Hi all,
I'm new to Chirp and testing it with a Baofeng F8+III (supposedly an update on the UV-5R). I have successfully downloaded all the programmed frequencies (as both BF-F8HP and UV-5R models). I named some of the channels and uploaded them, and now the radio shows the names I entered instead of the frequencies - great!
However I am unable to name some of the channels as I get an error when I attempt to do so:
Error setting memory: Tx freq 0.000500 is out of supported range
When I programmed in this frequency, I wanted to disable transmission so that I didn't accidentally transmit by mistake. I found some instructions online that suggested setting the split such that the transmission frequency ends up in a band that the radio cannot transmit on, and this indeed works - should I try to transmit the radio beeps with an error (if beeps are enabled) and no transmission occurs.
I have now successfully downloaded all my programmed channels into Chirp, including those with invalid splits, and I can upload them back to the device as well, with the invalid splits being left unchanged. However it won't let me assign names to the channels having these out of range splits because the above error comes up.
Is there any way I can tell Chirp that this isn't an error, and the frequency is intentionally out of range to prevent accidental transmission, and to accept the name of the channel I am trying to set?
Many thanks, Adam. _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to m1cfk at ne.b@hotmail.co.uk To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com
