> Can anyone recall or explain why these radios are being discouraged to be > used? Something about frequency separation or bleed over??? I believe it was intermod/cross channel interference issues. I know several guys that have these radios and they have not mentioned such issues to me. I am nit in a dense metro area but we are close enough that I think that would be obvious if it were a serious problem.

I'm sure you will find some opinions on the UV5R mailing list or a general ham list. Tom KD7LXL

I appreciate all the support. Seriously. I really don't feel unappreciated, even after attacks such as this one, and I hope the other developers don't either. I let the mail through because I don't want to be perceived as squashing criticism here. Please, lets drop this and move onto more productive discussions. I won't lose any sleep over it, I promise :) -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

I don't about Marine frequencies but it is illegal to use this radio to transmit on GMRS, FRS or MURS frequencies here in the USA as it is not Part 95 certified.

I think I can get that done now. I don't have them all loaded yet, I am not used to the interface, but I think I can figure it out. Problem Is, I don't have the right channels with the correct numbers. I will eventually figure it out. Marine and GMRS frequencies are provided as stock configs under the File menu.

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-7900 R/E question
by Apple //GS 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

This is a fine program, and it works perfectly with my BAOFENG UV5RA, but for the life of me I can not get CHIRP to see my Yaesu FT-7900 R/E. I have tried to use BOTH Mac and Windows, and while there are many other Yaesu models, the 7900 does not show up on the list. I see from some others here that they have brought it up. Please help me, at least show me how to ask others how to get my computers to see my Yaesu. Apple Macintosh CHIRP 0.3.0 GTK 2.24.10 PyGTK 2.22.0 Python 2.7.2 Thank you in advance Mark Fernandez

[chirp_users] Print Function
by Elaine & Ross Carr 06 Mar '13

Hi folks: What's the possibility of having a simple "PRINT" function added to the programme? It would come in handy to enable a printout of frequencies and settings. It's nice to have a hard copy, just in case of a system crash. Regards VE3GLY - Ross

[chirp_users] New Chirp User with questions

I handle the radios for a Search and Rescue Group in West Tennessee and like most organizations we are always tight on money so we are running test with Baofeng radios to help out our water and land operations on top of our Motorola gear. I was told to look into the Chirp software for all of our programming needs. I have a basic understanding of radio theory and I in my Day Job that pays the bills I am an engineer. Here is my question. Here there a basic document covering all the functions of Chirp, I figured out how to do the TX/RX repeater split from the FAQ but I have several goverment agencies that use different PL codes for the TX and RX in addition to some digital encoding. Some of these settings I would just like to know more about. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated and so far I enjoy using the software - I would just like to know more about it to leverage it to it's fullest. I have attatched one of my images so you will have some idea of what I am up to so far :-) Kenneth E. Reinard

FWIW, I'd suggest deleting the offending link before posting your reply or forward of his message. 73 de KK4DBR Ron On 3/5/2013 1:49 PM, John Gorena wrote: > > William, You might have a virus... > > To everyone else, DO NOT CLICK IT...No matter how tempting it is to > see it. > > John > > *From:*chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com > [mailto:chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com] *On Behalf Of > *William Cochran > *Sent:* Tuesday, March 05, 2013 12:20 PM > *To:* ccochran; chirp users request; chirp users; Charles R Cochran; > Kristi Cochran; Robbie Watson Cochran; Kristi Cochran > *Subject:* [SPAM] [chirp_users] William Cochran > > *:) happy > http://www.cactusred.de/vlvs/v > > > > _______________________________________________ > chirp_users mailing list > chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users
