* Uses either the two-prong spkr-mic jack USB program cable, or a standard USB cable to program (radio also has USB mini/micro jack).
* Radio does APRS-GPS, but on digital only.
* To temporarily mute the sub-band, press & release the BACK button (to the right of the arrow buttons)
* I've used this CPS program on a WIN 10 and XP computer, and did not need to load a driver.
* With USB cable not connected, run the program on your PC, and then power on the radio.
After it powers up, then connect USB cable.* Like many of these sub $100 DMR radios, the Groups listing and Digital Contact list are lumped together in one field.
* There is no "OK to Talk" beep at the beginning of a DMR transmission.
