[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-9R Pro - flashing causes severe squelch problem
by d＠deutrino.net 03 Feb '24

03 Feb '24

Hello again, I obtained a pair of brand new Baofeng UV-9R Pro units a few months ago and promptly flashed one with CHIRP. Unfortunately it seems that flashing the unit causes some kind of strange problem with squelch. I've seen this referenced a few times elsewhere when searching the problem, forum posts, Amazon reviews etc, though I don't know if this happens with all units or just some (and would love to hear info from anyone who's flashed them). Observations, hopefully somewhat accurate: 1. After flashing the radio with CHIRP, when it is tuned to a continuous channel such as NOAA weather radio, the squelch cuts in and out so badly that the radio is more or less unusable. 2. The radio, before flashing, and after factory reset, reliably receives the same channel without squelch problems when placed in the same location, which indicates that the problem is not one of low signal or interference. 3. Setting the squelch to 0 in the menu does not have a positive effect on the problem. 4. The squelch problem can be temporarily "cured" by pressing one of the buttons, e.g. the menu button. At this point, the squelch will perform normally for several seconds before going back to the broken behavior, in the case of the menu button, possibly when the button press "times out". Has anyone else noticed this or know of a fix or workaround? I am happy to assist debugging if desired. Just trying to see if there is anything I've missed before opening an issue. Thanks- -- Sent from my thing that sends email

Hello, Just out if curiosity, has Chirp-legacy reached s complete End of Lifecycle and there will never be anything past chirp-legacy-20221217? I’ve migrated, for the most part, to Chirp-Next, but still occasionally use legacy and just was curious. Thanks! -Jerry Sent from my iPhone Pro Max

[chirp_users] Baofeng GM-5RH
by Joel McClure 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

I got this GMRS radio on Amazon, and it seems like nobody else bought it. The number of Baofeng variations is silly. It looks exactly like the Baofeng 5RM / AR-5RM (the ham version). I was hoping selecting "5RM" in CHIRP would work, but an error results. Has anybody gotten CHIRP or any other programming software to work with a GM-5RH? Thank you!

[chirp_users] question on configuring a frequency
by rob banks 23 Jan '24

23 Jan '24

Yep, it is a local university that I am going to be working at and found that their security had a freq, i thought I would listen in, listen only, but it looked weird to me. I was able to program a channel in my ht but only get some weird noise, I was wondering if there was some translation required that needed those c12 and type R values to make it audible....if it is at all, maybe it is just digital signal in general and I would not be able to get anything out of it. Really just curious to see what it was as i had not come across those values before. good winds Rob Re: [chirp_users] question on configuring a frequency To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Message-ID: <24CB14B8-61A5-4A67-847B-297CE6C3CE2D(a)n2vip.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" So a quick google leads me to believe this is a law enforcement frequency, so I'll ask what is the service you hope to monitor? Where did you get that listing? If we know what you hope to monitor, we may find an alternate source for the information. That C12 tone setting looks vendor-specific, it likely 'maps' to either a standard DCS or CTCSS tone. Unless it is a digital mode Color code, but that feels unlikely...

It is a bug in the firmware in the radio. There are a bunch of other known firmware bugs. My modified CPS provides a 50+ page manual which includes a section on firmware bugs - look for the section titled "Known radio firmware issues". You can get my modified CPS from the miklor.com website. Before you ask, there are no public firmware updates. Even the seller (Global Walkie Talkie Store) can't get them, even just to update their inventory. Radios ordered before roughly November 2023 came with firm- ware 1.27, radios ordered since come with Firmware 1.28. The new vers- ion does not fix any known bugs, it just adds a mysterious "Dis ANI" menu option and allows changing the Tx power on-the-fly using the "8" key on the keypad. -- Terri Kennedy
