You know… I didn’t really appreciate the fact that you don’t have a 10min intro or any gimmicky crap until I get on some channels that I have to skip almost 3minutes into the video. Love what you do bro. Lol

OMG as soon as I watch this video I went and got my radio and did everything step by step. I'm new at this and have learned so much from you Randy. Thank You so much Sir.

I ordered my Coveted UV-5R radio from Amazon with Prime 2 day shipping and before I opened it up, the FCC was knocking at my door. I swear, the government is getting out of hand. They said they were charging me with a future violation that I was going to hit the transmit button without a valid ham license.

Just want to say, you started me on baofeng radios and most of the huge watt radios but you have helped me on the train tracks and got me back on rails after derailing bc I was confused. We all love you and boofwang becomes a boomwanger😂

Its been about a month now that I entered into the amateur radio hobby. After watching your videos for hours, also those from Ham Radio Crash Course and Ham Radio 2.0, I purchased a UV5R. Unfortunately it had a defective speaker and where I bought it only had UV82 as a replacement. It seems to be a great radio, but there aren't many videos available for it. I loaded all the frequencies from the UV5R into it using CHIRP - after a factory reset - and it works great. Your videos did help me with many things and I look forward to watching more from you. And any "Sad HAMS" can go kick stones, their own if possible 😃. Stay safe and vigilant.

Another great video. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge of the Boofwang radio. Mine are all set up to the right number of mygigglehurts, thanks to your help. Keep'em coming!

Love the antenna grabs!!! And the shirt is one of your best so far! I wish I could get away with wearing that 👍👍😁👍 The first reason why I bought my UV-5R last October was to use as a scanner and to listen to what's going on around town like the fire department.

Keep Making Videos Mate! Always Entertaining And We Learn Something New About Our Baofeng's!! Rock On!!

Randy, thank you for all you share. “Some People” is such a perfect term!

Just bought two of these to go with the Midland 575MX in the trucks. It's your fault if they suck, Randy 😁 Thank you for the great content and entertainment...just learning GMRS - was a CB knucklehead in the 70's so I gots lots of catching up to do! Just a ham for now...hoping to be a happy ham soon 🐖

I've had my UV-5R since 2014 or 2015 and use it as an ad-hok scanner in addition to my Uniden HomePatrol scanners. Thankfully, my county dispatch in Central PA is still analog along with some neighboring counties. I find that it receives much better than any scanner when using the standard rubber antenna. I love mine.

What a great channel you put things in to what most people understand thank God there are people out there like you, cheers for putting things in the way most people get, Alan from ENGLAND 🤔👍

Your sense of humor cracks me up man, so dry and so good.

I really like this guy the more I watch his videos, thank you for wearing your very "clear" shirt!! I love it!

Just got mine today, what perfect timing. Thanks for your amazing content.

I really appreciate all the videos you've made and are making. Very helpful and informative. Thanks so much buddy! You're awesome.

Your video editing skills are killer. Keep up the great work!

I would like to thank you I went out and got a uv-5r and watching your videos I was able to manually program my radio without using chirp because I do not have

I just want to say your videos are great and I appreciate the info you are sharing. Also have me laughing sometimes. Thank you

Just bought a baofeng BF-F8HP, and have been watching a lot of your videos. Really appreciate all the information. You're passive-aggressiveness cracks me up though

I love the contentious relationship you have with your commenters. It's almost as if they comment to be famous. Love it though!!

Thank you, Sir. I'm using you and yours the most to help me untie the Gordian knot that is my new UV-5X3.

Finally someone who speaks my language. Nice shirt. Thanks Randy. Very helpful (again).

Thank you for the direct clarification. 100% effective communication.

Just got my baofeng uv 5r8w and I’m surprised at how well made it feels, feels very solid. Can’t wait till I fully understand how to use it

Great vids. I still have not figured out how to enter 60MHz and start scanning from there. Your music led me to Camera Conspiracies. Love this type of humor

I am so relieved to know that when you transmitted on a non-ham frequency on a ham radio without a ham license I heard the "chirp" of the Chinese "Commissar of CHRIP" and know that you were spirited away into ..... the cosmos. :-)

Tomorrow I get my adapters to connect my tb5r in my car. I have a usb charger for the bigger battery as well as a speaker so I can hear it batter.

Your shirt is giving me life right now 😊

A very nice tutorial, and I love your humor. ❤

Imma have to post this useful info on the “Boofwang” subreddit. Can’t wait to tell them where I got it from!!! I’ll be a hero!!!

Thank you for your awesome videos. Top notch work, man.

Thank you. I recently purchased a BOOF WANG to use as a scanner. I am technologically impaired and didn't know how to get to the CO setting.

It looks like your "pencil" may have Peyronie's... and mygiggleherz also. Thanks for all the awesome performance tips for these Bumfangers. You're the reason I started into this tightasstic hobby play time. Ham I gettin outta line 😭.??? Glad to see those hand modeling courses at the community Rec center are still paying off. As always great video and T shirt!!💯😎👍

🤣😂🤣 lost my drink when I read your shirt! I totally need one of those!!!

Love your sense of humor!

Randy, although you can be a bit harsh at times (which appeals to my sense of humor, by the way), your videos are interesting and I enjoy them. I am an old ham (think collecting social security), and when I had money coming in, I bought four Yaesu ft-60 handhelds, speaker mikes, improved antennas, and battery packs if no AC is available. You can clone one from another, and they can survive a LOT of punishment. I still probably would not have gone with Baofeng if they had been available. But I did buy one to mess around with. I'm not really terribly impressed, but they certainly were cheap! But so were the Yaesus at the time.

Ps I’m going to order one and a tidradio because I have enjoyed your videos so much.

I can already feel the sad hams seething bc of you holding the antana 🤣

Have you used a UV-82HP? If so what do you think about it. I chose it over the 5r and wondered which one you think is better. Thank you for any feedback and thanks for your videos as I enjoy watching them and the information you share!

The shirt!! 😂🤣😂 I love it

Love that T-SHIRT.

This video helped me out a lot, mounting an external antenna to my truck for my UV-5R. I have decided to move the antenna from the back of the truck, to the cowl, infront of the A-pillar. Can I coil up the extra cable, or would I be better served to purchase a shorter cable? Thanks!

Love the T-SHIRT.

I came here looking for the people he was "triggering" his the antenna holding and sadly I didn't see any of these "pro" antenna police. Love your content!

Hey Randy, don't let those moments consume you, move on and let those baby cry do what they do best cry, keep doing what you doing, I love your videos, reddit can go and fudge themselves

I love your background music. It really adds to the mood of your videos. I went to Stern Beats to try to find the track(s), and I found Wolf Pack, but what other tracks do you use? I tried listening to your vids on my iPad while searching Stern Beats’ music on my iPhone, but I could only match up the one song. Admittedly, it isn’t easy listening to three audio tracks (your voice and two soundtracks) at the same time.

That beloved Roger beep at the end 🙏

BRUH I always look forward to seeing the hilarious shirts and other spicy nuggets he leaves around in his videos. Lol

I really like that tshirt.
