The class will discuss the capabilities of the Baofeng UV5R and Similar radios along with the Wouxun UVD1P radios (they are very similar to each other).  We will walk the menu structure of the radios, discuss optimum settings, discuss accessories and antennas, and build a quick field antenna that will dramatically improve the performance of your radio in the field.  Finally, we will do some field practice, so dress for the weather.

VGS will be hosting our close quarters clearance (CQC) 1 fundamentals class at ASC April 15 from 9am-3pm. In CQC 1 students will learn the fundamental elements of moving tactically in and around rooms and spaces that contain an active threat from SEALs who have experienced it in combat. Students will learn these tactics individually performing 1 man clearance and then 2 man clearance. This instruction will involve an in depth classroom portion with power power point slides and videos with VGS instructors giving examples of real world combat missions that changed the CQC tactics that the SEAL teams formerly used to what they use today. After the classroom on the range students will apply these principles and clear rooms with paper targets using UTM paint ammunition.

The cost of the class is $250.
