2026 NEW YEAR KICK OFF RUN

[DirtHeadDavis]

Just pulled the extended battery out of the box I ordered 2 years ago for the NY24 run and never used..haha. Plugged it in and its showing full charge. Frequencies are in.

The big Baofeng battery is awesome! I swear I’ve only charged it once or twice this entire year.

This reminded me to order the software to program my radio for other channels. Thanks!

Are you talking about CHIRP for the Baofeng handhelds, or for the Midland hard mount like the one sitting on my dash?
Curious because that Midland has only ever been on 19, 20, and 21. Never tried to tinker with the frequencies/channels on it.

The one I ordered is specifically for the Rugged Race Radio M1 kit.

Chirp works so long as you have the proper cable for the device, I used the same cable on the 5r Rugged and Baofeng.

The midland cable for my dash mount model is no longer made so it's handhelds for the ease.

This reminds me, I need a new cable for mine, broke one of those damn pins last time I tried plugging the cable in.

Just dusted mine off from the 24’ NY run. I need to get a spare battery, mine never can make it through a full run.

Yeah I have CHIRP and cable for the Baofeng. Just never messed with my Midland. If that’s what Jeremy was programming I was going to see if he wouldn’t mind doing mine. If it even needed it.

Would you happen to have a link for that extended battery? My radio died like halfway through the run last year and couldn’t hear anything going on

I do have a CB still mounted in my truck, but there is never any English on it anymore.
Used to be the best jokes you would ever hear. Now just a bunch of yabbadabba.
