Thanks Jim, that did the trick. I did figure out what "tuning step" meant around 3am, but didn't want to write back and admit that I was still up and obsessing over it :) I'm glad I went to bed.

I have all my channels configured now, except for the "page" channel on the Icom that I wish to emulate in the Baofeng. In the Icom, the channel is muted until it receives a 2-tone page signal. I can see how it is set up in the Icom CS-F14 program, but I'm not finding any functionality like that in CHIRP. When I click on "Settings" in CHIRP, I only get a blank field. Can I do this in CHIRP? I see nothing in the wiki about functions like this.

And, perhaps similarly, in CS-F14 under Common>Set Mode there is a squelch value variable that has been set to 125. Is that something I need to set in the UV-B5?

Thanks much! Doug

Here's what I'm stuck on. I took an image off the Baofeng to use as a
template. I'm trying to enter the RX freq of 156.2025 into the first
memory channel. When I do so, I get the error "Tuning step 2.50 not
supported...Frequency requires 2.50kHz step." I need to configure the
channel to receive on 159.000, figured I'd set Duplex to Split and set
Offset to 159.000. I'll spare you all the work-arounds I've tried, and
the other errors I've seen, 'cause I'm starting to wonder if my radio
won't support this "step", and I'm left to wonder what the heck "Tune
step" and "channelize" are anyway? I've looked in the wiki, and done
some web searching, but so far no joy. Any light would be much appreciated!

Thanks much,

Doug,

You are going about this in exactly the right way. Just use the older CHIRP daily that I pointed out earlier to get the job done. I have submitted a patch that will restore programming the UV-B5/B6 with CHIRP to a 2.5 KHz resolution and still fix the issue the previous patch was intended to address.
