The app won't connect to my radio

Turn Bluetooth on, on both the phone and the radio, and keep them within a few feet of each other.
On the radio, turn KISS TNC off while using the app. The radio only talks to one app at a time.
Close any other app that talks to the radio (the manufacturer's app, an APRS app).
On iPhone, you do not pair the radio in iOS Settings. Connect from inside the app's Connect screen.
If it still fails, power the radio off and on, then try again.
The Connect screen has a "Get connection help" button that runs a self test and walks through this list.

No repeaters are showing up

Allow location access when asked, so the app can find what's near you. You can also search by grid square or by latitude and longitude without location.
Check your filter (Amateur, GMRS, or both).
In remote areas the nearest repeater may simply be far away. Widen the distance or use the map.

Do I have to pay?

Finding and browsing repeaters is always free — search, the map, adding your own repeaters. Programming a repeater to your radio (one-tap programming, simplex presets, manual channels, backups, arranging channels) needs a one-time or yearly purchase, made through the App Store or Google Play. If you've already purchased and it's not unlocking, try Restore Purchase on the purchase screen, or reinstall the app.

Does the app need an internet connection?

No. The repeater database, the maps, and search all work with no signal once the app is installed. Once you've purchased radio-programming access, that stays unlocked with no signal too — the app only checks the App Store's or Play Store's own on-device purchase record, never a server of ours. Nothing you enter and nothing the app reads from your phone is ever sent anywhere.

How do I undo a change to my radio?

Before you program anything, use Save a backup on the Radio Backups screen. That stores a dated snapshot of the whole radio. You can restore any backup later from the same screen.

Programming put a channel in the wrong slot

Use the channel-slot picker when programming a single repeater to choose the exact slot. For bulk programming, pick the starting slot and channel group first. If something still lands wrong, email us with the repeater, the slot you expected, and the slot it used.
