If you would have bought two identical radios - it would have been much easier to program.

Programming usually requires some type of interface cable and a computer and a computer program.

You need to be mindful of staying within the proper frequencies for unlicensed use and the output power level allowable on those frequencies…

Yes - some of those newer - cheap = radios are a bear to program.
