I'd pre-programmed (CHIRP cloned) it for him so he only needs to unlock and up and down channels.

Same here, I bought 2, got a license and downloaded chirp, wiped all ‘clean’, loaded the frequencies in and they communicate between each other as does a third now
other than what they are set up for as best I can, I’ve no real idea about the other settings that may or may not help

I have got a UV-82 and a UV-5r and I used the pre-programmed mate option.
Don't know sod all about them and do not really want to that is what friends are for.

Yep, that explains my situation to a point. I have the GT3 MkII boafengs. I don’t know how they work, I work with mechanicals, not computers. So I got the 4x4 guys I volunteer for to set mine up on a pre purchased licensed channel.
Happy days as they say.
I've a UV-B5 UV-3R UV-5R they are really confusing. I learnt via YouTube and CHIRP made a master copy once I managed to program one just used the master copy to program the rest.
I am not computer minded, but with a little perseverance and YouTube.
It really does seem daunting when you see all the buttons and menues CHIRP does make it easier and helps to give you a better understanding.
I've used my master copy to program a few other people's radios and to re program mine when I've lost a channel from pressing the wrong button.
The UV-5R is a good learning point and very popular and they are cheap enough £13.49 on eBay at the moment from a UK Seller bargin.
What you do with them is up to you I do not condone the illegal use
They are illegal if you transmit on PMR frequencies as they are over powered
You need a licence to transmit on them
You should not use the frequencies that come pre installed on the 888s
