You know, you keep insulting people about having thrown out the instructions but I still have mine and I turned to you to help me understand things. You’re mean to presume everyone has thrown out the instructions! Nice work, jerk.

Honestly, the manual for this radio is almost crap. Good thing we have guys like you who make it simpler.

[nyquil]

Thanks bro. You explained in 15 minutes what took me 5 hours to understand looking at the manual. Peace and be well.

Just got our son a Boofwang radio for Christmas. He looks at his girlfriend and says “it’s illegal”. I knew that would be his favorite part.

I played football 17 seasons, coached 20+ more. Plus I've got several degrees in History, Biochemistry and now I'm a Dr. I only mention these things to impress upon you HOW MANY COACHES, TEACHERS AND PROFESSORS IVE HAD IN MY LIFE. I know a good teacher when I see one. 90% of people who teach are not affective because they talk to fast and simply are not clear with how they present the material being taught. YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER. YOURE A BORN EDUCATOR....ITS TRULY A GIFT. PEACE ✌️ ☮️

An extremely comprehensive video on one of the most versatile radios of all time.

My favourite part is the broken pencil pointer. Just enough chaos to trigger the nerves. 😂
I’m putting my new YouTube BaoFeng UV—5R Certification on my resume. Than you! 😊

[spartacusantipas]

As a professional teacher, your video was excellent and you receive an "A" for this assignment. Explained thoroughly and demonstrated well for the novice. Thank you.👏👏

[agentish]

New guy here. Don't know squat. These videos make it easier for me. Thanks Boofwang guy!

Absolute best $25 dollars you can spend on the best radio on the market. 5 stars, will recommend.

[madfunk]

I'm so excited to be Boofwang certified. I'm going to frame my certificate and hang it on the wall next to my GMRS exam. I got a C+. It passes.

I bought a whole bunch of UV-5R's and put them in every room in the house. They work really well as an intercom. I enabled the CTSS code, so we don't hear other people talking. Also, put them into low TX power, so our chatting doesn't fly much away from the house.

Just had a friend a couple miles away give me a brand new one of these so we can have communication during disaster or power outage. I'm 100% new all of this. Thanks for the video.

2 months into my radio hobby now. I have 8 Baufengs, an anytone, 2 radtels, and a radioddity. (As well as 12 UV5Rs still in the boxes to give out at Christmas) This Tuesday I go to my first local amateur radio club meeting. All this started with the lowly UV5R.

[Aimsport-video]

Right out of the gate, showing a perfect antenna grip. 10/10! Awesomeness.

[papabillingsley]

Had a nationwide cellular outage this morning so i just ordered 2 of these from amazon on sale for $30 for the bundle. Thanks for the simple idea of what im getting into lol😅

[paulathomas]

I’m an 81-year-old lady, and I want to get these ham radios to communicate with our son and his wife who live 10 miles away. Will this do the trick? I really enjoyed your manual. It’s simple, concise and slow enough for an old person like me to understand thank you so much.

[rmonti]

Literally watched 15 seconds of this video and I already like this guy!

[goodabuddhaify]

Just unboxed these. Thanks for the quick rundown. Luckily I didn't throw the manual away yet but, you saved me 2 hours of reading comprehension. Thanks.

[gerechoppers]

This is the 3rd or so time I’ve watched this video. How did I miss our esteemed Assistant Health Secretary in the background. Your brand of humor is so on point. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
