I'd like to "somewhat" unlock mine as well. I'm using the Radiodity GM-30 software (the only one that works as of now) and I can program tones and such, but all of the other memories are pretty much locked. The DIY memories can be renamed, but the TX/RX frequencies can't be changed. You can add some RX only frequencies into memory, but no TX that's not already programmed. I'd like to program in some repeaters local to where I travel along with appropriate tones, etc., but I'm pretty much stuck with the first 22 channels and RPT1 - 8, and just 1 set of each. I'd like to duplicate some frequencies for different areas and remove the ones I don't need.
It's a bit more frustrating than their older UV-5's that let you bounce all over wherever you wanted and program 10 channels with different tones and the same freq for every city you pass thru on a drive.
