With the open spaces, large patrol areas and such, vhf LO is probably the best band out there for them. ------ Original message------From: J. David Aten via chirp_users Date: Mon, Sep 5, 2016 12:41 PMTo: chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com;Subject:[chirp_users] The VHF low band is still in use 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).

Hello, Can someone help me with using live mode programing. I downloaded from the radio. I understand that if I want to edit the memories I need to export to a CSV file. How do I get it back to the radio after the edit? Again with the live mode programing. Thanks Eric wb9jnz Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID

The forums at the link below is devoted to discussion of FRS / GMRS. I'm sure this would be an appropriate question there and you'll likely hear a few examples of how it is being done : http://forums.radioreference.com/gmrs-frs/ -baji.

None of the beofeng radios are legal to use on the frs or grms . They can only be used by a licensed ham operator. The only exception is the part 90 Radios that can be used on business band with an FCC license. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

[chirp_users] Radio ID tones
by enrique＠sanchezfranco.com 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Hello everyone...I am new to programming radios via CHIRP; I have succesfully programmed frequecies, CTCSS and offset freqs and etc...and everything works fine. I have programmed freqs into memories and it all works great, yet, I'd like to ID radios with DTMF tone bursts at the beggining of the transmission, yet I can only "send" the tones while in Frequency mode and NOT in channel/memory mode..is there a way to do this via CHIRP...I cannot even manually 'force' the radio to do it...as soon as I exit the MENU mode, the radios reset the PTT-ID to 'OFF'...any ideas? all the best and thank you for your kind advice. enrique

[chirp_users] Programing beofeng uv 5x3
by Eric Lanzl 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

Hello List members, This is my first post to the list. I have a couple of questions about the use of the chirp software. I just acquired a Beofeng UV 5x3 and am learning the Chirp software. 1. I notice that the program seems to default to "cross" in the tone mode column. I was trying to figure out if one cane change several lines at once to "tone". I cannot find if this is possible so I programed each separately. 2. In the cross mode column, the program seems to keep defaulting to tone->tone despite that I saved it as tone only, Any ideas on why it does this? Is there a way to get to tone only? If one has tone selected in the tone mode column is it not putting the radio in tone squelch mode even if the cross mode column is saying tone->tone? I have not been able to find instructions on how this works. 3. I attempted to put in some skipped channels for scanning. I cannot get the program to show which ones I labeled as the skipped channels. Also when I attempted to put in skipped channels the program seems to change the tone mode and cross mode w/o my doing anything to those columns. Is there an easier way to put in skipped channels rather than each one separately? Any help on these issues and if there is a place I can find some instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all. Eric WB9JNZ
