Thanks for the clarification on BF and for the file! That will be very helpful to get me started in using these cheapos without doing too many stupid things!
Take care, Nick KK6TYY

I had this same question but disagree with the manual suggestion in the
case
of Baeofung. Even they tell you CHIRP is preferred over their stuff

the website!
This is incorrect. You are confusing Baofeng (the manufacturer of Baofeng radios based in China) with Baofeng Tech (the seller of Baofeng radios based in the USA). They are not the same.
Baofeng (the manufacturer of Baofeng radios) does something about every other month that breaks CHIRP support for their radios. If Baofeng wanted their end users to use CHIRP, they would be more careful about the changes they make and what effects those changes would have on CHIRP.
As a new HAM operator all the terminology and technology focused
language is
not easy to absorb but you need to know all that Greek just get a basic radio setup so you can use it and gain experience. I think a good
technical
writer could really help the CHIRP documentation to be newbie friendly. That's not me :)
Anyways I had stumbled across a page somewhere on the interweb in the
last
week that described all the settings and I had meant to save it so I
could
use it as a reference but now I cannot find it. If anyone knows of the resource, please share!
I assume that you are looking for the file that I have attached.
Thank you, Nick KK6TYY
