Let's talk about the Baofeng UV-5R which is a popular and cheap two way radio.

If the city/town/county you live in uses conventional (ie non digital) radios (UHF or VHF) then it can also be used as a scanner.

So you can be mobile and know what's going on. Say, at a protest. Image Before I get into how to use it a couple of caveats.

1) Unless you are on the FRS band (ie commercial walkie talkies) never hit the PTT/transmit button. It is illegal to transmit on any frequency other than the FRS frequencies
