If they make sure the radio is FCC Part 90 certificated and have something in writing showing authorization on the chosen freqs, maybe ok. This would not authorize use of any other freqs, including ham, without the proper license in place. Baofengs can not be used at all God transmitting without a ham license, business use FCC license or FCC public safety license. No GMRS, MURS, FRS, or CB (not that it can do CB anyway).

Whoa, I would be very careful attempting to use any radio that is NOT FCC TYPE CERTIFIED on any band whether you are a first responder or not. That, I believe is illegal to do.

My wife and I are both long time Hams and First Responders. We have permission to use radios on both county and city police and fire departments in a limited way. However we must provide our own radios. It reads like the UV 5R could possibly do this on VHF analog repeaters. I think their is more programming steps that must be done in order to make it possible. An example freq as xmitted by my county repeater is 155.655. There are several others. If someone could post step by step how to do this I would greatly appreciate it. -- Sarge KE5YPB, Lickskillet, Texas "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
