I purchased one for a friend. I am disappointed that I cant change DCS codes and CTCSS codes from the radios menu. I have the same issue with sections "canceling". I purchased the programing cable and after a lot of trail-and-error was able to program the radio the way I wanted.
I have a Wouxun KG-805G that I use daily. The menus area a lot more simple and straight forward. Everything in the menus actually functions. After the price of the Retevis, shipping, and the programing cable, I'd suggest the Wouxun. It's more but not much more.
I change the DCS and CTCSS codes all the time from the front screen on my 76P.

Here is my review of the 76P. Ergonomically I slightly prefer it over my other radios. It definitely has potential. The problem is the software. It is supposed to be easily programmable through their software and cable. It is not! The password-less software is password protected. Even Retevis customer service does not have the password. I have gone back and forth with CS and they do respond in a timely fashion, but they gave me several passwords to try and they do not work. All I want to do is program channel names into the radio so it is easier for my family to change frequencies. The channel number is tiny and in a corner and hard to see. The GMRS V-1 is light years ahead in programming. The radio itself is good.
