[chirp_users] Increasing scan "hang time" BF-F8HP
by Michael Grossie 19 Aug '17

19 Aug '17

Is there a way to increase the amount of time the scan feature stays on a channel after traffic has stopped? Hard to grab the radio and see what channel (or frequency) the last traffic was on. This may have been asked and answered. Thanks Michael H Grossie mhgrossie(a)sbcglobal.net

[chirp_users] Baorfeng transmit block while on reverse frequency
by Eric H 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

I program a lot of Boafeng uv-5r radios and have found an issue. I have a few channels I'd like to talk on and others I do not. If the reverse frequency function is turned on when on a channel you can transmit on, it will allow you to transmit on any channel in the radio. Is there a way to stop this from happening? You cannot access the reverse frequency option unless on a channel you can transmit on. Sent from my iPhone

[chirp_users] How to program.
by J. David Aten 09 Aug '17

While some festivals might have their own radios and license, many more, now days, go to a third party that leases radios, and applies for a temporary license. An example is WQXT583. They have 13 frequencies, 850 units, and will be using DMR digital radios. This is very common, as to radio type, and size of the event. So, to find the security frequency, out of all of those, can be very hard to find, and would require extensive listening to figure what each frequency is being used for. The event won't tell you.

CHIRP couldn't help you either way unless you know the frequency but you can easily program it in the field when you're there. They are probably operating in the VHF 70cm band 440mhz. In VFO mode you can easily scan the band when you're there and it should find them when they are transmitting.

[chirp_users] Baofeng 888 STE disable?
by â ¡â € ðŸ—‹ 06 Aug '17

06 Aug '17

Is there a way to disable the squelch tail elimination (~55hz tone) on de-key when CTCSS is used? It doesn't seem to be an option on the 888, but it is on other baofengs. In a noisy environment with no squelch end noise, it's hard to tell when the other person has de-keyed. I'm wondering if there's a way to import this setting from another radio profile to see what happens.
