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!
