Individual groups can be created. This expands the capabilities of the radio. An example is a member is outside of radio coverage, but is logged into the network and group- you can still communicate with them via the Network Channel. Info can be found here: https://baofengtech.com/harnessing-the-power-of-community-withbtech-gmrs-programmers-networking-groups/. The information is the same for the HAM and GMRS usage. Here are some excerpts from that page: Getting Started with Your Account Accessing Sign-In Options If you're new or haven't set up an online profile yet, start by selecting the "Sign In" button located beside your "Nickname" Creating a New Account If you need to create an account, choose the option to "Sign Up".

Notification Settings Control the audio alerts for new messages and conversations with the speaker icon. A slashed speaker denotes silent mode, allowing you to browse the log without interruption. Real-Time Communication at Your Fingertips The app's interface is designed for real-time interaction: Voice Communication Use the `Hold to Speak' button for instant voice messaging with other group members, visible in the chat as audio waveforms. Text Messaging Tap the keyboard icon to compose and send text messages to the group, facilitating quick and convenient typed communication. Location Sharing Share and request locations with group members to enhance your collaborative experience, especially useful during events or meet-ups. Understanding Data Privacy and Access in Real-Time As you engage with the community through the BTECH UV Programmer app, it's essential to understand how your data is handled: Real-Time Access The app operates on a real-time access model. This means that to view conversations and archives, you must be online. This design ensures that you have immediate and continuous access to the group's dialogue as it unfolds. 18 Online Presence To ensure you don't miss any part of the conversation, maintain your online status. Being online is crucial as it allows the app to sync and display the latest communications from other users in real-time. Data Privacy BTECH takes your privacy seriously. No logs or conversation data are stored on our servers. All information is relayed live and is only stored locally on your device. BTECH does not store conversations, but simply relays them to active users. Archiving Conversations If you wish to review past conversations, you must be part of the network channel when the conversations occur, as the app does not retroactively provide chat logs for periods when you were offline. This approach not only respects your privacy but also aligns with the real-time nature of radio communication. It ensures that your communications remain private, secure, and under your control. Create Exclusive Groups for Focused Communication For those desiring more private and focused discussions: Private Group Creation Establish your own private group and safeguard it with a passcode. Only members with the passcode can join, ensuring exclusivity and control. Searchable Database Your private group will be listed in the app's searchable database, making it discoverable to users you choose to share the passcode with. Continuous Connectivity Stay connected to the conversation by keeping the app active on your device, ensuring you never miss a message with the cloud icon enabled.
