*A working programming cable is required for your specific radio.* If you have a BAOFENG radio, please visit this Amazon list to purchase.
*Due to shipping limitations on this platform, you will be charged a flat rate of $5 for shipping even though the file is delivered via email. The cost of the service has been reduced to account for this additional charge. We apologize for this annoying workaround.
Make sure to read through the Radios 101 article for all the basics on radio operation and getting started.

Baofeng radios are for licensed amateur use or emergencies only. Do not use them as walkie talkies. If you need a license-free communication option, consider the BTECH MURS V1.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
BY PURCHASING THIS SERVICE YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:
By receiving this radio programming service you agree to operate the radio legally and follow all local, state, and federal laws. Aganzstore.com will not be held accountable for illegal transmissions, broadcasts, interference, or violations of federal FCC laws. It is your responsibility to study and understand the applicable laws, to obtain the necessary licenses, and operate your radio safely and legally. The radio operator is solely responsible for all transmissions made on the radio.
Baofeng radios are NOT type-approved to transmit on FRS, GMRS, or MURS (FCC Part 95) and should not be used as walkie talkies (DA 18-980):
(FCC DA 18-980) “Even if a two-way VHF/UHF radio OPERATES solely within the amateur frequencies, the operator is required to have an amateur license to operate the device and must otherwise comply with all applicable rules. The Bureau (FCC) will take very seriously any reports of failures of two-way radio operators to comply with all relevant rules and requirements when using devices in the amateur bands.”
FCC’s definition of “Operate” (47 CFR § 95.303) “Control the functioning of a Personal Radio Service station; in particular, cause a Personal Radio Service station to begin, continue or cease TRANSMITTING”.
While listening may be legal, transmitting requires a licensed operator or type-aproved device. It is your responsibility to obtain the appropriate license for the band you intend to operate on. This is subject to change during times of emergency:
FCC §97.403 "No provision of these rules prevents the use by an amateur station of any means of radiocommunication at its disposal to provide essential communication needs in connection with the immediate safety of human life and immediate protection of property when normal communication systems are not available.”
Aganzstore.com is not responsible for any damage caused to the radio, either directly or indirectly, as a result of this service.
No guarantees of activity on the airwaves can be made on the frequencies and repeaters specific to your area.
