o 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 properly.


This video finalizes the process of using Chirp software to program a UV-5R. It includes adding FRS, GMRS, MURS, and NOAA frequencies, Ham repeaters using the Repeaterbook function, and Local EMS frequencies from radioreference.com. Finally, I take all of the settings instructions and channel presets and upload them into the radio to make it a fully functional radio, ready for everyday and emergency communications use by any member of the Feng Gang.

I hope that you have found this to be educational. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments. Questions will be compiled over the next few weeks and answered in a future Q&A video. Thanks!
