Walt, thank you, that is not just on-target, it's a bullseye!

This is off topic, but you can look up an app called repeaterbook. This will provide some local frequencies for you to monitor.

 Craig,

 For the longest time, the only way I knew how to program my UV-82, was using CHIRP. The first video below lifted my blinders:


 I didn't have to much to start using CHIRP, other than roll back to a previous version of the driver, as advised on MILKOR, but the video below may help you.



 Hope that helps you get going.

Hello - I am new to ham radio and studying for my license as a casual user / prepper. I have 2 new 82Ls and have spent a great deal of time trying to find a video on YouTube that can get me up and running in the 28205  / Charlotte area. So far, I have been in Miklor and CHIRP but can't figure out how to find, program and enjoy my radio. I have loaded the correct cable drivers, downloaded my factory image and have found various lists of pubic safety and amateur frequencies; even donated to CHRIP.  I want to listen, scan and use as two-way while camping.  Is there a good reference, video or  otherwise that can help get me up and running?
Regards, Craig
