If you do not want to take apart your baofeng, you can still get COS.

Build this simple 1 transistor circuit

Even if the volume is all the way down, the COR detect still goes off when it gets a signal due to a DC offset in the radio i think. Just make sure you turn off the voice in the UV5R so it doesen't go off when you press buttons.

Ken,

 Unless you use a VOX circuit on the RX audio which I do not recommend you will have to go inside. We have used the Baofeng 888's with success as node radios. Info on the mod is in the how=to section at hamvoip.org  I believe the UV5 uses a similar approach.
