<p dir="ltr">Hey Bruce,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have a UV-5R and the Baofengs are all mostly work-alike. I have found that the most useful information on the these radios comes from the highly annoying but useful YouTube channel: <a href="https://youtube.com/@thenotarubicon?si=V7HTx7LQbbPf4fzO">https://youtube.com/@thenotarubicon?si=V7HTx7LQbbPf4fzO</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Yes he is annoying. A bit of an acquired taste, but a font of useful information about cheap handheld radios including the Baofeng line.</p>
