Another good one, Steve! I need to write these down. I'm sure I'll make
good use of them.

>>> Inspiration struck last night. It may save you a step or two when =
>>> programming channels into the UV-5R from the keypad.
>>>
>>> Briefly, instead of typing in the transmit frequency each time, just hit

>>>
>>> More specifically:
>>>
>>> 1) Select the band you want, i.e. VHF or UHF.
>>>
>>> 2) Type in your repeater frequency.
>>>
>>> 3) Set the appropriate offset amount:
>>> Press "Menu", "2, 6", "Menu", "0, 0, 6, 0, 0", "Menu" for VHF or "Menu",
>>> =
>>> "2, 6", "0, 5, 0, 0, 0" "Menu" for UHF.=20
>>>
>>> (Unfortunately, since you can only program from the A VFO, and offsets =

>>>
>>> 4) Set receive CTCSS or DCS codes (menu 11 or menu 12), and transmit DCS

>>> 5) At this point, you should be able to access the repeater, assuming =

>>>
>>> 6) Press "Menu", "2, 7", "Menu", a three digit channel number, then =
>>> "Menu" again. You'll hear "Receiving memory".

>>>
>>> 8) Press the "Scan" key. (Is it labeled something like REV/Scan"? I =

>>>
>>> 9) Press "Menu", "2, 7", "Menu", your three digit channel number (same =
