[chirp_users] CHIRP VHF / UHF band "low / high" band limits ?
by Constable John Vith 06 May '17

06 May '17

We are a state law enforcement office using CHIRP to program "QYT - KT 8900 D" units for use in our prisoner transport and patrol vehicles. Our area (Greater Pittsburgh, PA) is one of the few areas nationwide where due to congestion the "T-Band" UHF (480 - 520 Mhz) is in use. Under the "Settings - Other Setting" tabs on CHIRP the band limits are "grayed out", preset to 136 - 174 Mhz VHF and 400 - 480 Mhz UHF. How can we change the "high" (upper) band limit for UHF from 480 Mhz to 520 Mhz ?

[chirp_users] BF 888s and UV5R
by Nate Alvin 03 May '17

03 May '17

About 6 weeks ago, i purchased the 2 radios listed in the subject line to test them out for work. I programmed them both to the frequencies assigned to our license. We were assigned a corporate license recently, with different frequencies, vs our stand alone site license which is going to expire. Using the same computer, same "fake prolific" Baofeng cloning cable and the updated daily CHIRP software i was able to reprogram the UV5R, but when i went to read the BD888S i received the error message "radio refused to enter programming mode". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Chere, to whom are you trying to transmit ? Directly to another radio via simplex, or to a repeater ? Have you checked the following: - Correct Receive & Transmit freq settings - Correct CTCSS / DCS tones for Transmit / Receive ? Did you program your radio manually or using CHIRP ? -baji. ~~ K 8 I I T _ On Tue, May 2, 2017 at 1:40 PM, Chere McCoy <agedog1(a)hotmail.com> wrote: I have a Baofeng BF-F8HP I can receive but not transmit > What settings have I messed up and how do I fix it > > 73.

In a few weeks some friends and I are going on a 10 day camping trip. We will be several miles back into a wooded area. I would like to use my use my Baofeng UV-5RA during this trip to communicate with my buddies radio he picked up from a surplus store. I can receive his transmissions but he cannot receive my transmissions. I am not sure what setting to adjust in chirp. Below is a list of the settings I set in CHIRP for this channel. Name = TripFreq Frequency = 462.562500 Mode = NFM Power = Low
