Is there a more explicit user guide. Can not get radio to work, only clock.

Mine worked poorly. Contacted company directly and they immediately sent an upgraded version. Great customer service!!

I use the free CHIRP software. Very easy, works perfectly. Note: import radio settings from radio into the software first then change the settings, and save and upload back into the radios.

I have not yet been able to programme frequencies and other data using a PC. I have only managed to manually programme frequencies and memory channels

The only way I can display the clock time is to turn the little power switch to off. Somebody else said there was some type of screen saver that reverts back to the clock when listening to the radio. I haven't discovered how to do this yet. It's frustrating not seeing the Clock display while listening to the various stations. Otherwise I love this radio. I think a techie designed the clock rather then talking to regular users.

no the radio doesn't come with the clock feature the only clock is the clock on the menu on the top left you can lock it in as a screen saver.thethe only thing that you could do is have photosplay as you listen to music if you go to the menu it will play through all the pictures preset that you downloaded that's about it..sorry bro

I can make the radio play, but I cannot get the time to show CST. It came with a remote, but I cannot get it to do anything. The sound is fine! Everything these days is made too complicated!

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

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.

Just radio mode doesn't work? If yes, I don't know. If no & you are on battery, check battery polarity& age. If one is weak, radio will stop working.Hope this helpd

Sorry Jack. I did not have luck with it either. It seems the radio is the only thing I did have luck with.

when you turn off the radio be sure to lock it, the 'on' button is too easy to engage. can't remember how I set the clock but by now you've figured that out.

my guess is that you need to "program" it again, had a simaler problem and reprogramed it to the radio and works great now.Ranco

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