Hey all

I want to try and put in the frequency
78.6500 into my uv 5re

What's the process ? Using the keypad to enter the number and set the STEP ?

Laine,

Here is what I would do.

In CHIRP with a valid template loaded for your radio...

in the Settings -> Other menu do the following

1. set "VHF lower limit" = 78

2. set "VHF upper limit" = 173 (not 174 as you might think)

in the Settings -> Work Mode Settings menu do the following

1. set "Display" = A

2. set "VFO/MR Mode" = Frequency

3. set "VFO A Frequency" = 173.990000

4. set "VFO A Tuning Step" = 10.0

5. (optional) make any other VFO A settings changes

now upload these settings to your radio. after the upload completes your radio will be in frequency mode with the upper display selected and tuned to 173.990 MHz.

using the radio keypad

1. tap the [UP] arrow key ~66 times (or press and hold) until the radio is tuned to 78.650 MHz.

2. (optional) write this frequency to an empty channel using menu 27
