I got that part Brett, but how do you input the frequency's to the list is what I am trying to figure out. I cannot type in anything to the blank list...Just how do you do that? 73's Eric

I came across that information. Shame.

Apearently this will not work with the uv-5r series radios.

Ok. Let me know how you make out.

Ok, so you need to already have to have a manually entered list in the radio in order to add anything? something dosen't sound right. Shouldn't you be able to make a custon list then upload it?

I am not getting an error, But rather trying to figure out how to make up a custon list of frequencys and then upload them to the radio. When I click on "new" and the blank screen comes up How do you input manual frequencys to make up a custom list then upload them?

I agree. You could have almost four of them with all the trimmings for the cost of one of the big name HT's. I find allot of anomosity out there over these. I guess it stems from feeling "ripped off" for paying alomost 4 bills for a big name Ht. The other thing I hear allot of is them being...

Hi all, I am wondering if someone can explain to me how to use the chirp software? I have a list of frequencys and it will not let me upload it. what is the procedure? Thanks M.S.

Perhaps removing the screws and applying some locktite may be in order as a cheap inusrence policy. Maybe I will try one in the future. Thanks for the info. 73's

intreagueing. How heavy is it? The sma connector is only held in by two screws that are a little bigger than eyeglass screws and the metal backing plate (heatsink)appears to be a potmetel (cast zinc) I would think over time it would work the threaded holes smooth allowing the sma connector...

So how would you compare this antenna to the Nogoya na-771 that everyone seems to be raving about? I also wonder how it would compare to the commet, and diamond versions of antennas for the Boafeng?

Could you explain how you set the antenna for both 2 and 70cm? Or do you just pull it all the way up? Seems that you would also need a sma female to bnc male adapter.

Interesting. Looks like a telescopic homebrew.

More than likely.

I find this very intreagueing. The reveiws I have read it would seem a 50/50 split on performance between the two. And specifically this performance was on UHF rather than VHF. This is what I am concerned with. I will have to see how well it does when it comes in as compared to the stock antenna...

The uv-5re that I have dosen't appear to suffer from any of the before mentioned issues. the volume goes all the way down and the desplay dosen't appear to be bothered by heat. In the end the only thing that matters is that you are heard and heard well. For what the Boafengs do for the price...

The Nagoya na-666 has the same gain rating as the na-771 but is half the length. It will be interesting to see how it does.

Maybe this will help you.... If the battery is made by Boafeng then it will work. If it is made by Expertpower or another off brand then it will not work without some plastic case modification.

The low audio issue seems inconsistant. If I dont use a speaker mic on it I am being told that the audio is way to low.

I have heard of the Nagoya 771 and have read allot of reviews on it. From what I can see longer isn't always better. It would seem that it works well for VHF, but UHF performance is about the same a the stock antenna.
