Review on YouRUSH Portable Ham Radio BF-H5 10W (9RUSH PRO) High Power Long Range Dual Band Radio IP54 With 2200MAh Battery. K2 Pin Port & YouRUSH Lanyard Compatible With Baofeng BF-H5 Handheld Radio by Mike Pettigrew

I picked up this radio on a whim and now I'm immersed in learning about HAM radio!The instructions are complete enough to understand what the device actually does, but there are so many programming opportunities that I wound up going to YouTube.I've learned that this is a great choice for starting HAM radio because there are literally hundreds of videos on YouTube teaching people like you and me how to program this thing. I accidentally ordered THE most popular starter HAM radio out there!And this radio kit comes with a quality programming cable. I've learned that not every BaoFeng out there does. So that's an additional $20 value right there.Even without downloading Chirp and using the cable, I was able to program my local police, fire, and harbor radio channels and set up scanning. It's awesome to be able to listen in.This is a lot of radio transceiver in a very small package. You are going to really enjoy this.
