Tapping the [BAND] button of the radio will cycle through the 3 memories associated with the selected display line and place the currently selected memory into the currently selected VFO.

[chirp_users] Using CHIRP to programme Entel HX470 radios
by chrisgarlandhome＠gmail.com 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Hi, I've got some old Entel HX470 radios that are in perfect condition and seem to work well, so I want to program them (from whatever they were programmed to by the last user) to PMR446 frequencies. The problems I have are; 1. they are so old that Entel don't hold any records of them (e.g. user manuals) (production ceased 15-20 years ago according to Entel) 2. the ENTEL programming software doesn't include them (HX470) 3. CHIRP doesn't include Entel radios at all. Help! If you've got any ideas, I'm all ears as it seems a shame to bin them just because they can't be programmed at the moment. Thanks in advance! Chris

[chirp_users] Support for Yaesu FTM-400XDR?
by Kevin Zembower 27 Nov '21

27 Nov '21

Hello, all. Hoping that all who celebrated Thanksgiving had a restful and relaxing holiday. I'm contemplating buying a Yaesu FTM-400XDR mobile transceiver. See http://systemfusion.yaesu.com/ftm-400dr-xdr/. I'm wondering if I have to buy the RT-SYSTEMS ADMS-M400-U software to program it, or if Chirp can do the job. I searched for FTM-400 in the supported models, but didn't find it. I also searched the last six months of email list archives without success. Does anyone know if this model can be programmed with Chirp? Somewhat related, Yaesu offers this software for free download: ADMS-7 Programming Software at https://www.yaesu.com/downloadFile.cfm?FileID=14972&FileCatID=267&FileName=…. Any idea if this is a full programming software system, or just used to update the firmware of the radio? Thank you for your help and advice. -Kevin KC3KZ

This radio has a 16 TMR selections similar to the BTech mobile radios so so setting it to the 16th choice puts it out-of-range based on the current programming.

Well according to the VERY Limited documentation the USB is charging and Frequency Download. I also tried them with other FRS radios, and not transmitting on FRS. I will get out the scanner and check with that. I don't see it showing up as a port on windows or a TTY device on linux when I plug it in. Probably just going back to Amazon. --- ======================= Chas.

I had both these problems in the past. The first time, I came here for advice, and following it, I found that the plug into the radio was not really all the way in, despite my pushing with what I thought was the right amount of force. So I got in a habit of pushing until I felt it fully seated. The next time it happened...different radio and different cable...I found that I had to remove a slight amount of material from the plug so that it would go in all the way. I think I used a nail file to remove small amounts until it fit.

A good friend just bought 2 ea of the subject radios and finds that both the FRS and GMRS transmit functions are "locked out". He can receive, but not transmit. Is there an easy way to fix this? I have not yet investigated this on the web, but thought I might ask here first. Ken W7EKB

I have 3 uv5r radios Ive configured the way I’d like them, and ordered 4 more to do the same. The original 3 are in perfect Working order. When ever I try to clone the new 4 they do nothing when I try to transmit . The channels all take after cloning but I can’t use the radio. Function restores after a factory reset. Radios were purchased from the same vendor, and my new cable was purchased from the same vendor as well . first one was flawless but misplaced. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone

Is Chirpc not included in the Windows package any longer? I have seen a few references to it online and in the GIT repository, but do not find it in the downloaded installation directory. Thanks, Eric

Jim, thanks for your dozens of informative and cutting edge replies. Many of us would be at a loss without your knowledge. Be well!

The one sold by Radioddity is called the GT-5R. https://www.radioddity.com/products/baofeng-gt-5r As you can see from the Radioddity page, they tend to cost less ($24.99) than the radios that can TX across the whole 130-179 MHz and 400-520 MHz ranges, so many owners mistakenly purchased them to get the "lowest price".
