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!

Love the channel, man!!! Especially the shots on 'the experts' and 'sad hams'. It's like they just set themselves up to be called out for stupidity. Thank you for doing so. Hahahaha.

We use these on our search and rescue team and that little alarm is great. If something happened to one of us that may be the only way we could communicate 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!!
