    Pardon the intrusion, but I just got finished with this:

    ==================================================================
    Baofeng UV-5R / GMRS clone-mode programmer (unofficial)
    Version 1.0 by Robert Wolfe (WSNK792, Grand Island, NY) ==================================================================

    It's a menu-driven win32 console utility I wrote since I was never
    able to figure out how to get CHIRP or Baofeng's programmer to
    display in English instead of Chinese. Written and built using
    PowerBASIC 10.03 for Windows.

    ... Platinum Xpress & Wildcat!..... Nice!!!!

    Strange .. I've been using CHIRP for my UV-5R for quite some time.

    But I daily carry my new RADTEL 880G instead and haven't played with my other GMRS HTs in at least a year.
