Glenn, in case it's useful, here's the full Chirp CSV for the non-ham receive frequencies I have. Of course the repeater offset, tones, etc. are simply ignored by the radio.

Air	118	0.6	88.5	88.5	23	NN	AM
SEACH1	158.8	0	88.5	88.5	23	NN	FM
SeaHF8mh	8.1	0.6	88.5	88.5	23	NN	USB
CB19Truk	27.185	0.6	88.5	88.5	23	NN	AM
CB9Emrcy	27.065	0.6	88.5	88.5	23	NN	AM

I have put a long wire on the antenna terminals and received somewhat better the Sea going HF frequencies around 8MHz but it's not close to DX.

I also have several 220MHz ham frequencies I use in this table. Chirp is pretty neat. When I load up the other radios without 220 those channels are left empty. Chirp is a great piece of software.

I too plan on putting in the CB frequencies.

Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Programming The Kenwood TH-F6

Glenn, I have a well worn, scratched up TH-F6. I don't use memory banks. I have just over 100 frequencies in my Chirp CSV that's shared with a TM-D700 and a Baofeng UV82. Yes, there is a 0 and that's where I put 146.520 hailing frequency. Receiving outside the VHF and UHF range is not good. I'm guessing the combination of filters and the antenna cause that. Because I want to track the truckers on CB on the road and I'm by the sea on vacation. Here are my HF frequencies:

Air 118

SEACH1 158.8

SeaHF8mh 8.1

CB19Truk 27.185

CB9Emrcy 27.065

Hi,

I'm hoping my new programming cable comes today so I can program my Kenwood TH-F6 hand-held.

So I know that it has over 400 memory slots, and it can RX all the HF frequencies.

So I'm wondering how it works while in Chirp, so I can plan my CSV file.

Since I'm Blind and cannot read the display, I may have questions that might otherwise seem obvious to you.

1: Does it have a channel 0, or do they start with 1?

2: I read of banks of memories in groups of 50 for different bands. Is this have to be kept to, or is it just a convenience?

In my Baofeng's CSV file, they are intermixed.

3: Can anyone recommend some common HF frequencies that I can program into it?

Thanks.
