Top 7 accessories for Baofeng UV-5r ham radio

The tips was awesome but the best part of the video for me was him putting a call out and he got a response so fast from a complete stranger and the conversation was as if they was childhood friends he sold me on this device 100% and gain a new subscriber

For a few days now I've spent my social distancing breaking Google with my new curiosity of ham. Your videos are the first I've seen that show a real exchange instead of quick contacts. Ham radio in action indeed, bravo!

As a relatively new ham with a UV-5R, I really appreciate this video, especially the excellent example of a friendly QSO at the end.

Thank you. I take my test in 2 weeks. I may be getting a Baofng for my first radio. I don't have much to spend.

This is fantastic! Picked up that usb cable. Had these radios for a while. love them.

Appreciate the info partner. I just started taking the plunge into ham radio stuff and the info you pump out is a life saver

Thanks for getting me back into ham radio: I just came across your video by chance when looking for an emergency radios. At 65 I sold all my station’s and dropped out of sight 15 years ago, I am now 76. I had no one interested in obtaining my stations so I found someone in need of them. Now I seen this video. I bought this radio with all the accessories and I learned I have to learn the these new radio systems all over again. ECHOLINK, what the heck is that....lol Thankful for youtube. My last 2meter was a Kenwood TR-2500 that says a lot, however I still have my Mosley TR-33 tri-bander still tucked away Thanks “73”. KX9J

It's not false. I was looking for a radio to listen to my local police. I bought this radio knowing nothing about any licenses. But after seeing your video I'd love to get the license! Enjoy watching you very much!

Number 8: The extended battery. It's cheap, makes the radio feel better in the hand and more than doubles your use time. I love that "a license" was one of your picks... needs to be said more often HI HI

Thank you for making this video. Great info as I start my journey in this hobby and you explained things very well! And watching/listening to you talk brought out the excited little kid in me (I'm 51 now lol)! Much thanks for a fun video!

Just ordered my first baofeng UV5R...been seeing alot of videos but urs always provide easy understandable data 👍👍 want to get into programming it into picking up atc but small steps first.

This was great to watch. Picked myself a UV 5r up couple of days ago after seeing another of your videos. Getting to grips with the menus and settings ect. Jusy listening in at the moment. Once the UK comes out of full lockdown I intend to do my license. Thanks for inspiring me. Cheers. Take care.

Dude, thank you so much for this video. I'm just so excited with the possibilities, it's such an enjoyable hobby. Been wanting to dive in since I was a kid and your video just gave me the final push.

thx for the video. I bought the Beofeng a few years ago and purchased the GMRS for me and the family to play with. Weve had alot of fun. HAM license next! Keep the videos coming!!

New to radio. Taking my test soon. You've been the most helpful of all the videos I've watched. Thank you

Great video! Awesome presentation as well! Loved the convo at the second half, lol.

After getting my own Baofeng UV-5R Mk 3, I quickly bought the official Baofeng USB programming cable (with a broken CD...), and clip mic/speaker combo. Being big in to electronics and having used CB radios in the past, it is exciting and fun to build your own antennas and even use additional devices for signal stability and monitoring. Now to just find the time to get that pesky license...

a great list - plus really love the demo, great work !

That was awesome Brian! Thank you. Subscribed! Please continue to make content and share. It’s much appreciated!

Glad I found you on Youtube. I upgraded my F8HP with a ExpertPower antenna on the recommendation of another Ham on Youtube and it seems to work great.
