You will be much happier and not suffer from the Chinese knock off problem with the other chipsets.</div><div><br></div><div>73 and enjoy!</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br>Mike/KD6FTR<br>-<br><a href="http://about.me/kd6ftr" target="_blank">about.me/kd6ftr</a></div></div>

<div>Looks like my radios shall finally get programmed...<br>Checked the BTech UV-5X3, the UV-82HP, and have spent the remainder of the afternoon researching freqs and programming the Leixen VV-898S...<br><br></div>
<div>Need to order the cable for the VX-8DR (Yaesu), and the UV-50x3 (BTech) in the truck, but I see those in the list in Chirp, so I'm very hopeful at this point...<br><br></div>
<div>Perhaps it's time for good things to start happening here... FINALLY !!!<br><br></div>
