I have recently purchased some of these radios and need someone who can program them. I have programmed other radios but can not find out anything on these. I am just looking for someone to program them for me. I called all the local radio shops and no one has the program to do it. I would even purchase the program to do it if I knew where to buy it from. Anyone out there that can help me?

Ok, I bought a copy of ProGrammer 18 and have my cable on the way from RfGuys. I have been playing with the software and have found it very confusing. I am wanting to simply program them to transmit and receive GMRS/FRS frequencies. I have never dealt with software this complex. I have used Kenwood software and EF Johnson, both of these were very simple and all you had to do was enter the frequencies and write to the radio. Anyone out there that can explain how to simply program these radios using Programmer 18?

Would you mind sending me a copy at kg4mav at gmail.com? I would like to compare it to what I am doing here. I am having a little problem with mine and not to sure where I messed up.

Thanks

Ok, so i got my cable in and got everything turned on. When I go to read the radio it says "Radio in flash mode, check connection and try again" I have confirmed i am using the correct comm port and everything. The cable sent to me by RF guys does not have a plug on it but just wires I have to insert into the mic holes. I followed the label and i think I have them in correctly looking at the plug and using bottom right as 1... Anyone ever have this problem?

Just an update. The guys at rf guys got back to me and said to leave the blue wire off. It worked. Thanks for everyone's help. Radios programmed and working great.
