He is not programming it for Ham Bands he is programming for his work band and yes it can handle it. CTCSS is Tone Encode or Tone SQL ( Encode and decode)
On Chrip you set the Tone Mode to TSQL and then set the values in the Tone and Tonesql boxes. On the Baofeng on the front panel just set the RCS and TCS values and program the frequency in and then set the Duplex to 5.000 Mhz and Shift is +.
Hope this helps you out

If that is a legal radio, then you will not be able to do that because it is out of the programmable range.
70 cm is only 420 to 450 MHz. according to the “US Amateur Radio Band chart”.
See the chart at

Subject: [chirp_users] Programming Question for Baofeng UV-5R Radio
Hi everyone.
I’ve got what is probably a very basic question, but I’m not sure how to solve it.
At work we have Black Box 2-way UHF Radios with the following settings.
Receive Frequency: 464.xxxxx Mhz
CTS/DTS Decode: 100.0
2T Decode: None
Transmit Frequency: 469.xxxxx Mhz
CTS/DTS Encode 100.0
2T Encode: None
Beat Shift: No
Scan Add: Yes
Busy Lock: None
PPT ID: Off
Wide/Narrow: Wide
I am trying to program a BaoFeng UV-5R radio to work with our 2-way radio system. The question I have is what/where do I specify the CTS/DTS Decode/Encode values?
Also, any idea what the other settings in CHIRP should likely be set as (besides the frequency)
Thanks a million for your help.
