[QUOTE="scooter60, post: 682936, member: 7529"] The pre-programmed radios is a nice selling point to the Rugged Radios. I still could not bring myself to pay the price they are asking when I can get them so much cheaper. Don't be afraid to try to program a radio. The Baofeng hand held is easy to program. The TYT TH-8600 comes with its own software to program the radio and it is easy to use. I wrote the program and cloned my radio in about 20 minutes. Once the program is written for the TH-8600, you can program as many as you want. Takes 30 seconds once the program is created. I have been looking for a frequency list from Rugged and they keep them password protected. I will get my hands on a Rugged Radio before to long and will try to read that program using C.H.I.R.P. Chirp is a program free on the interwebs for programming UHF/VHF radios. It works with most Baofeng models and others as well. It does not support the TH-8600 at this time but does support other TYT radios. I did find a channel listing for PCI radios.
