After programming and Wondering why I could not hear myself on another radio I realized the channels 1-30 can not be edited (fq) 30 and above can be. It's a mess but it is an awesome sounding radio. That was the main purpose for my purchase was the audio level and quality. I'll deal with the programming. I also got one of the RT29s (10 watts) and it is a nice radio but a pita to program.
