As the club says in the link, the Baofeng UV-5R is a popular hand held Ham Radio.
I found this on the Chelmsford Ham Radio clubs site and it is pretty good for understanding the manual keypad programming and also the method via your PC

Hope it's of some use.

Re: Good simple UV-5R programming link
Our first 2 Baofeng UV-5R's arrived a couple of days ago and I'm pretty impressed so far with the £££'s over performance.
Just been monitoring on the Ham frequencies but have toyed on the PMR slots.
I was listening to a couple 25 + miles away that I received clear as a bell with the squelch set at 3.
Got my grand kids over today and will let the grandson play on the PMR channels to begin to get him use to how a radio works.
Being the driving force behind our family prepping I believe it is important that every member of the family unit should know how to take advantage of every tool which may get you out of trouble.
That Foundation Licence Now book is really good. I loved the way even one with mild dyslexia, such as myself, could read and understand with comparative ease.
I'm enjoying these radio comms threads and thanks for taking time to inform.
