Going far beyond simple programming or what's written from the Amateur Radio perspective, this manual goes in-depth on how to communicate, creating a communications plan, improvised wire antennas, digital operations and encryption in an easy to follow, step-by-step format based on combat proven methods. Whether you've just invested in a few of the inexpensive radios for an uncertain future or find yourself in rough corners of the world, this manual covers how to create communications where there otherwise would be none. Review: How to operate & use the radio, lots more info and it's in a large print size what's not to love? - I've taken his radio class and got this book expecting it to be a recap of that- it certainly overlaps with some class content, but this book appears to me to be a new written-from-the-ground up effort that builds on and then adds to what has been put out in his classes. (That is, it's even better than I expected) There's very useful and in-plain-English info specifically on the Baofeng UV5R and what all the buttons do, what all the menu choices are and mean, and that alone is worth the book's price. But there's much much more, including lists of various frequencies and uses, solid information you'd need to begin deciding which frequencies to use whether you have an FCC license, or don't. There's at least a chapter on setting up a communications plan. This also on it's own is more than worth the cost of the book. You can get some of this information from various FMs and military pubs, but just doing whatever military commo guys doesn't really make a lot of sense. This book explains the reasons why things are set up a certain way and you use the parts of it that make sense for what you're doing. i.e. if you're using the radios as car-to-car radios for a long trip in several vehicles, your needs will be different than if you're using them to coordinate several groups on a weekend hike. I'm going by memory on what's in the book and am mostly done with my first scan through the book, but it already has exceeded my expectations. If you want/expect to use handheld radios for communications, you really should get this book even if you already have an amateur radio license. A good find! Review: Must have for Baofeng hand held portable radios. - Excellent book for the Baofeng radios that is a must read book to master using the radio. It's well written and uses plain English and not a ton of technical terms. Easy to get through the book over a snowed in weekend when it's in the single digit and below freezing outside. If you have a Baofeng or are thinking about getting one you want this as well as if you are an old pro with the radios. I have my marine radio license back when I was working on the ocean running charters to running boats for a local salvage company and tow company but that was 30 years ago and it taught me about the advances in the tech as well as proper use of a land based handheld radio. I got the radios for the family to stay in contact out at the cabin where cell phone service is sketchy at best as well as in bad weather like blizards now that we live in the mountains and no longer at the beach. Lol but it was a very interesting read and I wish they had a book Luke this when I was getting my Marine radio license way back in the 1990s. It would have made things much easier and I would have known far more than I did from the class I had to take to get it and keep my 100 ton masters license valid. This book will cover everything you need to know for you to master the basics and then go for your entry into Ham radio license class and licensing test. That is necessary to operate a ham or cb radio other than for emergency use. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #35,716 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Antenna Engineering #10 in Radio Communications #10 in Radio Operation | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,822 Reviews | ## Images ![The Guerrilla's Guide To The Baofeng Radio - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61v0No1Bu5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How to operate & use the radio, lots more info and it's in a large print size what's not to love? *by N***R on December 9, 2022* I've taken his radio class and got this book expecting it to be a recap of that- it certainly overlaps with some class content, but this book appears to me to be a new written-from-the-ground up effort that builds on and then adds to what has been put out in his classes.

Wow, what a fantastic resource! Even though he's a new ham, this book has already proven invaluable. It's clear, concise, and packed with practical information about using Baofeng radios, which can be a bit intimidating for beginners (and even some experienced hams). This isn't just a technical manual; it's a guide to using these radios effectively, especially in challenging situations. It covers everything from basic programming to advanced techniques, including setting up for emergencies and off-grid communications. The focus on practical application and real-world scenarios is what sets this book apart. For serious hams or anyone interested in emergency preparedness and off-grid communication, this book is a must-have. Communication is absolutely critical in a disaster, and knowing how to use your radio equipment effectively can be a lifesaver. This book empowers you with that knowledge.
