New to this list and having a problem programming my UV-5RIII - Tri-band BaoFeng, 2m/1.25cm/70cm.
I downloaded the latest version of Chirp and did a download from the radio for a template. When entering a 1.25cm frequency I receive a pop-up… (Error setting memory: Frequency 224.820000 is out of supported range, Tx freq 223.220000 is out of supported range.)
The radio had a few 220MHz frequencies preprogrammed in memory. Chirp will not let me change one of them to my desired frequencies. When using a new, default template I receive the same error.
I’ve tried importing the desired frequencies from a .csv file to an .img file and get the same error.
It’s possible Chirp is not recognizing the radio. The UV-5RIII is not listed as a UV5R variant. Although, the Chirp software settings downloaded from the radio indicate the “VHF Lower limit: 136Mhz” and the “VHF Upper limit: 260MHz”
Never had an issue with other UV-5R or the UV-82X
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

If your radio truly does support 3 bands, you are choosing the wrong radio Vendor/Model. You should be choosing Radioddity/UV-5RX3 to get the added support for the 1.25 meter band.
