Good point Liveitup

Well done for getting the programming uploaded.

A tip: When putting your radio into storage, its a good idea to either remove the battery or to put plastic between the battery contacts and those on the radio. This prevents any possible discharge of the battery through the radio's circuits, some of which consume power even when the radio is turned off, and means that the battery will stay charged for longer. But the battery will naturally discharge anyway and its good practice to recharge it every 3 months or so.

The manual supplied with the radio is almost useless, and certainly will not give you any instruction on how to operate the thing..

If I can find the time, next week I'll try to put together an "How-to guide on operating" Hopefully this will get you started.
