Re: Baofengs
Excellent, got no problem scanning frequencies .
I always thought you needid to program frequencies in to it to work in first place.
So is the programing of frequencies for the 120 channel memory then.
Better get on an order one asap.
Thank you

Re: Baofengs
Intended use. I guess pretty much listening or shtf emergency use or contacting other .
Have no intentions of using one to transmit prior to shtf other than as I say monitoring ,getting used to the transceiver .
So can these be used for such without the programing then ?.

Re: Baofengs
Thank you all ,I may just give the baofeng a mis . No doubt a good little tool but I'm sure awkward to program manually if your not confidant or have computer to aid.

I keep reading 're programming so is this for more frequencies or channel favourite memories and repeaters only. Or have they to be pr...
