[chirp_users] The VHF low band is still in use
by J. David Aten 05 Sep '16

One of the largest police agencies, with thousands of radios, and covering one of the largest geographical areas, still uses VHF low band, and has absolutely no plans on moving, or changing. That is the California Highway Patrol. (CHP).

[chirp_users] trying to put in local police frequencies
by Glenn 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

Hi, I searched on RadioReference.com for some local frequencies by zip code, and it gave me a list. I am planning on trying to enter them into a CSV file that I had previously exported. I am trying to test these frequencies on my Baofeng 5R and it does not allow me to enter the frequency, and based on the numbers, I'm thinking that that the 5R does not go to this frequency range. example: 39.820000 I thought that there is a way to force this type of radio to scan in those areas. Thanks for any help. Glenn

I live in California , Barstow in San Bernardino County to be exact. Most of the county has gone to 800 my trunking radios. The California Hiway Patrol is in low band 6 meters 42 - 48 mhz.

Although seldom used, they are tested frequently.

[chirp_users] putting frequencies
by Glenn 03 Sep '16

03 Sep '16

Hi, I'm trying to put in frequencies into the table I downloaded from my Baofeng 5R. I arrowed to an empty row, one that is numbered, but only has zeros in the accompanying fields. But when just typing into the frequency field, it jumps me elsewhere on the table. I am not sure with my screenreader to import from RadioReference.com from the radio menu. Thanks. Glenn

When plugging a headset into my UV-82 when I press the PTT button the radio changes to the B/UHF frequencies. Is there a way to prevent this. Thanks.

I don't find the word "port"when I go to device manager, using windows 7.

Go into device manager, and see what port Windows assigned. If using other operating system, there are other ways of finding. On 8/29/2016 17:00, lasomrak wrote: > How did you find the correct port.

I have tried several times to upload a list of 48 repeaters and everytime I upload to the radio it only receives 20 memory lines of the 48. Any ideas why? Thank You, Wevone Hobbs
