Also the tutorial and video on how to program your radio. Let me know if you have any questions, Thank you! already programmed all 5 channels. is it normal however that when you press the PTT button the frequency on the screen will change? i feel like my recieving frequency and my transmitting frequency are different. not sure if however this is how it should be. for example now i am on channel one and the screen shows frequency of 446.006.25 when i click PTT 462.887.50 comes up on the screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you made a small error. Which radio do you have ? Send and Receive frequencies should be the same. You might have programmed the send frequency as 446.00625 and receive as 462.8875. 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

You might have skipped a small portion. Just go through the Youtube video from the start and follow every step exactly. It probably went wrong in steps 6 and 7 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siddick Sait Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hi, Before I can read on Carnity about buying a radio, I ordered a Crony CN-988. Since it does not have a screen as recommended, I am not sure if this is the right radio for me. I want to know if this can be easily programmed or shall I just return this and order a new one? Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Hi @Siddick Sait that model can only be programmed with a laptop, special cable, and Crony software which is mostly in Chinese. So you are better off getting a model with a programming display. Baofeng UV5R, Motorola or Crony MT777 are all good models that are easy to program without a laptop and we have the programming instructions posted on the forum here. 2 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Thomas Varghese Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Boafeng UV-9R plus is better than the UV-5R model as interference is a lot less. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if it already exists - are there some forum discussions on CB radios somewhere? Looking to get one for my setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
