BaoFeng UV-5R Dual Band 2-Way Radio

This device appears to be a quality instrument capable of receiving and transmitting many different frequencies. However, the instruction booklet that accompanies this is a complete disaster, written by somebody somewhere in a foreign country (China?) who does not understand the basics of giving guidance about operating a piece of electronic equipment. For example, to insert a frequency that you can monitor or transmit on, you have to push a button called menu, and then you have to push another pair of buttons for the numbers 27 so that you can be guided to a pair of lines that allow you to insert a frequency, and then link it with a channel. And then, to add to the mystery, if you want to REMOVE a frequency from any associated channel, you have to push “menu” again and another pair of buttons for the number 28 to allow the frequency removal from a channel. None of this is spelled out in directions, and it was only through the Internet with a couple of superb UTube links giving guidance down this torturous pathway that frequency programming could be accomplished. It is my presumption this system will work perfectly, but somebody needs to advise the manufacturers that they need to find someone who is competent and capable in instruction logic, and competent and capable in the English language, so that the directions might have a chance of being at least partly understood. The instructions, as delivered in a booklet, are a disaster. Without decent instructions, this piece of equipment is virtually worthless. Sadly, needed to return it for the purchase (through Amazon) of a pair of Midland radios which work perfectly.
