I have no intention of transmitting with it. In fact I will programed all the channels to not transmit.
That is a good thing to do. Be aware that the Baofeng can only be programmed to prevent transmission on a frequency
chosen from a memory location (i.e., a "channel"). If you
chose that same frequency using the VFO, then the Baofeng will still happily transmit. Chances are, you won't be using the VFO much, if at all, given your intended use. "VFO" = "Variable Frequency Oscillator" - this is when you are using the arrow keys to step up (or down) through the frequencies. You can also use these same arrow keys to step up/down through memory locations. What they step through depends on if the radio is set in "memory mode" or "VFO mode". You will want to stay in memory mode for your intended use.
The strength of the Baofeng is that
"you can do anything you want with it". The weakness of the Baofeng is
"you can do anything you want with it". And the double-weakness is
"you can do things you don't intend to with it". I would have no qualms handing you a Baofeng. It is obvious that you have learned, and are continuing to learn, how to use one appropriately. Unfortunately, this is not the case for a lot of people. For these others, a Baofeng is like handing them a full auto when they've never shot a gun before.
