Baofeng UV-5R8W

For the Baofeng UV-5R8W, which radio should I select? I am thinking it should be the BF-F8HP, but want to make sure since it is not listed on the web site (https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home). Thanks, Eric

Digital trunked receiver
by jrwalt1＠gmail.com 07 Apr '24

Does anyone have a digital trunk receiver that they can program to the new police frequencies that are scrambled? I don’t think particularly that they are scrambled. I think they are probably just coated so that you can’t get into that digital trunk. Any information on it thank you so much Jim Walters. Sent from my iPhone

RadioReference issues
by Dan Smith 06 Apr '24

06 Apr '24

Hi all, Just wanted to get the word out that something appears to have changed on the RadioReference API that is preventing us from doing queries. I've reported it to them and hopefully they can either fix it, or help explain what has changed so CHIRP can handle the difference. Anyway, before too many bugs get opened I thought I'd give a heads up. If you want to follow the progress, this is the bug for it: https://www.chirpmyradio.com/issues/11286 --Dan

Baofeng UV-75 Pro Programming
by larry louree 05 Apr '24

05 Apr '24

Greetings All! I just got a new Baofeng UV-75 Pro and would like to program it using Chirp (if Possible) as all my other UV-5R family radios are programmed through Chirp and I was hoping this would be feasible. Thanks for your help and guidance. Larry WRWH885 Larry Louree, PMP Problem Solver Palmetto, Florida 34221 cell: 407-697-1869

frequency limits in edit
by Robi Akerley-McKee 04 Apr '24

04 Apr '24

In settings-other settings-VHF Upper Limit (Mhz) and settings-other settings-UHF Upper Limit (Mhz) and the corresponding lower limits.. Thes e should be followed when entering frequency values in memories. So if you set VHF upper to 226, you should be able to input 224.6000 into the frequency memory entry. Radio in question is Baofeng UV-5R *Robi Akerley-McKee, Ham Radio: k6pqz General*

Setting Compander for AR-63/TXQ-G63
by kujulu＠gmail.com 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

Is it possible to set Compander on AR-63 radios using CHIRP? With the TXQ (PC) software verging on unusable on Windows 11 ARM for MacOS users, I am now reliant on CHIRP to program my Abbree AR-63 (TXQ-G63). Have I overlooked a setting in CHIRP? If not what's the best way to get this setting onto CHIRP? I'm very happy to fire over one of my radios to a dev if that would help.

CHIRP editing question
by Ken Roberts 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

Simple editing question: I can select and edit a row, but I can't select and edit a column. For example, I want to select the NFM mode in multiple rows and change it to FM. There doesn't seem to be any way to do it. If I select multiple rows, it will only change the first entry in the column. What am I missing? I would like to see it work more like Excel. Ken
