This is a tutorial on how to hack or unlock your Baofeng UV-5G / UV-5X Radio. I have NO reason to believe this hack will work on any other models.
If you need to purchase a radio I have a an affiliate link which means make a small percent of money off each sale (a commission). This helps me to make more videos:
UV-5X - https://amzn.to/3CrPkkR
Programming cable https://amzn.to/3GyckB7
This is a frequency mod that requires no modification of hardware.
Software used:
CHRIP: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download

UV-5X Software - Can be found on Baofengs website.
