    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?

    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.

    Please be careful, are you offering to cut this guy's barrel down for him????? The same consequences can apply, please make sure you give him the legal guidance, not how to walk in the Grey Area.

    I understand and I'll give the guidance the best I can. Not to be a wise guy but who's doing what enforcement on this? Now I understand that if one is ignorant or trespasses on someone's repeater they could get nabbed but if a guy has a couple of Baofengs and uses them on GMRS freqs with his family, who's to know? How's he going to get nabbed?
