You will need a programming cable and software from Motorola. Motorola generally only give the software to vendors.

It is expensive to purchase the equipment necessary for programing unless you are dealing with large quantities of these radios. I can recommend a great inexpensive programing service if it helps.

you can preset the radio stations on the deck itself Internally... also you can control the presets from the remote control it allows u to flip threw them...

No, not this radio. you need a mode 1 radio for that or a radio that allows such programming.

yes, you will have to program it. I suggest watching this youtube demonstration : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBQrinVNOyI

Yes, I did it a few weeks ago. Much easier than programing assuming your current one is already programmed.

As far as I know you can not scan any channels using the manual or key stroke mode. The only way you can is to reprogram the radio using Baofeng's provided software. I have done this many times and it's not that difficultonce you get the hand of it.

Yes, you should be able to. Check out www.programyourremote.com for instructions.

I never had to "program" the iTrip. When I plugged it in, it picked up the best station. You can change stations, and it will pick them up, as well.

Yes, it's very easy to program. Basically all you need to know is what kind you need. Meaning the 10 key or 8 key. Once you figure that part out you can program it yourself by taking the back off and putting in your code.

Larry; The Baofeng 82-X can be programed manually through the keyboard. However you need a copy of the manual. On the web there is a .pdf copy. However you also need a reference to find out what the various components are such as offset(for reperaters), CTCSS, etc. You could still program in simplex frequency's only into the radio. These would require only keyboard entries. The easy way is to use a program such as the Boafeng software or CHIRP also found on the web. However they would require a programing cable to go from the computer to the radio. If you go that route there are several reference programs that have information on all of the frequency's in your area. I do not program the radio manually any more. Takes to much time. Good lick with this issue.

I have heard you can program them yourself, but im not sure. I had mine done by the dealership.

You can program manually. You need a programming cable and a cd that contains both the cable driver and the programming software for computer programming.

Hi GTK, Oh yeah, the whole radio is pretty easy to program if your familiar with how to use this type of receiver. If not, a full manual comes with, but it's not hard at all. Dave

Yes you can use only the keypad to program freq. The software to my knowledge just allows you to name the programmed frequencies ex. Fire north, law north, etc

Yes! I'm using this product rigth out of the box. No programming needed. Programming needed for fancy stuff, like one radio can hear only other and so on. I haven't connecter usb cable to PC yeat, no need to do this
