What is this thing?

[WSEL330]

I purchased this thing a long time ago before the learning curve kicked me square in the...yeah. I was that guy that bought a radio for something other than GMRS freq's (no, not you guys...frequencies, well you guys too). I recently got into HAM license which this thing is for. I have tried to look for videos and etc... for it but not an exact match to what I am see on the machine or manual. Obviously the instructions leave a little to be desired. Is this the same as something else which is in use now like UV5-R(M). I can basically operate it but want more info. Thank you in advance for your help.

It's a UV-5RM, same as a AR-5RM, and any other radio that looks like it..
What specific "more info" are you looking for?

Crap, umm....how to integrate into my enigma machine to take over the world or stuff I am too lazy to read, comprehend and try. Youtubes are more fun. I am sure it will come up as I get bored and understand its limitation or my own mental short falls. BUT thank you for not calling it crap right outta the gate.

Do not confuse me with "some people" who apparently only come here to try and make themselves feel better about spending way too much money on their toys by making fun of or demeaning other people's toys.

No, Sir, I am unfairly projecting my inner instincts on to a noble Matriarch. I am profoundly embarred by my profiling of CCR's. Please find it in your stony little heart to forgive a peasant....No, I realize you are an asset to this community and appreciate your dedication to help. I have struggle with programing a repeater but only invested a short time doing it. I am refamiliarizing myself with the machine and manual. This started way back when shinola was equivalent to feces to me.

@OffRoaderX did I miss something? I didn't see you call anything crap. Or was there a ninja edit? LoL

Read the back and forth again. Just adding humor as I sit here at work and ponder my existence.

Just another matrix program, you aren't really even here.

I realized that after reading the manual. The Mandela effect is kicking hard because when I posted, I thought I had questions and then Randy asked and I was unprepared and stymied. The information I craved was now gone...Weird. My cravings for Maroon crayons has jaded my perspective on life as I know it...Maybe it is a conspiracy involving pork...or rubber ducks on a dash board...or phonetic language rotting my brain...DAMN, the world is too flat for this stuff! I'll be over here rocking back and forth with my aluminum wrap until I have to go to work again...lmao with beverages....
