Welcome. Another newb here too. Post any good information you come across here

I appreciate your help. Let me check out miklor and I will try programming using the menu. Thanks

Can it be programmed without the cable or do I need chirp and cable to do it?

Thanks Logan. I've tuned in and periodically hear transmission of only beeps/pulses. What is that? Edit: also just heard an announcement that I'm tuned in to x repeater. Very cool. I'll keep listening

There's a open access gmrs repeater locally available. I have the input/output frequencies. How do I get it programmed into my btech gmrs v1 handheld? Thanks for any guidance

I've been busy with work this week so did not make much headway with my research but hopefully some more folks will chime in..... I will however order the programming cable since I will need it sooner or later

Thank you both

Thanks for detailed post Joe. I will look into ordering the programming cable from btech. Do you know of any Videos or study material on how to program the radio?

Guess I will need to start figuring all of this out one way or another.

Thanks for that. radios come preprogrammed I thought. What exactly needs to be programmed?

Hello folks Dimitry from New Jersey here. Great forum and members, I've been lurking for a tiny bit. Just got my callsign and brand new gmrs v1 btech as a gift from my wife. What a cool little radio but I can honestly say it's a bit overwhelming for a total beginner. So far, I've only managed to tune into local noaa weather service and heard few spatters of transmission on few gmrs channels. Radio manual did not explain well what each of the functions are. I guess what I am asking you all is where can I go and educate myself enough to be able to use this radio to the fullest? I've google searched and besides this forum I've struggled to find any additional legitimate sources. Thanks
