CHIRP files for the Baofeng UV-5RM
The radio is already set to the UV-5RM (listed in CHIRP as Baofeng 5RM). Open a channel list or build one from ready-made lists; each channel shows whether it fits. Then save the CSV for CHIRP.
What the UV-5RM can hold
1,000 memories with names up to 12 characters; receive 108–136 MHz airband (AM), 136–174, 200–260, 350–390 and 400–520 MHz; FM, narrow FM and AM; high, medium and low power.
Picking the radio in CHIRP
In CHIRP the UV-5RM is listed as Baofeng 5RM. The UV-5RM Plus has its own entry — pick it in “Check for my radio” if that is your radio. Its CHIRP driver also adds rules of its own, so a channel marked ✓ here can still be refused in CHIRP.
Before you load it into a radio
The file is for CHIRP, the free programming software — not for the radio itself. CHIRP is what writes the channels to the radio, and CHIRP and the radio decide what they accept; we cannot check that without your radio. Before uploading, download the radio’s current memories in CHIRP and save them as a backup, then look through the channels. Transmitting on some frequencies needs a licence or an approved radio — check the rules where you are. You use the file and program your radio at your own risk.
