I have created and distributed software both commercially (from a big company) and personally (and free) from my web site. I know it is a "labor of love" but that means that is is truly "labor"! Thanks to the authors of this package for supporting so many radios so well. I know there are still some issues and there will almost always be such as features are added/modified. Please be nice to them when you find a bug or are asking for an enhancement. Thank goodness my users are generally nice and it is appreciated.
The software, like the radio (UV-5R), is a little complex and a "techy's delight" but, due to the documentation being available, did not take too very long to learn both and get them working happily together.
Now, after the praise, one little gotcha that affected me. I did not understand about the .img file needing to be created and was lost for a while, after creating my memories, on how to upload the data to the radio. The menu item was disabled and I could not find any "startup" doc to tell me to get the image from the radio, modify it and upload it back. I think I finally found some wording similar to that but it was not obvious and when first starting to use a new radio and new software, being obvious about first steps is a good thing.
Thanks again,
Mike Morrow
