The Miklor website was created in 2012 to assist and
share information with the Amateur Radio and
GMRS community. Originally a two page FAQ
to assist with programming, drivers, software
and general operation, it has grown
to over 450 pages.
The Website
Where does the information comes from? Actually,
most of it comes from you. If there is a known
problem or issue, I test it against the models I
have here, confirm the issue and if I
find a solution, I pass it on in the form of
an FAQ.
Affiliations
I am not a dealer, vendor or distributor, nor do I ever want to be. I have
absolutely No financial ties to any of these
companies, which gives me the ability to stay
totally objective.
There are several companies and vendors with
whom I share information.
They forward information to me to help me keep the Miklor site up-to-date, and I report findings to them to
assist
with future updates and enhancements.
(alpha and beta testing.)
I have been asked on occasion to assist with
writing manuals, as part of my past life was as
a technical writer.
I have also been on the testing side of
CHIRP beta releases. The developers at
CHIRP are an amazing crew. Strictly volunteers
that have daytime jobs and families, and do this as a Labor of
Love for the hobby, also with no compensation. Any supporting
funds are raised strictly by
CHIRP donations.
So, Why?
I had some great mentors when I started in ham radio years ago, and the Miklor site is my way of giving back
to the radio hobby and 'paying it forward'.
Your Ham license is
your License to Learn.
Enjoy your new Toys, and Stay Positive

BTW: Miklor is not actually my last name. It is
a Pen Name that I use because of the website.
