If you did a factory reset on your radio, then you will only have two
channels.
Channel 0 = 136.025000
Channel 127 = 470.625000

You only see channel 0 because the default memory range is probably set to
something like 0 - 25. Change it to 0 - 127 to see all of the channels.

Assuming that you are using Windows, the recommended file to download is
the .exe file with the installer. Get if from this address
