It is best to learn how to fild program the UV5R. The software is not as accessible as it could be and it takes more time to set up the software than it is to learn the radio. Use the miklor.com website to answer some questions. If yo wish some coaching, I am available. 73.

The document from Buddy was great. Where can I get the complete manual? This is my first HT I have ever had so there is a big learning curve. Any suggestions as to how to quickly to connect to a Repeater? I am a complete a novice. I need an Elmer LOL. I have connected the HT to my PC and can get to it by Chirp. Not friendly to JAWS. At this point I just want to be able to connect to someone and I will build on that. John KC2QJB ----- No virus found in this message.
