What mount did you use? I was looking at some at DX Engineering & HRO. I want to make sure it clears my metal roof yet be strong enough for our high winds in the mountain.
Thanks,

The red light issue is a known for the locked units. There isn't a fix. The easiest thing is to immediately turn the radio off & back on & it's no longer frozen. I have these radios to hand out for a SHTF time. Ideal solution, no. Practical, yes.
I've gotten permission from the NGA GMRS group for both Cades Cove & Blue Ridge, GA repeaters when traveling. When I put up base station antenna & if I can hit their repeater system I will join.
I purchased the Prepper Package from BTWR. Love the radios. They are my favorite GMRS ht's. My wife doesn't have a ham ticket so it's a compromise for her.
Which Baofeng? Also you must put your radio in Frequency Mode. Turn the volume (after cable is connected) too full and back off a little. Then upload your file to the radio.
