Hi GTK, Oh yeah, the whole radio is pretty easy to program if your familiar with how to use this type of receiver. If not, a full manual comes with, but it's not hard at all. Dave

The only thing I can tell you about this is that it is a very difficult radio to work with. It isn't an easy one to use. I have had to ask several people how to work with it and they all agree that it isn't one to get for a beginner or your first time use. I also recommend to get the software and cord that comes with the software for this radio. that helps with some of the problems I was having. I hope you understand what I am trying to tell you.

It does. You didn't say how you were programming the radio. I have all the channels filled on mine but I used the software to program it. Once you filled the 25 in the software you have to scroll down a little to see the next blank spots to add more frequencies from 26 on up.

While Baofeng radios can be programmed via the key pad, they do not program like the normal amateur radio HT would. They are difficult, at best, to program manually. The cable hooks from the radio to a PC. you program the radio with the PC. MUCH better! There is lots of freeware out there that works great. One that comes to mind is Chirp. Get the cable, it's worth it.

I use Chirp, in my opinion, it is better than the software from Baofeng. The radio is not listed, but use the UV-5R as the radio type. since they are basically the same radio.http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home

I have not used this option yet, but to my knowledge you can program your own waveforms. For more info you can download the English translation of the operator's manual, available at Amazon

I bought this radio for my sister, who had it installed by the Geek Squad at Best Buy. You might try calling a Best Buy or a Radio Shack to see if they carry (or look online on Amazon!)

I don't recommend this radio to anyone is extremely complicated to use ,I don't like the way it functions and the remote control that comes with it doesn't work,I hope I answer your question

Yes you can use CHIRP. It supports the radio also beofeng software works as well. Dont forget to install the USB cable driver software.

The radio no longer shows the Firmware version directly on the radio by using key combinations while turning it on. I have the latest nightly build of CHIRP and that doesn't display it either. --- If you have any specific ways to identify it, I will be happy to help.

Check out Garmin's website. There you will find a list of units that will be able to use the chirp and a few models that will only be able to see the chirp, but not make changes.

I had the same issue with mine. Had a friend use Chirp to get it to program, but after a while it would no longer connect to that and the radio completely bricked itself. I returned mine.

I have not used it for that but what I did use it for barely worked due to channel programming issues. At the parking lot it was fine on one frequency channel but when we got into the field and switched to another frequency channel it didn't work for some reason. If you do end up getting it based on someone's answer who has used it for aviary purposes, be sure to use a computer to program the frequencies. This radio does not come with a programming cable.

This is an amateur radio hand held transceiver. The frequency bands it operates on are 144-148 MHz and 440-448MHz. The problem I am having is that the software used to program the transceiver does not recognize the transceiver.

I'm on Mavericks 10.9.5. From all of the things I've seen online, what I used should work for you too. 1 - Search and install "KK7DS Python runtime". This allows the chirp program to work properly.2 - Search for and install chirp-0.4.1. Chirp is the software that allows you to configure your radio.3 - Search for and install "osx-pl2303-installer.pkg". You might get taken to a onedrive account, but it's safe. This is the software that allows the cable to work.I hope this helps.
