Hi Dennis, That's pretty much what I do with the Puxing 888. Simplex and repeaters in two groups, RAYNET frequencies in a third. I did the same with a dual-band Baofung I owned at one time, lots of memories needed, plus more groups for CTCSS tones! I don't like it when other Chirp users ask why anyone wants to do it differently to the way they do it, thus suggesting that their way is the only way to save and retrieve data to and from a radio, and then not answering the question anyway! Its a long time since I did it, but my recollection is that for a CSV file any unused cells should, upon downloading from the radio, appear as just a single terminating comma, probably resulting in many long strings of commas. So new data can be entered in between the commas, but one would have to be sure they were the correct two commas. I'd be tempted to do it in Excel or similar, where the unused cells would appear as blank cells, all ready for the filling-up of by the enthusiastic radio amateur. The Excel data would have to be converted back to a CSV file before uploading to the radio. Hope this is of some use to somebody! If not it doesn't really matter, I wasn't doing anything else... Cheers all, Chris, Staffordshire, UK

I am new to this so please treat me gently.... Is it possible to download CTCss codes to a Baofeng GT-3TP handset? The file format I get via CHIRP does not include this column. Cheers Calum

[chirp_users] Programming a Baofeng

How do I edit the frequencies manually? I want to add frequencies that are not in repeater book. Also, I want to program for both 2M and 70 cm. How can I put both on? It appears to only let me program one band.

[chirp_users] Kenwood TH-D72
by Brandon Clark 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

Hello group, I'm having trouble programming my Kenwood TH-D72 Ht. I have a feeling I'm missing something really obvious, so I apologize if this is a stupid question: In Chirp there are options to work with the radio in "Clone Mode" and "Live Mode". Trying to read from the radio in live mode doesn't yield any results. Also, I don't know what I would do to put the radio into clone mode; I can't find anything in the manual about that. What am I missing? System: Windows 10, current version of Chirp. The system has the virtual com port driver from Kenwood installed. Also, I CAN read from the radio using the Kenwood MCP-4A software. I'm trying to use chirp though because I can't import a CSV into the MCP-4A program (the only option is a TravelPlus csv file, and I don't have an example of that format). Many thanks, Brandon, KL7BSC
