[chirp_users] ... Could not open Com 3
by Ken G 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

I haven't downloaded from my UV-5r for quite some time but today I downloaded the latest version of Chirp, plugged in the cable and I get the following error thrown up by Chirp - "could not open port COM3: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified." .. and this error for the port in Device Manager of Windows 10 .. "This device cannot start. (Code 10) {Not Enough Quota} Not enough virtual memory or paging file quota is available to complete the specified operation." Previously I've had no problems. I rebooted hoping to free up any previously locked memory and got the same result. My computer is an HP Probook 4540s with 8gb ram. The paging file is set at 1905mb which is windows recommended size. What do I do now? Ken G.

On our radios I set all the public service bands to duplex=off. That prevents xmit on those frequencies. Baofung UV5-R radios. -- *We The People* founded this country. *We The People* can save this country.

[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
