Network Channels

BTECH radios have the unique capability of being involved in an online
network. Individual groups can be created. This expands the capabilities
of the radio. An example is a member is outside of radio coverage, but is
logged into the network and group- you can still communicate with them
via the Network Channel. Info can be found here:

https://baofengtech.com/harnessing-the-power-of-community-with­btech-gmrs-programmers-networking-groups/.

The information is the same for the HAM and GMRS usage.

Here are some excerpts from that page:

Getting Started with Your Account

Accessing Sign-In Options

If you’re new or haven’t set up an online prole yet, start by selecting the

fellow users within groups.

Privacy Settings
Adjust your location sharing preferences in the ‘User Settings’ to manage
your footprint and privacy.

Engage with the UV Pro Community through Network Groups

Before diving into group chats, you’ll need to connect to a network
channel.

Join a Network Channel
Navigate to the main menu and select ‘Join Network Channel’. Here,

you’ll nd a list of available channels.

Connection Status
The cloud icon’s appearance is your indicator of connection status —
a slashed cloud means you are ofine, while a clear icon signies
active connection.

Notication Settings
Control the audio alerts for new messages and conversations with the
speaker icon. A slashed speaker denotes silent mode, allowing you to
browse the log without interruption.

Real-Time Communication at Your Fingertips

The app’s interface is designed for real-time interaction:

Voice Communication

Use the ‘Hold to Speak’ button for instant voice messaging with other
group members, visible in the chat as audio waveforms.

Text Messaging
Tap the keyboard icon to compose and send text messages to the group,
facilitating quick and convenient typed communication.

Location Sharing

Share and request locations with group members to enhance your
collaborative experience, especially useful during events or meet-ups.

Understanding Data Privacy and Access in Real-Time

As you engage with the community through the BTECH UV Programmer
app, it’s essential to understand how your data is handled:

Real-Time Access
The app operates on a real-time access model. This means that to view
conversations and archives, you must be online. This design ensures that
you have immediate and continuous access to the group’s dialogue as it
unfolds.

18

Online Presence

To ensure you don’t miss any part of the conversation, maintain your
online status. Being online is crucial as it allows the app to sync and
display the latest communications from other users in real-time.

Data Privacy
BTECH takes your privacy seriously. No logs or conversation data are
stored on our servers. All information is relayed live and is only stored
locally on your device. BTECH does not store conversations, but simply
relays them to active users.

Archiving Conversations
If you wish to review past conversations, you must be part of the network
channel when the conversations occur, as the app does not retroactively

provide chat logs for periods when you were ofine. This approach

not only respects your privacy but also aligns with the real-time nature
of radio communication. It ensures that your communications remain
private, secure, and under your control.

Create Exclusive Groups for Focused Communication

For those desiring more private and focused discussions:

Private Group Creation

Establish your own private group and safeguard it with a passcode. Only
members with the passcode can join, ensuring exclusivity and control.

Searchable Database
Your private group will be listed in the app’s searchable database,
making it discoverable to users you choose to share the passcode with.

Continuous Connectivity
Stay connected to the conversation by keeping the app active on your
device, ensuring you never miss a message with the cloud icon enabled.
