This radio UHF is limited to 420/500. It should be 400/520. Is there answer for this? Regards Larry

[chirp_users] UV 5R Tone Squelch
by Tom Barton 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

I'm using a few UV 5 R's on a commercial UHF repeater. The frequency is a bit congested. Here's the problem - The UV 5R seems to hold the squelch open for about 2 seconds after the repeater (and thus the tone) drops. Is there a timer that anyone has found that determines the time that the squelch is held open after the tone drops? This is most annoying to hear snippets of other companies transmissions - especially one digital repeater. Thanks for any input.

[chirp_users] Could use a hand with a BaoFeng and Chirp
by Joe abrahamson 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Thanks for the ad. Have been a CHIRP user (and donar) for a while now and no issues. Then had my desktop computer die and replaced it with a Win7 64 bit unit. Installed CHIRP and I thought everything went fine but when I tried to upload the new frequency list to the radio (a UV-5RA thats about a year old) it keeps telling me that "an error has occured. Radio did not respond" I have used this same cable and radio in the past with CHIRP with no issues so am guessing that its the computer or OS. Have tried both 0.4.1 and "chirp daily-20150218" found on the BaoFeng site, both with the same results. Ideas? Am volunteering in a ham event tonight and would love to have the radio as a backup for my older Kenwood "just in case".... Thx, Joe A KG7FDX Phoenix

[chirp_users] CHIRP Feature Request
by Augusto Gabaldoni 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Hi all, I am new in this so not an expert at all. Help will be greatly appreciated. I have two Baofeng BF-F8HP and was successful in modifying the operational range of them. I have extended the frequency range using the following parameters: VHF: 108.000 to 177.000 UHF: 385.000 to 570.000 I have successfully tested both radios to transmit and receive on the following range: VHF: 128.450 to 177.9975 UHF: 385.3725 to 570.4775 I still have to use my scanner to confirm that they are transmitting on that whole range, but the radios do communicate on it. I have used the 108.00 lower range on VHF to try receiving Air Band, but still have to confirm if I can receive on that range. One problem I have with CHIRP is that it does not allow me to add channels on that range which would be very useful to identify by name those frequencies (GROUND, ATIS, APPROACH, CLEARANCE etc.) CHIRP says those frequencies are beyond operational range. I can save those frequencies in memory on the radio interface but I cannot add a name to them. Is there a way to make CHIRP do this, or does it need this added as a new feature? Thanks!
