Thanks so much for the note Nigel. My wife and I will be sharing a license, as will another couple who are getting a license, and another volunteer member will be getting a license as well.
I’ll be using a Mac to work with Chirp. We’ve ordered three BTech V1s and BTech 50X1, as well as a Retevis RT97 from myGMRS.com and are looking for someone to write the Chirp files that we can upload into the radios so that they’ll all work together, as opposed to trying to program them on our own. Is this something that you might be able to help us with? I can get the channels programmed into the repeater from myGMR.com or I’ll see them for myself on Friday! Thanks again, hope to hear back from you! Steve >> On Jul 13, 2021, at 2:05 PM, Nigel A.
