Hi Guys -
New member here. Just got my technicians license back in April (both wife and I), but we haven't been on the air yet. Still trying to get our equipment set up. Going to try to get our general over the winter.
Anyways, I have an EVX539 that was purchased back in 2016 ish and was programed by a company that is no longer in business. The original purpose for the radios doesn't existing anymore and I want to repurpose it. I want to get the software/programming cable to see what was all done on the radio and make changes. As I understand, there is an old display and new display version of the software. I believe I have the new display and was wondering if anyone could confirm that for me from the picture?
I'm also wondering if there is a way to hand-input a frequency say in the 2m band to try and get repeaters in my area etc. I can't find anything in the manual that shows how to do that. I know I can't reach out very far with this rig, but would like to play around and see if I can tag some repeaters with it.
I appreciate the help and any input you guys might have. Thanks!!
