My BaoFeng has a dirty mouth.

At first I thought it was just an Ass Hat busting in on the nets with a computer generated affront.

Its been a couple months since I bought this radio and have been hearing this on and off. UV-5RV2+. So last night I knew my battery was getting low and I'd have to switch it out soon, when the affronts started in on the SEFTN net again. But this time I realized that it was my radio that was generating it and not the station. Turns out it was my HT this whole time. My next thought was did I get a virus using the CHIRP software to program it.

And then realized it was related to the low battery. And then I finally figured out what it was really trying to say.

Yep, I hear something slightly different than what is mentioned in that post. But the funny part was that I thought it came from an outside station for the longest time, and then once I realized it was my radio, I figured out what it was actually saying in about 10 minutes after I linked it to the low battery status.

I even thought it must be something in Chinese during that 10 minutes.

I can hear what it sounds like it is saying. What is it really saying?

"Low Voltage"

It was doing it again today on the way in to work.
When the battery level hits 6.4 volts it starts up with its filthy mouth and continues until it performs an auto shut down at <6.3v.
[if I don't change the battery or turn it off first]
