I plan on doing that RSN. I already bought the radio, a little
handheld Baofeng UV-5R which my ham buddy recommended.

easy)

Black, so it's not so gaudy in discrete positions.


Red, so it doesn't blend in with all the others at a hamfest where it
may be stolen.

Got it! I found that only one of two available free programs works

your particular serial number & chipset.


What's wrong with the software on the Baofeng website?


BTW, do you know you can also receive FM broadcast with it?
