I need someone to show me how to program my baofengs. Totally lost!!
Notarubicon on YouTube I don’t have a baofang but I still had to have help with programming my midland
I 2nd notarubicon on YouTube. His video walked me through my tidradio
@Zachrankin . According to Scadacore you have line of sight. But it will take a radio putting out more wattage that what a hand held will do. Also it will take a beam style antenna (yagi) and some height to clear houses and such around you. Also at least LMR400 coax. UHF/VHF is high loss so rg58 and variants will cost to much DBI The OKC 650 is 320 ft high. 40 to 50 watts on the radio....
I have a guy in Washington is doing it with 25 watts , but you are a little further out I believe. I did not dial that map completely in so you are a couple miles closer that the graph shows.

I listened to 2 guys talk this weekend 20+ miles apart one was on a baofang hand held using a repeater
Yep... It is amazing what that repeater will allow the ht's to do. Pretty sure I was listening to the same conversation. I bought a Tidradio TH8 because of all the great reports they get .
There is another user that flies a parachute and he takes his hand held , pretty cool some of the conversations he has.
definitely getting something besides the handheld. I got the upgraded whip antenna for my tidradio, I’m now getting to the OKC650 repeater from El Reno
CHIRP program and cable and youtube.
We dine in Glamis cal and use baofangs handhelds, we’ve talked with racers (Baja 250) in San Felipe mexico.
