Use CHIRP for programming software and you are good to go. Just Google CHIRP and download. After you put type the frequencies you want into the CHIRP "spreadsheet" the actual programming only takes about two minutes.
If you are buying these as a long distance set of radios you are making a mistake. They are reliable but have limited range which depends on a lot of radio propagation physics. A good rule of thumb is that if you can see the person with the other radio you will have solid comms. Now put some trees or buildings in the way and that might change. You just will need to experiment. Works OK between two cars traveling together, but don't loose sight of that other car. It can work inside some buildings between offices. It might work at the mall to keep in touch with "She Who Must Be Obeyed." YMMV.
They are great for what they are intended to provide: reliable short range communications at low cost. If that is what you want these should be good for you. I bought a package of two radios and they all worked as expected. They all programmed quickly and properly. I'll be using mine to talk to the kids while they are fishing on the other side of the lake.
They run at two watts, not more, but can be reduced for ... legal disclaimer, blah blah blah...
Happily scans up to 16 chosen channels. I have a combination of UHF frequencies programmed into mine. Used Chirp software from danplanet.com. Looked up popular frequencies on the internet. Eliminated the weak ones.
Well built, shock resistant and reliable. USB chargers are available.
Best bang for the buck.
A cheap radio that works and nobody is going to cry if it gets lost, stolen, or broken.
Easy to program using Chirp software and the don’t sound half bad.
