>>283817i watched tons of informative videos about it on YT and followed quite a few radio threads on this board for at least a year before i finally bought it.
i did research it quite a bit before hand to figure out which radio i really wanted and this was the one.
it came with a programming software bundle but the software doesnt run on my comp because it needs an older OS to run on.
I was counting on being able to program it through the software but now i guess i have to program it manually and i've never had a radio like this before so not sure where to even start
