Baofeng radio guide for dummies: Start here!

- So you've bought a Baofeng UV-5R, GT3, or UV-82 variant due to peer pressure on Arfcom or Reddit; ...but now what?
In the past year, I have studied each and every feature and function of these radios, and how to program them. I even earned my Ham General license to learn as much as I can. This series will teach you more about these radios than you can stomach!
This first video of a series takes you through the unboxing of the unit, uses for it, frequently asked questions, first upgrades you should buy, and what all of the buttons do.
Next video: Programming a Baofeng using Chirp Software
If you have a question that you want answered, enter it in the comments, and I will address it in a future video!

Man, I can not thank you enough for this video. It's like no one actually wants anyone to be part of this community. You've made it so much more clear.
💯
Indeed!! 💯
Of all the videos I've seen on these radio's this one was the best. Very informative and understandable. Thank you.
It really is. No fluff, just solid information.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Clark Immanuel instablaster =)
@Phoenix Trent Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Phoenix Trent it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
So much better than the other videos I’ve seen on this radio. No show business or ego inflating, just good teaching in a very understandable way. Thank you for the effort
Since I’ve gotten my Baofeng I must’ve watched 10 or more videos on the subject, but so far no one has layed it out like this. Thank you for speaking plain English and having a sense of humor about it. Some of these guys act like they’re bringing you into a secret brotherhood, I keep waiting for the blood oath, ha ha! 😂 I’d love to know more about the Cola group, sounds interesting, consider me subscribed. 🇺🇸🙏💪🤙
Thank you for explaining this in terms where a beginner understands what you’re talking about. Great video 👍
I've watched dozens of videos trying to learn something to see if I want to get into HAM. Your video gave me more information than all of the other ones I've watched. All of the other videos I've watched used terms that someone not in ham (me) would have no idea what they are talking about. Fantastic work man.
Just got my UV-5R+, and this is the most concise, most clear, best overall intro I've found. Thank you! Moving on to the other parts now! Subbed!
Most useful information on Baofeng in one video. Direct and to the point. Nicely done
I've watched several videos on this topic and yours is by far the best! You're easy to understand, get right to the point and nothing you say is confusing. Gotten many 'ahah' moments when you were explaining the buttons. Going to share this with my neighbor who is also interested. I have several radios, got my license for GMRS, it's a beginning, have had it since August of '18 but haven't transmitted yet. Very experienced in CB, just got a CB that transmits in FM, by Wouxum, supports USB-C battery charging and has an SMA antenna. Will be watching this again to be sure that I didn't miss anything, definitely subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos! Thank you so much!
Dude, you rock. Your video has finally allowed me, after much investigation, to understand the mysterious ham radio world. You've picked up a new subscriber. Now on to your Chirp video.
Informative, clear, and accurate. Thank you for posting and please continue to educate. Wonderful work mate!
My friend, I have been a Ham for over 25 years . This is one of the best and practical vids I have seen. Awesome job.

2 years later this video is still great. Thank you
Ordered two UV-82 radios, looking forward to getting them in the next few days and following your instructions to program them. Your how to videos are the best out there!
This is a fantastic video, the best I’ve seen. I subscribed and waiting for the CHIRP video. Got a UR-5 on the way. Thanks for the great information.
Very thorough. Thank you for taking your time and going into the examples of how it works in detail.
Great introduction to radios video. On to the next one. Thanks.
I've just bought a UV-5R and I was struggling as how to use it. Thank you for your excellent video, it clarified all of my initial questions!
I just got my Tenway UV-5R Pro today. I really appreciate how you simplified this.
You have actually gave me the vital information I want to know you are a great teacher well done
Hey man thanks very much for taking the time to make this video which is exactly what I was hoping to find.
I am brand new to Baofeng after mostly stumbling across the subject while surfing around online seeing what the latest was in CB radios as I was was into those for many years as a kid.
I'm intrigued by this whole Baofeng journey especially now that I can see how it figures logically into prep/survival which I'm a definite fan of.
So I picked up the model GT-5R and thanks to your video here I was able to learn quite a lot about operating it as you were teaching and demonstrating on the UV5.
Next I will move on to the rest of the videos in this series where it looks like you have five total and I will be sure to watch them all.
So thankful and appreciative time and time again for all the educators like yourself that we have on RUclips to help those of us who want to learn about something we were not previously familiar with.
RUclips is just pure gold for real!
Peace & Blessings good sir 🇺🇲
Thanks for the video. Very well demonstrated. I'm expecting mine to arrive tomorrow and I had absolutely no idea how to use it. Thanks from the UK 🏴🇬🇧
Thank you sir, this is the best video I've seen on the Baofeng radio! Plain language and easy to understand!!👍👍
Good info, well explained and well presented. Probably the best primer on this confusing little radio on You Tube. Thank You!
Good job making a simple intro that any noobie can use to get started, you've taken out all the scary and made it sound easy and friendly.
Hey Mister, I wish to thank you very much for your smooth explanation of all of this , I'm planning on getting a few of these pretty soon! I've subscribed!
I just got done programming my Baofeng UV-82 and wish I would have found your video earlier. You explain everything very well, thank you! Hope you make more video's! Now that I have it programmed, I'm curious to see what I can listen too. Might need a better antennae.
Proper good stuff mate, Abaolutely the most informative video i have seen for my needs.
Thanks for making these videos. Working my way through them!
I have had a Baofeng for years, and I just am learning how I can use it. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for taking the time to put this video out here. I just purchased 2 of the UV5Rs to use when hunting with my son and I know absolutely nothing about them.. After watching I don't feel quite as dumb lol. Thanks again my man. Great job
Thank you!!!! I've been trying to make sense of my radio for weeks! I've been through 3 manuals and 5 videos. I made more progress in the time it took to watch your clip than the last 2 weeks!!! 🙏🏽
