Anybody have chirp and willing to help a brother out for a case of beer in SEPA? Asking for a friend who waited til the last minute to buy one

[Walleye Hunter]

I'm a rookie myself but I'd be willing to give it a shot. I do mine but I make no guarantees and you might drive here for nothing. No need to offer the beer though. What programming are you looking for?

Hell i think im on the way from them to see you walleye. I could program them with my list as a starter and probably put chirp on a flash drive as well

Is a config you guys can export? I'm never got my radios programmed. I have no freaking clue what I'm doing in Chirp.

If I knew what I was doing I probably could but I don't. Do you have the cord for it?

[WoollyPullover]

I didn’t order the cable yet. I guess I’ll just program my channels manually. The only ones I’d need chirp for are the weather channels but I have them on my cb. I bought 2 so figure plugging into a computer would save time and effort, not sure how much work is required using the app anyway.

it looks like they have the same radio listed for $29.99
But you have to use their software to bring the UHF freq up from 480.000 to 520.000
Not difficult to do. it give direction on the site. https://www.radioddity.com/collectio...-two-way-radio

for those who want to listen in on local air traffic, police, fire, ems, ect
click on this link below, it will take you to a page on the www.radioreference.com web

https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?stid=42

Click on your state, then scroll down to your county and click on it. scroll down and
the page will show you all the law enforcement, municipal , schools, airport frequencys.
the freqs with the higher numbers ( such as 500.66250) are UHF ( ultra hi freqs)
the frqs with the lower numbers ( such as 154.34000 ) are the VHF ( very hi freqs.)

if you buy a baofeng, make sure it has the upper UHF above 500
like
Frequency Range: 136-174 / 400-520 MHz or learn to hack it in chirp like i did on you tube.
And for gods sake buy the $6.99 programing cable.
Just remember to change the TX (talk) freqs to something like a GMRS freq, (467.7250 MHz) so you DO NOT
interrupt an EMS broadcasts when you mistakenly push the talk button when you pick it up.
