If I wanted a semi-disposalble radio receiver that I could tune to a specific channel, what would I look at. Does anyone make something like that? I'm thinking like literally car remote tier simplicity.

Depends on the frequency and mode you want to listen to.

RTL SDR, 100KHz‑1.7GHz, 3Mhz of bandwidth at a time.
Luis Lee
get into the world of software defined radio.
Evan Thomas
Any baofeng chink crap can tune from dc to gamma rays.

Whats that? One where you throw it away and it comes back a week later?
Also this - OP stop thinking that generic VHF and UHF hand-helds give you the world radio-wise. Do some research. Understand what radio is.

I have exactly this Baofeng, not bad at all but boring in long term.
If you need only to receive just go for 10$ dvb-t usb from ebay, 1$ otg cable and use SDRTouch app. It works nice with big antennas. Plus on you can collect flight data and more
Bentley Harris
Those pieces of shit don't work on HF, nor can they do AM or SSB.
Sebastian Bailey
RTLSDR only goes down to 24mhz

What if like, uh, I wanted to use a commonly available radio like a UV-5R to transmit a signal to a receiver. The receiver will shortly cease to exist after so cheapness is a bonus.

Why not use a cell phone if you're going to play Afghani insurgent?
Landon James
Not if you use direct sampling. RTL SDR v3 can go to 500khz without hardware mods.
Mason Lee
Shit I got this radio and can't even figure out a simple guide on programming the FRS into it I wanted a radio that would be long range for trolling kids on their walkie talkies but all of the guides on programming it are over my head.
Easton Williams
8992khz usb skykang reporting in.

I genuinely chuckled at this user. Thank you.

Why does it have to be disposable? A reciever dosn't transmit anything so nobody can track you. If your looking for stuff on VHF and UHF look at baofeng uv-5r which is pretty good
Lincoln Davis
Just buy an SDR and make sure it doesn't get too hot. I use an old CPU heatsink on mine.
Daniel Carter
Everyone shut the fuck up, this is now an UV-5R thread. All hail the cheapest of chinkshit radios that is really pretty good at what it does.
I do wish they would redesign that numpad though. Seriously, how hard would it be to have the 0 below the 8 and the up/down buttons aligned vertically?
Benjamin Davis
Love me some baofeng. So lets say for the purpose of pyrotechnics, I wanted to use a radio to a receiver to set off my device. Being fireworks the receiver is one time use. What would be a good receiver? I guess you could just use more UV-5Rs but $25 a pop isn't too cheap for single use.
Jack Morris
This is not how you should be doing this. You should use a sim card + arduino to transmit and set off
Joseph Lee
Get a programming cable for them and use CHIRP
Charles Brown
The one complaint that I have about the Baofeng is the volume knob not having any clicky bits on it. If you're carry the thing the knob can easily get turned down too low to hear without your knowledge.
Dominic Fisher
Garage door opener, wireless door bell?
Not really tuneable, however.
