Dtmf (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) - Baofeng UV-5RV2+ Operating Manual

Dual Watch/Dual Reception

One of the unique capabilities of this device is the ability to monitor two channels simultaneously. This is
accomplished by a feature known as Dual Watch. Dual Watch allows the radio to switch between two
frequencies at a fixed interval, despite it only containing one receiver. The Dual Watch functionality also
allows the ability to lock the transmit frequency to one of the two channels it is monitoring.
Note: While in Dual Watch mode, certain functions may not be available. The below functions are
disabled when Dual Watch is activated:
•
Reverse Function
•
Usage of [POUND] button to switch between high and low transmit powers in channel mode.
•
Saving of duplex channels.
To enable Dual Watch mode, follow the steps provided below:
Procedure: Enabling or Disabling Dual Watch mode:
1. Press the [MENU] button to enter the menu.
2. Enter [7] on the numeric keypad to get to Dual Watch.
3. Press the [MENU] button to select.
4. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to enable or disable Dual Watch mode.
5. Press the [MENU] button to confirm.
6. Press the [EXIT] button to exit the menu.
Whichever channel (A or B) that you enable first will be the default channel for transmission. This can be
problematic however when listening to a frequency that does not permit transmission from the device.
To assist with this, there is a menu option to enable locking the transmitter to either A or B channels as
per the selection. Please see the steps below on how to lock the Dual Watch transmit channel:
