Definitely try the latest stable build if you don't have it installed. I can't recommend installing the daily build because they sometimes have a bug or two. I finally bit the bullet and installed the daily build on my Mac, the app doesn't really install, so I can run two different app builds side by side. And I also installed it on my Windows 7 desktop with no problems. And yes there are new features at least for the Wouxun and Baofeng radios. Both of which I own a couple UV6D and UV5R models.

Hi All,
I am not sure if this would be a bug, feature request, or something that is already fixed, so that is why I am starting my search with an e-mail to the group.
I have a UVD1P that I am programming for a client. Using Chrip, I already extended the Rx side of the radio up to 490Mhz because he needs to receive up in the 480Mhz part of the band. That mod seems to have worked as I can go into the VFO and add the frequency in by hand. (*disclaimer, I didn't see if it was actually receiving anything up there yet).
The problem is, when I try and program the extended frequencies in with Chirp, I get a software error stating that the channels that are above 479Mhz are out of range for this radio. True, on the default settings they are out of range, but after doing the software mod via chirp, they are no longer out of range.
Is there anyway in Chirp to program these extended frequencies? Has it been included in the latest daily build and I just missed something? I figured I would ask here before I submitted a request via the bug tracker / issue / feature request page.
