Hi again,
I've found a workaround and I've programmed the Baojie BJ318 properly with frecuencies multiples of 6.25 or 12.5:
Edited line 99 of chirp_common.py found at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp
COMMON_TUNING_STEPS = [5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, 50.0, 100.0]
Add 6.25 and 12.5:
COMMON_TUNING_STEPS = [5.0, 6.25, 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, 50.0, 100.0]
I think program uses the default values on this radio, and default values doesn't include 6.25 nor 12.5 steps.
Regards,

Hi,
I've checked specs and 218 supports those steps. In fact, in Chirp in the settings (after downloading settings as bj218 from the transceiver) I can set the step to 6.25, 12.5, etc. So Chirp lets you set that step on config. But not on the moment you specify a frequency multiple of that step.

Perhaps the BJ-218 doesn't support 12.5K. Chirp thinks your radio is a 218.

Hi,
I'm a happy user of CHIRP with a Baofeng UV-5R!
Now I've purchased another chinese radio, Baojie BJ-318. Chirp supports BJ-218 in fact I think is almost the same.
Program works with it, downloads and uploads data.
BUT I cannot specify, for example, a channel with a frecuency "145.2875" CHIRP says that "Error setting memory: Tuning step 12.50 not supported - Frequency requires 12.50khz step".
Which is false, radio supports 6.5/12.5 steps and in fact MANUALLY you can save 145.2875.
Is this a bug, or a feature? :-)
Thank you!!!
