Leonardelli is a longtime Baofeng user and enthusiast, and his book gives readers everything they need to start using their handheld ham radio on the air legally, safely, and effectively.

| The book details operating with the popular UV-5R, the rugged UV-82, and the DMR-enabled DR-1801UV. Using the Baofeng® Radio covers how to program and use these radios with only the front panel and built-in settings. It then elaborates on using the free programming software CHIRP to program memory channels using a laptop or home computer. Finally, it describes how to program the radio to communicate around the world using Digital Mobile Radio (DMR), which may be accessed through repeaters or mobile hotspots.
