Necessary Reading Material On Radios
BY Herschel Smith

At All Outdoor they have published a list of reading materials, which is necessary for me at least. It’ll be a good way to spend a rainy day or four. The Ham Radio Guide: UV-5R Basic Ham Radio Setup. It lists four articles on this subject.
- Part 1: Intro to Ham Radio and FAQs
- Part 2: Basic Radio (you’re here!)
- Part 3: Navigating the UV-5R Menu
- Part 4: Basic Radio Programming (Frequencies and Channels)
- Part 5: Advanced Programming (Repeaters and Tones)
It looks fairly comprehensive, and combined with the various videos I have sent to myself, this should keep my busy for a while.

Parts 3, 4, 5 all link to 404 Page not Found…
I am sad now…
You are correct. I’ll try to dig up the right URLs.
Try NCScout’s, The Guerilla’s guide to the Baofeng radio. It’s just came out. And is a best seller over at Amazon.
I wished he would write one on the VX-8!
Hosted NCScout at my place for two of his classes. He’s the real deal. I would highly recommend that anyone take his classes. Well worth it.
I’m hoping “Santa” gets me the book for Christmas… We’ll see.
hey Herschel…the other parts are no where to be found on the site…if you click on the writers name, they don’t show up under him…only the first 3, not 4 or 5…just fyi
Ditto what @WiscoDave says, NCScout’s book “The Guerillas Guide tithe Baofeng” is #1 on Amazon bc it’s worth getting. Even more worth taking his RTO class (I did)
