I can't believe that you are holding the radio by the antenna. That is bad for the radio. Just taking the antenna off and on is not good but holding it by the antenna is terrible.

Once upon a time, about a year ago, i knew nothing about GMRS i was happy.
Now...i've got about 10 handhelds, 2 mobiles, 1 base, antennas, meters, testers, SDR dongles, f*ing coax and connectors no Boofwang UV-5R.
So...i'm ordering one for the roger that will complete my happiness

The roger beep setting is absolutely the most important setting, especially when ker-chunking my local ham repeaters.

I bought two of the Baofeng GMRS UV-5Rs a few weeks ago right after you did the video on the release. Received my Wouxun (Ocean) KG-UV9GX in the mail yesterday. It was a birthday present from my wife. Thanks for your reviews and information.

After I purchased the UV-5R I was able to pass the ham test. I think it made me smarter.

I can’t believe that the roger beep didn’t come first. It’s obviously THE most important setting on the radio!

[Pugs]

Being shown how to get what channel name I programmed into is the best!! I was super disappointed after buying a programming cable and figuring out how to connect it to my laptop and no channel names! Thank you! Seriously thank you!

The reddit HAM community may not seem to appreciate you, but in my opinion, you are exactly what is needed, especially for newcomers to this hobby. I have subscribed and am looking forward to joining you on this journey! Keep up the great work!

[TrevHolland]

Just got my Boofwang UV-5R. Thank you so much for all your videos on the Boofwang UV-5R! Looking forward to becoming a better unlicensed HAM operator on my Boofwang UV-5R!

If you're radio doesn't have a flashlight it's not a real radio.

[sijonda]

I don't care if it's explained by someone who knows more than me that I may not need to watch this. You never know if you might learn something. And of course, I learned something.

I always appreciate these videos.

4:17 menu settings 10 and 11.

Randy...thanks for putting my logo up there! I said it as a joke and you did it. Awesome. The local sad Hams will be sacrificing goats to curse me by morning.

[clydeanweber]

Great tutorial. Just bought my first UV-5R. This really helps. Much better than instructions. Much thanks.

[hankkaufmann]

Thank you for another GREAT video. You are the ONLY reason I purchased my UV-5R’s. Please keep the videos coming

[carolriley]

Cannot thank you enough! Because of you, i am learning how to use my radio. Super informative 😊

[dmolmsted]

Thank you - I have read the user manual many time but being a very dyslexic person it becomes very difficult task - - so - - thank you for this basic understanding. TTFN

[YAHUSHUA-bv]

Thanks buddy. I'm a nookie with a uv 5rM, and bought two PRMs too.

The little basics radios we're set to go, but on ctcss codes so I couldn't hear my uv 5r but it could hear them, as an ameture found this video helpful as now set the 2 minis to zero and all three can communicate, and feel confident that this advice should be sufficient to stay safe on excursions until I've studied a bit more, I'm happy for now.

[Uniontin]

I have watched all of your videos intensely, I can now fly the shuttle. Thank you.

[NeuronScars]

I have to thank you for my first ham radio, it felt like something was missing in my life, it was all these type of radios, love your videos.

[gungrabber]

Gen Xer here, who's attention span has been decimated by the modern age of reels and memes.
I truly appreciate the shorter videos which are packed with important info concisely presented.
Thank so much.
