Thanks for the help with that.
I was able to at least compare channel names from the Rugged V3 list and V2 list. The V2 list has the actual frequencies, where the V3 lists none. But with the names it's highly likely that the frequencies are the same between the two Rugged radios. Which, when programmed into a Baofeng uv-5r should allow them all to play on the same frequency in theory.

I've got a file set up in Chirp with all the GMRS channels (including GMRS repeaters), 7 NOAA weather channels and the 9 shared Rugged frequencies. There is also the National calling frequency for Ham and the frequency used by 4x4 focused Ham users. If you don't have a HAM license, I'd refrain from using those two, but the rest are going to be off the radar of the full-blown Ham guys/gals. I left off HAM repeater frequencies for that exact reason as a bunch of us folks tying up a HAM repeater is going to get the fox hunt going in a fast way.
It only takes a minute or two to upload the file to a UV-5R. I'll be in Moab Thursday staying at Moab Rim with Capt Ron. Anybody that wants their radios programmed just needs to let me know. Send me a PM and I'll shoot you my phone number so we can coordinate getting hooked up.
I will bring my laptop to the meetup spot Friday morning also if anybody wants a radio updated there that isn't at Moab Rim.
@ktmoutfront I'll set the radios you donated and your personal radios up either day..
