UV5R is type certified part 90. This is perfectly fine for public service use under the public service in questions licence.

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.
