Q: 5. how long does it take to charge?

A: Charge your new battery overnight before using it. This is referred to as initializing and will enable you to obtain maximum battery capacity.New Motorola IMPRES batteries, when inserted into a Motorola IMPRES charger, will indicate a calibration cycle by displaying a steady yellow light on the charge status indicator. Allow this calibration process to complete by not removing the battery from the charger until it's fully charged and displays a steady green light. Lithium-ion/Polymer: Charge 1-2 more hours after the charger light turns green.In order to minimize capacity loss and cycle life reduction, new, non-initialized batteries must be stored in well ventilated, cool and dry locations. Batteries stored in these conditions may be stored:If used batteries are to be removed from service for extended periods (greater than 30 days) they should be discharged to about 50% of their capacity. Store in a cool, dry, location.

Q: 9. How difficult is this radio to program?

A: Not hard at all. Just download the free CPS software from Motorola and purchase a RMM2050 compatible CPS cable (Motorola specs part #HKKN4027, available from many online retailers including B&H). You have to have a Windows computer or Mac running Windows in bootcamp/parallels/etc. The app is a web-app that runs in your browser. Connect the radio via USB, follow the instructions, and all the settings are selectable from drop-down menus. When done, click to store to the radio or save for later if doing multiple units. Took about 10 minutes for the first one to learn everything and 2 minutes or less each after that. I had no previous experience programming radios, so it was easy for a beginner. There are no selectable frequencies, since MURS only uses 5 FCC-approved frequencies. You can select privacy bands for each channel in the CPS software, however. All other settings (mic gain/button function/tone/vox/etc.) were also selected by drop down menus in the web-app.

Q: 10. Is there a way to configure this radio in a way that stops the LED light from constantly blinking when standing by?

A: The blinking LED function cannot be disabled.
