I know this is way off topic but perhaps it will help others wanting to
program their new Chinese dual-band handheld FM radio.

I own a Baofeng UV-5R and a Wouxon KG-UVD1P, neither of which has ever had
any useful channels programmed in.
I decided to finally address this.

As it turns out, it is very easy, just a bit tedious typing in all of the
channel/frequency information.

Slight correction: it is easy now, after spending 3 full days trying 3
different programming cables, 4 different programming software packages and
half a dozen or more cable drivers.  For me it is now easy.

AND I decided to create a web page showing how to do this.
It evolved into 5 pages, but as I said, totally easy, just tedious.

Shortcut:  if you can find someone else's .CSV file and start with it, you
will only have to modify a few channels and you'll be in business.
Unfortunately Region One has different repeater channels than Region Two, so
unless you live in Europe, you cannot use my file.
