How To Program The Baofeng UV-5R To Monitor While Off-roading, Hiking, Paintball, Using The Keypad

-- This is a step-by-step guide on how to setup and configure your Baofeng UV-5R, Baofeng BF-F8HP, and any similar model Baofeng radios to monitor/listen to GMRS radios using simplex mode. A ham license is not required to listen to or transmit on GMRS frequencies, but be aware that the Baofeng UV-5R is not FCC Part 95E compliant for transmitting on GMRS or FRS frequencies so if you don't already have a radio, make sure you get one that is fully FCC "accepted" for use on GMRS channels.
