Are you sure about that frequency? 39.82000 is a HF frequency; it is very unlikely any municipal agencies would use HF, more likely they would be using VHF, UHF or SHF. Maybe you meant 139.82000 or 439.82000?

Glenn,
There is a link in the Miklor website http://www.miklor.com/UV5R/
called Expanded Frequency Coverage.
It explains the limitations of the radio.
CHIRP can expand the range very slightly, but the internal filters take over.

Subject: [chirp_users] trying to put in local police frequencies

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
