To use the two Baofeng radios on SO-50:
1. Program one memory channel for 145.85 MHz with a 67 Hz tone.
2. Program another memory channel for 145.85 MHz with a 74.4 Hz tone. This channel will serve to turn on the 10-minute timer when required.
3. Next, program a set of memory channels sequentially: 436.805, 436.800, 436.795, 436.785, and 436.780 MHz
4. Use one of the radios as your uplink radio, transmitting on either of the 145.85 MHz memory channels as necessary.
5. Use the other radio as your downlink radio, listening on 436.805-780. Based on my experience with Baofengs I consider them to be slow in changing memories, so I would stick to the VFO-mode for the downlink receiver. Manually set the VFO to 436.805 and adjust down as necessary for Doppler.
You may program the Baofengs to operate "split" mode but then you're limiting yourself to semi-duplex operation.

I have two BOAFANG (SP?) that the club want to program for SO 50. and possibly in advance for FOX 1. (I know that SO 50 has a tone.)
The questions:
- What freq should be programed for S0 50 to comp for Doppler?
- Same for FOX 1
Thanks everyone for their help.
