I have bought a few Baofangs UV82's now and I have to say they are pretty remarkable,
they are totally user programmable via usb or front panel, which technically here the front panel must be locked out for some dumbass reason,
i just bought two more of their new high power models and they have a great range, I have talked to the wife with her back at the trailer and me 10k up the mountain
https://baofengtech.com/uv-82hp-camo#!/ buy from here and service and warranty is great
if you do go with them I have the complete RR channel list including the LADD chanels and all the FRS channels saved to a loadable file I can send you to program in
takes about 2 mins,
I like to use the VOX mode and an earpiece which they come with when hunting with a buddy we can communicate hands free.
also dont just monitor those logging roads if they are active, you should be calling up your posistion as well, works two ways, the truckers like to know as well
just keep it simple if your headed up call out for instance grey pickup up 2 k marker or if your headed down call out grey pickup down 10k mark, there are also load channels to program and you can hear the loaders too

Thanks for the link and suggestion Hookin'up. Do you happen to know the frequency for places up north like Terrace area? We always just rented a logging truck radio when we fish up that way but sometimes it's a pain to call and return it during their opening hours, which not always work with our scheduled stay.
How do you manage to get a hold of some of these frequency? I thought logging road/company frequency are private frequency and not obligated to broadcast to public?

Most all of BC has switched to the RR or is being switched to the RR channels s they become active..
I can post up a list with frequencies later tonight when I get home
They are not private frequencies.
Some companies do have their own private frequencies for the licenses they hold but this is made public information as well
Just google bc vhf frequency list

That's great Hookin'up. Appreciated and looking forward to your list.
I wouldn't have fish up those rivers without a radio. The logging trucks are not moving from their position when burrowing down with a full load. It's a must have for anyone fishing logging roads to let them know your presence.

These are the channels I program into my radios, you may want more or less, I also add in the weather channels as I can always seem to pick them up when up in the hills as well
the 4 LADD are the truckers channels with LADD 1 being the preferred, the the new rural Road channels for the logging roads, the loader channels, the the FRS and GMRS for the cheapie walkie talkies so I can talk with buddies while out as well.
these radios also work well for marine use, just programm in those as well if you want.
google BC vhf frequency list,
Halimark I have these in a program file you can load into the UV82HP if you go that way.

Wow, impressive. Thank you. Much appreciated.
Do you need to order the USB cable to do the programming with a laptop or can you manually just program each channels with the buttons.
I remembered the channels were RR 1 for the logging road up in terrace.

Our ski racing club has 14 of those Baofang radios now for use by coaches and at race events. Love the long battery life, compact size, light weight and low price. They're easy to program, like Hookin says it's easy to do it via file upload. We picked up some high gain antennas too, they improve transmission in fringe locations. The antennas are longer (about 14") and cost about $10. Others in the area have taken notice and now the Okanagan zone organisation is in the process of buying 25 of them with charging stations for a communications package that will go from race to race. They cost $80 US each compared to $500-600 for a Motorola or Kenwood so that really adds up to a lot of money saved. Our club coaches have been using the Baofangs alongside our existing name-brand radios for three seasons now, and nowadays they all reach for the Chinese radios first, they like them better than the Motorolas. We're selling the latter this fall to other clubs whose coaches still insist on what they perceive to be 'quality brand radios'. We'll use the money to buy more Baofangs.
I'm resurrecting this old thread. I am planning a backroads trip all over BC in a couple weeks and I'm wondering about road radios. I see all the frequencies listed above and the link for the Baofeng 82hp. But it seems that with the new regulations the only Baofengs available to the public in Canada (UV-5R and TYT UV88) only operate in the amateur bands 144-148 and 420-450 MHz. Does this mean that I can't use this radio to monitor the roads as I drive them?

So what do I do? Just drive carefully on these "radio-assisted" roads?

All those who answered and provided info a huge thanks. I got that Beofang 82hp in camo and have been using it ever since. Works great, easy and range seams OK.
I have no idea about the new ones, my old one still works, as I am no computer geek and after several frustrating moments I ended up taking mine to a shop in Vic, they programed all channels (RR, water, and log landing/sort) in my radio and gave me a hands on tutorial all for $50. Even better now that I have my Restricted Radio Operator certification as part of CTAC.
I would recommend calling a couple shops for their advice. Ones in Vic were very helpful, I provide no name as I do not think they were supposed to do what they did for me when I had no user license/certificate.
