While playing radio stuff, I mentioned earlier in that I picked up a couple of these UV5R Minis. It actually works well. The version I found came with a little bit extended antenna. After my second antenna, the stubby is nearly useless. It comes with them, but they're not bad. They're not as good as the nice YSUF FT-5D, but they work. In programming them, they have a mode. You could use your phone. You could use chirp. You have to type everything in. Chirp isn't friendly to cut and paste. So I dropped the money on RT systems for this radio. It is different than the UV5R. It's a different software set. But then I could copy from one RT system radio to grab the whole thing, paste it in, it populates everything correctly. They don't like magic to do it. The one thing I'm doing, I'm just working on right now, is grabbing data off my Anytone 878. Obviously, you don't need the digital part. But ACS, because they talked about, somebody was talking about going up to one of the classes in Everett. And it is important you know how to enter a frequency tone offset manually, easily at any time. But Seattle ACS numbers their frequencies like V1, V2, and then H1 or U1, U2, et cetera, for what you can. I like leaving things in frequency order. So basically, if I got room in the memory, I put it all in once on a radio in order by frequency and then duplicate it by the number, as you can show the name separately. So I can have them sorted two ways and get quickly to whichever I need to be at. That's kind of the nerdy thing I was doing right now, just playing with that. But finding the right cables and the software on my computer, that's always a challenge. But it's working. That's about it, 73. I really enjoy tomorrow, W70H. W70H, K7WFD. Yeah, I've seen a lot of folks have been buying these little UV mini's. So did you say it does not work with sharp?
