You're obviously going to be an unlicensed/illegal user of those radios. Don't expect help here, unless it to help you get a license.

Hello, so me and my neighbor just got the 2 way baofeng-uv5F radios and we got it to where we can call eachother on a specified channel he preset but i would like to add police frequencies as well. I got the cord, disc program for chirp and have the gist of it down 'i think' lol. Is there anyway i can make a csv file from the frquencies channels i find on the website? Or should i import or query from data source of repeaterbook and is politcial or proximity search better for finding all the channels?

Also what settings do i need to set my radio to for picking up frequencies? Theres just so many options for each channel/ frequency i pick im just not sure what to do or if theres an easier way to import a csv file of all the frequencies/channels from that site to something like excel and transferring it to chirp? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
