Next, i edited that same program with the frequencies I wanted, and uploaded it into the radio.  It really was that easy.  Then I plugged the cable into the radio I bought for my wife, and it cloned the radio.  Now all I have to say to her is "go to channel XX" and we can chat as needed.  Pretty good huh?  Paul
