But he doesn’t bash all hams. Yes, he rails against sad hams, but he has said numerous times that that describes only a subset of ham radio operators.
Unfortunately, there are ham radio operators who are jerks. They are rude or judgmental or impatient or too full of themselves or whatever and it comes through in how they treat others. Like bad news everywhere they’re the ones who make memorable impressions on people who are simply trying to understand a pretty technical hobby. His intentional use of the acronym H.A.M.S. is kind of a dog whistle
They exist in GMRS, shooting, probably quilting also. Every hobby that has a social aspect has them.
The one thing that binds these people together is that they become convinced that their hobby will cease to exist without their eternal vigilance as gatekeepers.

Welcome to the exciting and dynamic world of radio!
Just always be sure you write out "H.A.M." correctly.. "Some People" get really REALLY angry if you don't do it right: H.A.M. and will rant about it for hours about you typing it out incorrectly as if anyone cares. Never forget: H.A.M.

Congrats! I too recently got my license.
I would get The Guerilla's Guide to the Baofeng. Lot of get info in there on programming and how to make your own antennas, etc.
Some security stuff too, like how to do digital transmissions with your Android tablets.

Fixed it for you:
亲爱的宝峰: 我看到不久前你们推出了新的GMRS HT(UV-5G Plus)。它看起来是一个相当不错的升级,但我认为您再次错过了将一个非常好的收音机变成一个非常好的收音机的机会。我的抱怨完全在于菜单系统。 1. 为什么我们无法在菜单系统中更改/输入频道名称? 2. 为什么菜单系统中不能设置某个频道是否可以扫描? 宝峰,我认为如果你解决了这两件事,你的收音机的价值/质量矩阵就会上升一个档次。 我真的很想买这台收音机来添加到我的收藏中,但我不想让自己感到沮丧。 感谢您的聆听。 WRPL700
