Using the App to Control the Radio (iOS and Android)
The full capabilities of the radio can be controlled via the App on both iOS and Android phones.

iOS
The App can be obtained from the App Store Search for “BTECH UV Programmer” Once installed, verify Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. Open the app, and you should see the main screen (Figure 1). Clicking the 3 lines (Hamburger) in the lower left will open the connect window, and available radios will be shown in the “Bindable Device” option list
(Figure 2). Select your device and it should pair the phone and radio. Once a radio is connected you will see the operating screen (Figure 3). Your screen will look different and show the factory default channel listings.

Clicking the “gear” will open the main settings window (Figure 4).
The options will be covered starting on page 30. Next is connection management (Figure 5). Use this to scan for Bluetooth devices to connect to. Next there is “General Settings” (Figure 6), The next option is “channels and groups” (Figure 7). Here changes are made to the memory channels and memory banks. Next is Band Scan (Figure 8) this allows you to scan through a range of frequencies to find activity. In the next option window (Figure 9) you can set the different functions of the programmable buttons.

Android
The Android app can be found in the Google Play store- search for “BTECH UV Programmer”. Once installed, verify Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. Open the app, and you should see the main screen (Figure 10). Clicking the 3 lines (Hamburger) in the lower left will open the connect window available radios will be shown in the “Bindable Device” option list (Figure 11). Select your device and it should pair the phone and radio. Once a radio is connected you will see the operating screen (Figure 12). Your screen will look different and show the factory default channel listings. Clicking the “gear” will open the main settings window (Figure 13).
The options will be covered in a later chapter. Next is Connection Management (Figure 14). Use this to scan for Bluetooth devices to connect to. The next option is “Channels and Groups” (Figure 15). Here changes are made to the memory channels and channel banks. Next is Band Scan (Figure 16) this allows you to scan through a range of frequencies to find activity. In the next window (Figure 17) you can set the different functions of the Programmable Buttons. The options are shown in Figures 17 and 18.

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-with-btech-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 profile yet, start by selecting the “Sign In” button located beside your “Nickname”

  • Creating a New Account
    If you need to create an account, choose the option to “Sign Up”. This will allow you to setup a Username and password with the email address of your choice. You can create an account here at: https://account.benshikj.com/user/register

  • Using OAuth Authentication
    For a quicker setup, you can also use OAuth authentication with Google or Apple.

This will link to your existing Google or Apple account for a seamless sign-in experience with no additional username or password to use.

General Profile Account Options

  • Nickname and Identification
    Customize your nickname and identification details to be recognized by 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 find a list of available channels.

  • Select the Default Group
    Choose ‘BTECH UV’, which is the default network channel for all app users. This is the primary hub for BTECH community interactions. The ‘BTECH UV’ default network group is your gateway to the community.

Connection Status
The cloud icon’s appearance is your indicator of connection status — a slashed cloud means you are offline, while a clear icon signifies active connection.

  • Notification 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.

  • 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 offline. 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.
