Hello all. New to the board here.
I'm surprised how little information I can find online regarding the UV-8DR radio. The instructions that come with this radio are absolutely horrible and a pdf of the manual can't even be sourced online, at least not that I can find.
I would have thought that the setup and programming would have been identical to the Baofeng UV-5R's however that is just not the case. Regardless, I do think they're a decent rig for the price. Just need some better supporting documentation.
Does anyone else own one of these? If so, were you able to source some decent or better how-to's and instructions?
Much thanks in advanced.
P.S.
I realize these are lookalike Chinese knockoffs of the Yaesu VX-8DR and I respectfully ask that any negative commentary or opinions regarding that matter be kept to yourself. I'm just needing some help with what I've got.
