    I'm often not specific when drinking.
    :drunk:;)

    Was cool on the net tonight.

    Still a bit disappointed that it wasn't via RF, but.. still good fun.

    After that I picked a random repeater and had a great chat with an AE named Scott.
    :yes:

    I do find it a bit embarrassing when I get tongue-tied though.

    Well, I must have screwed up somewhere, I cannot get my pc and radio to communicate. Going to listen the WH address and go back again.

    wildwest did you download and install CHIRP software?

    Here's a YouTube link that should help.



    This was posted today, and I haven't watched it yet, but Josh is a baofeng devotee, and has many fine videos on programming them.
    :handshake:

    Anything I can help with, just ask.

    Thanks a bunch! I think the CHIRP install might be the problem, tried to uninstall it to start over and error said nothing to install.Thanks a bunch! I think the CHIRP install might be the problem, tried to uninstall it to start over and error said nothing to install.

    wildwest did you get the UV_5R?

    It should have that radio in the dropdown menu.

    You may also have to find what com port the USB cable is using.
