[chirp_users] Programming Question for Baofeng UV-5R Radio
by Bill Hand 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi everyone. I've got what is probably a very basic question, but I'm not sure how to solve it. At work we have Black Box 2-way UHF Radios with the following settings. Receive Frequency: 464.xxxxx Mhz CTS/DTS Decode: 100.0 2T Decode: None Transmit Frequency: 469.xxxxx Mhz CTS/DTS Encode 100.0 2T Encode: None Beat Shift: No Scan Add: Yes Busy Lock: None PPT ID: Off Wide/Narrow: Wide I am trying to program a BaoFeng UV-5R radio to work with our 2-way radio system. The question I have is what/where do I specify the CTS/DTS Decode/Encode values? Also, any idea what the other settings in CHIRP should likely be set as (besides the frequency) Thanks a million for your help.

As long as his license covers portable radios on 469.xxx MHz with the appropriate emissions and power designation, this is all legal. This is unrelated to the 70 cm amateur radio band. Tom KD7LXL

I can do it on mine. The UV5R is a part 90 radio and since it appears he is trying to put that radio on a part 90 licensed system, there should be no issue doing this. I programmed our park system when I was a board member into my UV5, so not sure what would prevent him from doing this. I would put the 100 under Tone and ToneSQL. Set tone mode to Tone.

Amen to that Dan! I just helped my father start using CHIRP. He had a lot of trouble on his older XP system. Seemed that the driver for talking to his Kenwood handheld had 'gone wonky'. After cleaning up the mess of other software issues on that machine, I was able to reinstall the driver and everything started working together nicely. Interestingly, even with the 'wonky' driver, he was able to use the Kenwood software (which I considered odd) so he wanted to blame it on CHIRP. I used it as a teachable moment about drivers and the 'hardware device manager' (it had the cute little yellow question mark next to the usb device for the HT....) Now he can use CHIRP to program his HT, his new mobile, and his HF+ home station. He's a happy ham! FWIW, I continue to be amazed at the incremental improvements in CHIRP. I'm using an older build at home (if it's not broke 'don't fix it') but the latest one that Dad had installed had some nice improvements. Thank you for continuing to support and improve such a universal and useful tool for hams everywhere! 73, Grant Hopper KB7WSD The problem is, your system libraries (DLLs) could be out of whack for > a million reasons, and it's really hard for us to diagnose it remotely > for you.

With all the abrupt comments on this. I feel obliged to say thank you again. I am using this for programing my radios and several other Ham friend's radios. Generally any problems I have come back to operator error. If everybody that uses CHIRP as I do will make a small contribution to the cause, you'll sleep better at night and encourage Dan and the team. Thanks again. 73, Tom
