The Baeofeng radios are not legal for GMRS. One reason is they have remove able antennas.

In the US, yes. Check the FCC website for more info or go to www.miklor.com and check the FAQs. On February 13, 2017, at 4:11 PM, "Nigel A.

by Eric Chopin 13 Feb '17

Greetings Chirpers, I have a Yaesu FT-270R hand held and would like to program it either via CHIRP or another piece of software. I noticed in the CHIRP list of equipment, the FT-270R is not featured....does anyone know if another model would also communicate with this HH in the CHIRP archive? Thanks E

[chirp_users] Help with Baofeng BF-F9V2+
by Todd Nine 12 Feb '17

12 Feb '17

Hi all, I've been using Chirp with my Baofeng UV-5R+, and it works great. I recently purchased a pair of BF-F9V2+ radios. I've attempted to perform Radio -> Download from radio, and select a Baofeng BF-F8HP. This seems to work. However, according to this issue, this specific type of radio should be supported. http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/2511 I have the latest nightly, specifically revision 20170210, but this radio is not in my list. I'm using an OS X distribution. Is this the radio option I should be using, or is this radio type missing? Thanks, Todd

Just a follow-up… I took the suggestions offered, tried them without success, then ordered the ~$20 “official” cable for the Yaesu line. Yesterday I hooked everything up and was able to successfully download my FT60R to Chirp, add frequencies and parameters, and then save and upload the file back to my HT. Worked great, the FT60R works like a charm. Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond and assist me! Rick R

This is because a OS X security feature called App Translocation is actually executing the .app bundle from a temporary read-only disk image, and the chirp launch script attempts to modify the contents of the app bundle. This patch avoids modifying the .app bundle when App Translocation is active.

Thanks Gents. Doubling up on the channels as described is the work around I have already adopted. The point is that there is a feature described both in the Chinglish manual and supported through CHIRP that just isn't working for the 12 handsets I have on the floor in front of me. For me a work around is adequate - others might have a different operating scenario where it is not possible. The engineer in me always wants to see things work as they should ! Regs Brian
