I go over the menu system for the Baofeng UV-5R, show you how how to use the menu system, and I explain what each menu option is and what it does. The menus and options on the Baofeng UV5R are similar to other radios such as BTech, Retevis, Radioddity, and Wouxun - Both ham radios and GMRS radios. Once you know how to use the menus on a Baofeng, you should be able to pick up most other radio and use it's menu system.
CORRECTION! When discussing Menu Option #23, "BCL" - I mis-spoke when I said I like to keep BCL set to "on" - I meant to say that I like to keep it set to OFF. My deepest apologies for letting you down, but after all, I am only human.
