![]() ![]() This is being talked about even more now because another mountain search and rescue unit in the neighboring county has just switched over to NX radios. We are seriously considering Kenwoods now so we can do our own programming. We had to go into the mountains and rescue a stranded snowmobiler this weekend who spent 24 hours stuck in a bowl full of powder he couldn't get out of and the TK-8180 performed flawlessly in maintaining comms with the county dispatch office until I arrived on scene to take the role of SAR Command at the incident where we use Motorola CDM 1250s. RT Systems has been at the forefront of amateur radio programming software since 1995 when we introduced the first radio programmer for the Yaesu FT-11. The only difference besides the band is that I couldn't find the 30w version in the condition that I wanted so I had to spend the premium to get the 50w version. I like the radio so much that I decided to also order the VHF 7170 as well for our VHF repeaters in the area and it is literally the twin of the 8180. So in this video, I show you how to program a single simplex. I have gotten the Kenwood software and I've programmed the UHF radio with all of our emergency frequencies and frequency pairs. In previous videos I've been asked in comments to show how to program radios/handhelds in Chirp. I suppose that since I'm still getting recommendations I should update the thread.
