To scan for repeater tones or privacy codes on a Baofeng UV-5R radio, you can follow these steps:
- Turn on the radio by pressing and holding the orange button on the top right-hand side of the radio.
- Press the VFO/MR button on the left-hand side of the radio to switch to the VFO (Frequency) mode.
- Enter the frequency of the repeater you wish to use by using the keypad or the up/down arrow keys.
- Press the menu button (the one with the letters “MENU” on it) on the right-hand side of the radio.
- Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the menu options until you see “T-CTCS” or “T-DCS”, depending on the type of tone you are looking for.
- Press the menu button again to enter the tone menu.
- Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the tone options until you find the tone you are looking for. Note that the tones may be labeled with a number or a letter, depending on the tone type.
- Press the menu button again to exit the tone menu.
- Press the scan button on the left-hand side of the radio to start scanning for the tone or code.
- If the radio detects the tone or code, it will stop scanning and you will hear the repeater transmission.
- To exit the scan mode, press the scan button again.
Note that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the specific model of the Baofeng UV-5R radio you have.
