Here's some further information I discovered:
I went into the on-screen programming mode for the Motorola radio, and changed the setting for 'Interference Elimination mode' from 1 to 0. When I did this, I could communicate in both directions between the Motorola and the Baofeng. From the Motorola manual, Interference Elimination mode 0 disables interference elimination mode. In the Motorola manual, Interference Eliminator code 1 is identified as '67.0 Hz'. This same table goes on to identify Digital Interference Eliminator Code 39 as Code Word '023' which appears in the Baofeng programming as 'DTCS Code' and 'DTCS Rx Code'.
I'd like to program the Baofengs so that they match the default factory configurations of the Motorolas, which means setting the Interference Elimination mode back to 1. Any suggestions on how to configure the Baufeng to match this setting?
Thanks, again.

Hello, I just joined this group, after downloading and using CHIRP. Thank you all for a very helpful application.
The principal at my son's school asked for my help. They have a number of Motorola XTN XU2600 radios, that they'd like to gradually replace with Baofeng BF-888S ones. I'm trying to use CHIRP to program the Baofeng radios so that they interoperate with the Motorola ones, using the same channel numbers.
I was able to run CHIRP and successfully downloaded the settings from the Baofeng. However, I don't have a programming cable for the Motorola, and the Baofeng one doesn't fit. I changed the frequencies in the Baofeng to match the UHF frequencies I found in the Motorola user's manual, but the radios don't communicate. I left all the other columns unchanged.
Subsequently, I changed the 'TONE Mode' to 'None' for all the channels. I then noticed that the Baofeng could receive on channel 1 when I transmitted on the Motorola on channel one, but the Motorola couldn't receive from the Baofeng.
I believe that I need all the information for all the columns to get the Baofeng working with the Motorola. Can anyone point me to a CHIRP .img file or a .cvs file for the Motorola XTN XU2600? I'd be happy to send my factory-default Baofeng BF-888S .img file to anyone, or to a repository, for future reference. Is the Motorola set up to use any of the stock configs?
This is what I have programmed in the Baofeng for channel 1: Freq: 464.500000 Tone mode: none Tone: 88.5 ToneSql: 69.3 DTCS Code: 023 DTCS Rx Code: 023 DTCS Pol: NN Cross Mode: Tone->Tone Duplex: none Offset: 0.0 Mode: FM Power: High Skip: S
Thank you for any advice or guidance you can give me. Thank, again, for such a useful program.
