Newbie here. I am trying to get some radios working for our VFD. It is a very small area, so we don't have a lot of money for radios. I have all the frequencies from a neighboring VFD. Their radios are kenwood TK-5220. My problem is that the RX and TX are different frequencies. I have used the split to put in the TX frequency. After sending to the Tenway UV 82 Pro, I can receive voice, but I can not send voice. The Kenwood file shows a QT/DQT Dec and a QT/DQT Enc value. I do not know where to put this info. in the chirp software. Thanks for any help you can provide. -- *David*
They are the selective squelch (CTCSS tones and/or DCS codes) used by the VFD. They are set up in CHIRP using the Tone Mode and its associated fields. Without knowing what the QT/DQT Dec (receive) and QT/DQT Enc (transmit) values are, it isn't practical to tell you how to set them up in CHIRP.
