    You don't have to do any of this. Meet up with group, ask what frequency everyone is on and key it in on the radio. That simple.
    If you don't know what sxcall is for, you don't need it. :thumbsup:

    I got mine about a week ago. I did not get the cd. So I enter everything manually. Watched a 20 minute video where the dude just restored factory defaults and went through what he thought were necessary programming changes. It helped out a lot. I need to find a local ‘group’. Ive found weather and local pd but thats about it. These are some websites I found helpful from the video.

    Thank you Eddo for answering that. I read it and immediately thought that’s a question for you :fistbump:. To clarify, getting your license to operate ham teaches you nothing on how to operate or program the radios. Just allows you to operate it legally

    you might get lucky in some areas but most major cities are using some sort of digital system which these can't listen to

    Sac went digital a few years back. I think the freq band is in the 800Mhz range. But yeah, smaller cities and counties are still analog.

    Bumper forsure! I’d get armored up and then suspension tuned/swapped for additional weight and desired ride before locker. At least, that’s my plan.

    It what your looking for. I put a locker in first. Used spotter and checked my route for anything could hang me up or what could damage my rig. Had a buddy in front I could hook up to. The locker made a good difference
