[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV3D CHIRP support and a question on the memory chip replacement
Hi,
I am a bit confused about CHIRP support for this radio. It is listed on the home page, but the software does not present this model in the dropdown list when I attempt to download from it and I do not see it in the model_supported.html file on the download page.
Can someone clarify this for me? I need to write a new img to my radio I think. I was successful in replacing the nvram chip (I had the infamous Wouxun radio losing it settings and memory issue) by following the process listed at http://tim-yvonne.com/ham/wouxun-memory/index.htm but the radio reverted to some other band than what I purchased it for (this problem also documented at the site listed above) after I completed the memory replacement procedure.
I'm stuck, I fixed the memory issue and tested it by manually programming two channels and those settings were retained after removing the battery and reinstalling it. But now I am getting the Channel Freq Out of Range issue for channels that previously worked just fine before the chip transplant.
Any thoughts on this issue?
Change the range in CHIRP for the radio. I know it can be done on Baofengs, it should work for Wouxuns, I hope.

Hi Robert,
Use KG-UVD1P for the UV2D and UV3D. It looks to me like you download and use the "rescue" image from the webpage that you referenced.
