Sign up on this event to have your radio(s) programmed for the club frequencies after the parent club business meeting.
For members wanting to purchase their own radios the club suggests either the Baofeng UV82C radio or the Baofeng BF-888S handhelds. We have also had good success with the Powerwerks DB-750x mobile unit.
The UV82C is a higher powered more feature rich radio at a higher price tag.
While the BF-888S is a basic walkie-talkie type radio operating at much lower power and a much lower price tag.
The DB-750x is a traditional vehicle-mounted radio with features similar to the UV82C, but offering higher power output and the benefits of a vehicle mounted antenna. This unit will need to be physically installed into your vehicle similar to a traditional CB. Programming software run on Mac and Windows
The Anytone 5888UV (AT-5888UV) is a nearly identical twin to the DB-750X which has some slight differences in the layout of the faceplace, but has the same FCC ID. It seems to run an older firmware but has the same specs and capabilities. Programming software only runs on Windows however. Make sure you get the 5888UV and not the UVIII. The "3" is NOT FCC type accepted for club use. Must be FCC ID T4K-5888UV.
All can be purchased through multiple resellers, including Baofeng directly as well as Amazon.
Club radios are programmed with the commercial radio frequencies as identified in the FCC license issued to Mile Hi Jeep Club. These are not CB, HAM, or GMRS radios. Radios being used with the club license must be FCC Part 90 Compliant. Club radios are for use exclusively at MHJC events within the state of Colorado. Mobile radios will require an antenna suitable for use between 450-470Mhz.
