Part #: UV-5G
The Baofeng UV-5G FCC Device ID: 2AJGM-UV5G (on the radio) 2AJGM-P51UV (found on some early literature) or 2AN62-UV5G (which is the newest and probably correct for the radio) is a FCC Part 95E legal GMRS version of the classic model UV-5R. It features 30 GMRS pre-programmed channels + 11 NOAA channels. This radio extends all the functions from UV-5R but transmits only on the GMRS channels. It adds NOAA Weather Scanning and Receiving. The UV-5G is the old UV-5X (GMRS version). There was a UV-5X (U/V version) which was often confused with the GMRS version. So BAOFENG changed UV-5X to UV-5G and re-certified the FCC ID as 2AN62-UV5G. UV-5X and UV-5G are both the same hardware and software configuration. These radios are ready to go, right out of the box. A true GMRS radio that will be a useful companion in your outdoor activities.
The UV-5G GMRS is repeater capable and has the 8 repeater pairs programmed in from Channel 23 to 30. GMRS power levels and the wide-band capable signal will allow a further talking range than FRS radios. When used with a GMRS Repeater, the range is greatly increased.
Compatible with BL-5L 3800mAh extended batteries as well as other accessories of UV-5R series, except antenna. Works with the Six-way Charger.
The NOAA feature automatically scans and receives weather reports from the channel, letting you know when bad weather is coming. An alternative communication option in case of disaster when cell towers are always overloaded. Use it as your emergency radio!
Easy to read with tri-color display. Most basic settings are accessed via the Menu and Keypad. Features 9 sensitivity levels for VOX hands-free operation. 128 Channels, 50 CTCSS tones, and 104 DCS Digital Coded Squelch choices. More advanced settings are available when connected to your computer.
Repeaters:
You can find repeater information at myGMRS.com (or its APP), it provides a decent list of repeaters.
Why choose GMRS over FRS?
GMRS repeater capable. The UV-5G can take advantage of GMRS repeaters to get a more powerful, further-ranging signal. -- This is not an option with FRS radios.
GMRS radios allow Wide-band FM to provide a louder and clearer signal than the FRS radios restricted to Narrowband FM with a lower power rating.
The UV-5G provides more selectable channels than FRS radios, more CTCSS and DCS tone options to reduce unwanted signals.
Cross Compatible
Compatible with all accessories of UV-5R series, such as a 3800mAh battery and Baofeng's new six-way charger. Most of the parts that fit a UV-5R will also fit the UV-5G. Compatible with all brands of GMRS radios while offering shared access on some FRS channels.
NOAA Weather Channels
UV-5G automatically scans 11 NOAA weather channels. On-call 24/7 with updated severe weather reports so you're always up to date on the latest weather conditions.
An ideal companion for road trips, hunting, backpacking, security guard, and other outdoor activities.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
