Hi Marc, My experience and test as the main developer of the driver for this radio in the interaction with other users:
1 - The band limits are encoded in a high mem area with READ ONLY attribute, any attempt to write to it and the radio will reset taking itself out of the cloning mode.
2 - One user managed to get it down (you will need pro equipment and soft skill to do that) and the reception was poor in 220 Mhz and the TX on the high setting results on a lot of heat and only 1 or 2 watts of output.
Aka: it's technically difficult mod it in software and the hardware part is not prepared to manage the 222 Mhz band with the power dissipated as heat and final blowing is a high change in this situation.
My advice: sold it and get a BTECH UV5001+220 instead.

I see that this radio is supported and would like to know if anyone has any experience with it?
Will CHIRP allow permanent modifications to the band edge limits, particularly 220, as the radio is shipped 240-260 MHz?
Will the radio operate with 220 in one VFO and 440 in the other?
Thanks,
Marc _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to M.Sc.
