Re: setting up Scanner function UV-5R family

John: A very logical question. No only do I have the NWS 6 or 7 broadcast channels, I also have the two Skywarn channels for my home area, as well as some Fire and EMS dispatch channels in my home area. This 'odd' group allows me to move around the state (in Florida) and not have to specifically program or dial to the specific channel. It's something I want to try now that I know what the TO/CO/SE designations mean. Thanks for your help on this.

Generally, there is only one that covers your geographical area and the others are out of range. Also, because they never stop transmitting, your radio will stop on it every scan cycle.

Actually, Jim responded. I use the 5R, so I followed his instructions just to see the result. I stumbled a bit, because "scroll down to the Detailed Menu Reference" is really "Menu Definitions - Detailed", and my brain was programmed to skim for "Detailed". Persistence helped ;-) But sure enough, the answer is there. Thanks to you both. I updated my notes to "UV-5R scan options: TO=pause on channel; resume after preset time. CO=stop on carrier detect; resume when carrier drops. SE=stop on carrier detect; resumed by user." ...but it has been a while since I used scan on either of my 5R models, so I don't recall what happens with SE. I'll have to read the manual and test. Does it: 1. When SE is active and stopped on a channel, and the user presses SCAN, radios will pick up the scan at the channel point following, and resume scanning. 2. Go back to the beginning of the scan programmed list, and begin again. 3. Start the scan with the current channel, which may still be active. In this case, the user must manually step ahead, then press SCAN. ISTR that the 5R will resume scanning (SE mode) with the next scan channel, when the user triggers SCAN. ~R~ On 2024-10-09 20:35:, Gary Chesshir via Users wrote: >I haven't seen anyone answer your question. TO is stop on search and resume after preset time. Usually 5 sec. CO will stop when detects carrier and resume when carrier drops and SE will stop on signal and remain there until acted upon by user. > >Hope this helps you understand the 3 choices.

I have one of my UV-5R that receives well, so want to us it to scan NWS channels here to support my Skywarn activities. I went to Chirp, on the Advanced Settings Tab and found "Scan Resume". My choices are: TO CO SE what do each of these do if I add them to my set up for the radio. Thanks. Larry Larry Louree, PMP Problem Solver Palmetto, Florida 34221 cell: 407-697-1869

TYT 7900

CHIRP has an entry for the 7800. It connected to my radio but with a dire warning about how awful things could happen. Has anyone had this work, or made their radios explode? I'm worried!

Hello, please help. I have an Icom IC-W32E radio and the python file icw32.py works great. https://chirpmyradio.com/issues/280 But it does not support 12.5kHz tuning step. Would it be possible to add support for tuning step 12.5 kHz to the PY file?? Thank you Libor
