Hi,
I’m looking at ebay’ing a TK-5710 and want to understand the programming before jumping in. I’d be using it for mostly ham and vhf in the 150mhz (Baja racing). Maybe in the future also using it for SAR/fire work.
To program it, what is the best option? I see you can buy a cable and software online for <$100, but I’m assuming this software is pirated for that price? Is there an open source tool to program these or what is the best way to get real software?
Can these be programmed via the front panel? I thought I saw there was an option for that, but didn’t find a clear answer.
