Hello, I just joined this group, after downloading and using CHIRP. Thank you all for a very helpful application.
The principal at my son's school asked for my help. They have a number of Motorola XTN XU2600 radios, that they'd like to gradually replace with Baofeng BF-888S ones. I'm trying to use CHIRP to program the Baofeng radios so that they interoperate with the Motorola ones, using the same channel numbers.
I was able to run CHIRP and successfully downloaded the settings from the Baofeng. However, I don't have a programming cable for the Motorola, and the Baofeng one doesn't fit. I changed the frequencies in the Baofeng to match the UHF frequencies I found in the Motorola user's manual, but the radios don't communicate. I left all the other columns unchanged.
Subsequently, I changed the 'TONE Mode' to 'None' for all the channels. I then noticed that the Baofeng could receive on channel 1 when I transmitted on the Motorola on channel one, but the Motorola couldn't receive from the Baofeng.
I believe that I need all the information for all the columns to get the Baofeng working with the Motorola. Can anyone point me to a CHIRP .img file or a .cvs file for the Motorola XTN XU2600? I'd be happy to send my factory-default Baofeng BF-888S .img file to anyone, or to a repository, for future reference. Is the Motorola set up to use any of the stock configs?
This is what I have programmed in the Baofeng for channel 1: Freq: 464.500000 Tone mode: none Tone: 88.5 ToneSql: 69.3 DTCS Code: 023 DTCS Rx Code: 023 DTCS Pol: NN Cross Mode: Tone->Tone Duplex: none Offset: 0.0 Mode: FM Power: High Skip: S
Thank you for any advice or guidance you can give me. Thank, again, for such a useful program.
