• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Ok, I have a Wouxun UV2d that a friend programmed the local repeaters in. Now how can I switch back to manual search and just turn my dial and check all frequencies?

Thanks if you can help!

The bad news is....You don't. The Wouxun HT's don't have a VFO, so you're limited to whatever frequencies are programmed into them. Study your manual, and practice the basic menu operations to become familiar with them.

The programming software is also a HUGE help, but it's to your advantage to know how to perform the basics unless you have a laptop to drag around with you to change the memories.

If this is your first HT, you would have been better off spending the extra money and getting something like a Yaesu FT-60.

Basically, got to 'freq' mode and start twisting that knob. That varies the VFO which this HT does have.

wow...

Tim,

Press the orange MENU key, then the green TDR key. This toggles the radio between "Channel Mode" (memory presets) and "Frequency Mode" (VFO tuning). I think you made a fine purchase, but I own many Wouxuns. :)

I stand corrected...I have an older UVD1, and the manual that I got with it sucks. I always heard there was no VFO on the Wouxuns. They are decent radios. Apologies all around....

I can go to freq mode on my 1D that is just like a VFO
