Hello; Get a welcome screen, but nothing is active, either file or radio. Have a Baofeng cable on a Mac Powerbook running Sonoma. Does popup menus need to be active? Thanks Ed Am attempting to use chirp to program my Baofeng 5R+. Downloaded chirp, but no functionality at all. Resist the simps. Build families. Question authority. Workout. Eat meat. Own guns.

[chirp_users] Help with Chirp re Baofeng UV-5R
by Phil C 16 Feb '24

16 Feb '24

Hi all. I believe this is the correct way to post asking for help with the Chirp program? If not, could you point me in the right direction please? I have a Baofeng UV-5R which I want to use to monitor radio traffic on 169.038MHz. Receive only, not transmit. According to the specs this should be possible, but the radio will not allow me to programme that frequency. A Google search has shown me that apparently some of these radios were shipped without that frequency band (136-174MHz) enabled, and that Chirp should allow me to reprogramme my handset to enable this. Currently the only range available is 400-520Mhz. I have downloaded Chirp and am waiting on a cable to allow me to connect the handset to the computer. If this reprogramming is possible would someone be able to tell me how to do it? Preferably in pretty basic steps, because although I'm reasonably tech-savvy and can hold my own with phone and computer apps like video editing etc I have never reprogrammed a radio and wouldn't know where to start. Thanks. Phil.

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R8W Repeater Config Error

I had just finished a session with another ham where I explained CTCSS on several radios. I thought that the UV-5s showed + or -, like the others. I was wrong. I just checked them both. It's just as you wrote. Thanks for the comment. 73 ~Rich~ NE1EE On 2024-02-15 08:40:, John Wuest wrote: >The "+-" on the display is there to show that an offset is programmed, but not which direction it actually is.

I have the BaoFeng UV-5RTP and the BTECH UV-5X3. I program them with chirp, and nary a problem. The images that show both +- on at the same time give me pause. I don't have any experiences with Baofeng, Kenwood, Icom, and Yaesu that has them both on. So...is there some way to do a factory reset on the Baofeng UV-5R8W? Offhand I'd not trust any operation unless I felt sure that the radio was operating 100% iaw mfg intent. And...a chirp list related note...I had saved the original email for this thread, because of the images, but when I looked it up on the chirp mail list, all that I saw were the replies. 73 Rich NE1EE On 2024-02-14 10:35:, A Boer wrote: >Good day, CHIRP Users!

When I want to use 2 radios to check, I either place one in another room with the volume up so that I can hear it, or I place it farther away, and use my phone to record a few minutes, giving me time to return to the first radio and send a test message, return and stop the recording.

Good day, CHIRP Users! I am having some trouble using CHIRP with some new radios I am trying to program. Simply put, I cannot get the repeater channels to work. I downloaded the .img file from one radio into CHIRP, copied and pasted the repeater configuration from the CHIRP list of repeaters and pasted it into my .img file, then uploaded the .img file into both radios. The radios will not talk to each other through the repeater. I have gory details with screenshots and radio display pictures in the attached .jpg files.
