How to Listen to Broadcast FM
Broadcast FM is what most people call “the radio.” This is the series of channels that you listen
to music to while you’re driving in your car. For example, 94.6 may be a popular country music
channel where you live. You can listen to these frequencies on your UV-5R.
You have to push the orange ”CALL”
button on the left side of the radio. Once
you have activated broadcast FM, you can
then change what channel you’re listening
to by hitting the up and down arrows.
This will fine tune the frequency to what you
want it to be.
To turn off broadcast radio, just hit the
“CALL” button one more time.
