I bought one of these but have NO idea how to use it. LOL!:

Not that hard, assuming you have the proper license. Do a search on YouTube would be my first suggestion.

Get to know some local ham radio operators. They will teach you.

The newest thing I’ve seen is using some of the ham radio PCB antennas for use in drones. Wifi is a secondary application for them.

Lots of folks say those Baofengs are hard to use. I've found the opposite. Before you do anything else, however, I'd suggest getting your HAM license. Without it, you can only sit and listen.

How to get your HAM radio license in 7 days

That's where I started. I studied two weeks, only because the next available test time was two weeks away.

I have similar, and yes, it will drive you crazy figuring it out with the multi-function keys.

First figure out what you need to know, and learn the steps using the owners' manual

Search for info online if needed to understand it.

There might be info on youtube.

Seek out an "elmer", which is another ham (or more than one) for help.

Do you have a license?

Without a license you could find your self in Dutch with the FCC. Getting your license is easy.

But you need to to the English version of the manual for that sucker. I spent an afternoon setting mine up. It takes a little getting used to.

Baofeng? I got a pair, too. Working on my license.
