Best substitute model to use in CHIRP for Baofeng AR-5RM
by Bob Meyer 28 May '24

28 May '24

I just bought a Baofeng AR-5RM from Amazon. (... less than $30, of course). It's an 8 watt (more or less), 999 channel, tri-band (2m, 1.25m, 70cm) radio with AM air band receive capability. It seems to do all those things, but it's not currently support by CHIRP. I was wondering whether anyone could suggest an alternative in CHIRP. The Amazon page for the radio shows an image showing that it can be programmed by telling CHIRP it's a UV-17Pro. Well, that kind-a sort-a works, but doesn't handle the radio's full capabilities. First off, it doesn't recognize that there are three power levels. Also, I can enter and store air band AM frequencies on the radio itself, but I can't add nor even edit those entries when read from the radio. Just looking for a suggestion. Thanks! Oh, by the way, the radio didn't even come with the correct manual. The manual is for the "BF-5RH SERIES", and it makes no mention of the 1.25m capability, AM air band receive, or higher power.

how to open/use older version
by Scoobie D 27 May '24

27 May '24

I have the Chirp software on my old MacBook Pro (cira 2009) Running version 10.10.5. I can no longer open it on that laptop. I was trying to load each profile to my Baofeg UV-5R to move them to my newer MacBook Pro., but I'm not able to open Chirp on my older model. Am I out of luck or is there some way to open the older chirp version?

Vox In Chirp Settings Tyt 9800
by K0LNY ?? 13 May '24

13 May '24

Hi, I have a Tyt 9800, and being Blind, I cannot read the display. I downloaded from the radio with the Tyt software, and found no setting in that software to activate VOX. I'm wondering if I installed Chirp on the laptop I've used with the Tyt software, if this model has an option in the settings tab of Chirp to turn on VOX. It's probably in the radio menus that comes up on its display, but I cannot read that, and I'm hoping I can turn it on with some software. Thanks. Glenn Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. Glenn K0LNY & WSAT439
