I go over the menu system for the Baofeng UV5R, 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 misspoke 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.
