[PPRAANet] Need to borrow

[DickT-W0RAA]

Hi guys/gals.  I need some help.

A friend of mine is getting one of the new BAOFENG (Sp?) HT's.  He cannot 
afford to
buy the programming software for it, and I am hoping that somebody in the 
club can
help.

I won't mention any names, but he has been diagnosed with bladder cancer 
that is
allegedly not curable.

I would like to borrow a programming cable and the software to program it 
for him with
the local repeater frequencies on 2m & 70 CM.

The radio is going to be delivered here to my QTH on Tuesday and he is going 
into the
hospital for further tests on Tuesday.  When he is done with those tests he 
will most
likely come by my QTH to pick up the HT.

The model of the radio is:
BaoFeng UV-5R 136-174/400-480 MHz Dual-Band DTMF CTCSS DCS FM Ham Two Way 
Radio.

Can anybody in the club help me with this?  I will be more than happy to 
come to your QTH
to pick up the software & cable and then return it when I'm done.  If I 
could pick it up over this
weekend or on Monday, that would be ideal.

I have a Wouxun HT but I don't think the programming software and cable I 
have for it will
work with the Baofeng radio.

73 & hope to hear from somebody.  Thanks.
