Using a radio like yours is not complicated nor difficult - if you can read, you can use the radio and honestly everything you need to learn is right here in this forum, on other websites, and in Youtube videos.. Using a GMRS radio is not like becoming an amateur-radio operator - you basically turn it on, pick a channel, tell the person you want to talk with to put their radio on the same channel, press the button, and talk.. using a repeater is only slightly more difficult.
