    HRO here in Aurora I believe. Nice looking antenna. I am curious how the performance is. Because if its that good, I will be making the switch for sure.

    Awesome resource. I haven't started studying for my HAM license, yet, but bought a BF-F9 V2+ last year. I'll come back to this thread.

    I know of at least one person who has their license, and a radio, but has not yet figured out how to program or use it.
    If anyone else needs help with this, let me know. It's a very simple process and within minutes I can program our Colorado channel list on to your radio to get you on the air.
    You should still figure out how to work your radio but this can get you up and running so you can test your setup and actually use your license/radio.

    Yep, but just programmed once and no clue/ need to relearn how to do it to add the latest list we have in there.
    Oh and find that dam cable!

    Passed the Technician and General tests on Saturday. Missed 1 question on the Tech, 9 (max to still pass) on the general, and figured that was a sign I'm not ready for the Extra. :D:bananadance:

    What do you have for a radio?
    Do you have a programming cable?
    I would assume that I can program any radio that chirp supports if you have the right cable.
    I also have a programming cable for the baofeng HTs (plugs in to speaker/mic jacks) and one for my tyt th9800 (plugs in to mini usb type A)
