Thanks Milton for the hint.   I was using an older Daily Build.  I just downloaded the Oct31 release and that solved my problem.

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.
