Long time listener to Radio Contra, first time forum user. I have actually never joined a forum before, i am typically the one in the background who reads and never comments. 2021 is deff going to be the year of getting out of our comfort zones.
I am new to comms and radio, got a strong background in electronics (computers) and cant wait to play around with connecting a Boafeng to my tablet. I wasnt even aware that was possible, but looking into how it works, it makes perfect sense.

Welcome! Cool username BTW.

Cable: https://baofengtech.com/product/aprs-k1/. Should be available on amazon and other places also.

Software: FLDigi here: http://www.w1hkj.com to use with your preferred device

The RTO course is well worth it to learn how to use this stuff quickly and efficiently.
