In this video I show you an overview of the Baofeng UV-5R ham radio. Everything in this video also applies to other Baofeng radios like the Baofeng BF-F8HP, Baofeng UV-5X & UV-5G as well as rebranded Baofeng radios like the TIDRadio UV-5R and TIDRadio GM-5R radios.
I review all the buttons, and all of the basic operations of the UV5R.

I'm impressed! A guy that actually spelled Vise-Grip correct! Even that "Vice Grip Garage" clown failed that. I mean, how does one grip "vice"? Isn't that like embracing sin or bad behavior? Egad. No, Murica, that cast iron clamping thing on your workbench is NOT a vice. It is a vise. And, no, your local Crime Farmer LEO's do not have a vise squad. That is a *vice* squad.

This Happy Ham has several. The oldest is about 6, maybe 7 years old. The poor thing's lived a hard life, but it's still ticking. The backlight LEDs gave up the ghost a few years back and the volume control got scratchy (cleaned right up)...and the SMA antenna connector has come loose a few times, but the radio still works just fine. Best twenty I ever spent!

I belong to a small hunt club, and 3 years ago we bought about 10 of the F8GPs from someone who supplied them already programmed. None of us are tekkies, and all of us have our radios locked. So we don't screw them up. I just bought a back-up UV-5R, and was nervous about setting it up. Figured I didn't really need to program it for basic Send/Receive operation. Your video confirmed that, and provided clear instructions on what to do to get it working, plus how to manipulate it and the others we have, if we ever want to change anything. Much appreciated!

I agree! I have six (6) "Tidradio versions of the UV-5R and GMRS radios and have purchased numerous accessories for them, including 3800 mah batteries, *Tidradio blue-tooth version 1 and version 2 wireless programmers, Nagoya NA-771, NA-320a (tri-band), and NA-771G (GMRS tuned) antennas. The most impressive addition so far has been the NA-771G for my *Tidradio GM-5R GMRS radios which reduced my SWR readings to nearly perfect @ 1.01 :1 - 1.05 :1 throughout the GMRS spectrum.

My collection of radios has grown now from no radio to a lot of different radios. I now have a TD-H8, UV-82, GC-5, UV-K5, TP-5R, GT-5R, RT-470X, BF-H6, as well as 2 UV-5Rs and 2 UV-5Gs. Then there is the 15 UV-5Rs I have in my closet that I’m giving to my friends and family for Christmas. My significant other says she blames you for this new hobby.

I'm listening to you for the last hour, you're both verbose and terse, which is interesting, you also relay the information clearly without bs annoying editing and distractions. Anyhows, I'm a software engineer and I have 0 knowledge in frequencies and radios, I just remember as a kid that my friend's dad had a big fat radio thingie with bulbs on his desk and he would show us some amazing things from live communicating with people around the planet (I guess that's called low freq, right?) to listening on weird recorded signals and cryptic messages (like directions or something). In anycase I'm looking to get into it.

My first thought was another UV-5R video? What else is there to cover? But I had time to kill with my coffee and watched anyway. Guess what, I learned a few more things about my radio, and not just the UV-5R but my UV-9G and UV-9R as well. Keep up the great videos!!

There are far more Ham operators that do or have used a Baofeng radio than most any other radio. You are right Randy!
