only issue is what frequency do i need to turn it on to to find people
in my area.
Accidentally saved too soon.
There are 2 way to use this resource I recommend the app if you have a smart phone. Repeater book. If not you can use their website. The app will search based on your GPS location to find the nearest repeaters and is configurable. Swipe down to refresh if your moving and using it.
The website you will have to manually enter the coordinates or search other ways. Remember to narrow down the search to the bands you can access with the radio and formats. For example if you bought a radio that doesn't do DMR or fusion or any of that do not select that. This will get you the info for the repeaters in your area.
One more way to use this awesome resource, is with chip Look up your radio's Model and see if it is supported by chirp. If it is install the "Chirp Next" version as that is the newest one. It's python so even a pi can do it. Hook up your radio with its programing cable. Always back up the radio first and save that. Then edit the file and save it as something else. This way you have the exact format of the radio. There are plenty of youtube videos on this. Afterwards you can just enter them like a spreadsheet or use repeater book to collect the info and add it to the radio.
If you need more help feel free to call me 612-328-1730
