I need a frequency radio for Airsoft with an earpiece.Does the cd have necessary software to be added to radio or can I just program manually?

You can program the radio manually with the keypad. Either direct entry or scan a range of frequencies until the signal is found.

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.

Beware of the counterfeit Chinese cables, which generally cost under $20. You will likely have driver problems (http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php) especially if you are running Windows 10. (http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_DriverAlert.php)

The software that comes with the cable is pretty simple. The problem with a program that would autopopulate the radio is you probably wouldn't be in range of the stations. You should look up frequencys

There was a software CD bundled with mine. I found the disc unnecessary as the device worked "plug & play" for me.

Just make sure you have the right file format. I tried but it didn't work. Radio is really cheap.

Can you explain how it will work? The cd is required to to update the original radio system but the radio has no cd changer ?

NO, not as a TV and FM radio. It is used extensively here as a general purpose wideband receiver with special drivers and software. You will need a driver program called zadig, and either of two of the most used computer programs, ie; SDR# or SDR-CONSOLE. The best place to find the software and installation instructions is from the Yahoo groups with the same name as the software.. GOOGLE is your best friend for this...

No this does not come with software. Avaiable softwart is from the 409shop and is free, BF-480. It is a little testy to set up, make sure that you choose the english version and the correct interrupt for the cable required, also available on e-bay or the 409 shop. There are plenty of youtube videos available to help with programming and setting frequencies, etc.Rudi

I use a software package called SDR # (SDR Sharp) version 1.0.0.1328. The is available for free over the Internet. DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE ON THE DISK SUPPLIED WITH THE HARDWARE! If you already installed it, delete it. Note that this will basically only give you FM channels. I'm still working on trying to get airport station towers, etc. Hope this helps

No, you need a Spektrum receiver for that. This is only for Tactic radio systems.

It comes with Virtual DJ LE CD, which you'll have to download for it to work. Cheers!

do you have the software for the wouxun? I add the freq. and it took it. also set freq in radio to make 5khz steps.

I purchased it for my bugout bag, so when the software didn't as planned work no biggie. I entered all channel settings manually with just the device itself. Bit of a pain and somewhat time consuming, but if your without a computer and need to adjust something, you'll be grateful for the experience.

You shouldn't. First and foremost, ensure that your computer has the necessary power to run the program. RF7 is pretty fast moving, and needs a fair sized graphics card. If that criteria is met, charge your radio battery, leave the power switch OFF, plug the supplied interface cable in and rock out.

You need to use the specific software that is made for this radio. The problem is that the software that comes with it is not the right software. The other problem is that the drivers and software will not work with anything above Windows XP! You need to map a COMM port to a USB port. When you do so, it locks up all your USB ports and disables them. I remember having this exact same problem when we had to start using USB to serial converters to program CISCO routers. It locked them all up. I found this radio useless and un-programmable and have since gone back to using my Yaesu VX-7R. This radio now serves as a great paper-weight.

No, a programming cable and a computer with the proper driver, software and USB is required. It takes some research and the right operating system to work properly. I programmed my radios to frs radio frequencies and the work great.
