    I found one asus one 10 tablet that has two usb inputs, but it looks large and heavy.

    Really don't want a Windows tablet or anything else with windows, any idea if you can put a different OS on a tablet?

    HRO recommended getting RT Systems software to load/manipulate files for the radio. Took some playing around in the software to turn off some presets the software has and get the file right. RT Systems CTCSS settings default to 100.0HZ and you can not adjust TONE settings until you turn off the presets. Other then that its nice software.

    Currently have a mashup of my original file on my Beofeng and the TW file along with some added frequencies for Utah and Arizona.

    Now to learn more about APRS so I can play with the cool kids. :D

    Is that a "Scan Gauge" display on your Tablet? What App (I am guessing) does that?

    So, when I'm on the local frequency, it shows the little green and red bars that there is traffic. But it's not transmitting any sound.

    I can tune in on the baofeng and there is traffic.

    I still get beeps and stuff, just no voices.

    So i reset the radio and it works again. I did notice that to the right of the frequency, it says fm and before it said V_ something.

    I was trying to activate aprs and must've messed something up.

    I just checked aprs.fi and my call sign doesn't show up so I'm guessing i screwed something up.

    Is there a way to change that or does it do it automatically? It must've been that vw one where it wasn't making noise.

    It usually does it automatically, the little red bar above it flashes indication auto. However you can manually change it by pressing the D/X button,between the volume knobs
