Thanks to all for the advice, suggestions and helpful links. I now have my Linton 6288 ad it's all programmed for the standard 22 FRS/GMRS channels.
I don't have a COM port on my computer (laptop has one, but left it at work), so I had to manually program the radio, but it worked out well. Took a couple of minutes with the manual to figure that out. Once I got over that little learning curve, everything went smoothly. I tested it (both send & receive) with my cheapo FRS/GMRS radios and it worked perfectly.
I can't wait to actually get to use this thing in the field.
