Mine will be here tomorrow, hand mic and car adapter showed up today, programming cable might not make it in time for WF but I have a friend who's a radio geek.

Nate, keep in mind that I know pretty much nothing about these, is there a way you can provide the file you'll be using to program to me so my I can ask my buddy to get it done ahead of time? If that's even the right nomenclature.

 

[87manche]

here's the csv file.

The -82 doesn't like csv files, just be warned. I had to use a chirp img file.

 

[97XJ2]

And that's the one I got, the 82.

 

[97XJ2]

But I should say thanks for supplying that link, I'll give it a shot!

 

[87manche]

The -82 doesn't like csv files, just be warned. I had to use a chirp img file.

funny thing. i went to program the second one that showed up and it would not take the img file. Different firmware.

I exported the list to .csv, downloaded the radio image and imported to the new image without any issues.

sucked because I had to go into the settings and check all the boxes.

so there's different firmwares floating out there. use caution flashing .img files without checking or you may brick it.

 

[97XJ2]

So some like the chirp better than csv, and vice versa?

 

[87manche]

chirp doesn't rightly care if you use a .csv or an img file, but the img file from a cloned radio has all of the advanced settings in it too.

the csv file is just a list of channels and names.


so just in case anyone was wondering about the potential from interference of not fcc approved configurations. We've discovered that channels 1-3 will turn on the paper shredder when keyed. Sometimes the letter folder too.
It's amusing.

 

[87manche]

May cause interference or unintended operation.

You definitely need to download from the radio before uploading. If you upload an image from the wrong daily build, bricked.

 

[87manche]

yeah, now that i have the csv file I'm just going to use that for all programming.

there may be some cute welcome messages too.

 

[scoobyxj]

I got mine a few days ago. Was playing around with it the other night, and i had it talking to my 15 Winterfest supplied FRS, and my Railroad radio. I could also hear the crew unloading the coal train at the AEP power plant about 5 or so miles from my house. These things are pretty cool!

bring radio with sheet attached to Thursday dinner.

I'll program them all that night, you can pick them up Friday morning @ registration/tech.

Since it's looking like quite a few to be done, this just makes it easier for me.

 

[seanR]

Sucks to be me, I wont be there until Friday evening.

 

[87manche]

accomodations will be made for friday night programming.

besides, yours is a special case anyway. Bring your extra channel list/offsets.

I'll show you how to put them in CHIRP so you can do it in the future.
