[chirp_users] How to program null channels
Dear fellow Chirp'ers:
I am trying to program in a few channels while leaving some channels blank. I was able to do this with a version of Chirp from 2014 but I recently tried to upload my old .img to a new UV-82 and was met with a firmware incompatibility message. In my new .img I set the channels I want to use (0, 3, and 4) and want the rest of the channels to be completely unavailable (if you are on channel 0 and press the up arrow then you immediately go to 2 having skipped 1). I thought the way to do this was to was to set the frequency to 0.000000 but I get an error message about being out of reference. I also tried to use a CSV file to import and saw just the few channels I need but this didn't result in the radio only having those three channels. I am including a screenshot of my old .img in hopes this can be guiding.
I thank you for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,
B Stone
I have a similar issue but at the opposite end of the spectrum. I want to program a frequency that is slightly out of spec. I bring up Chirp, go to Settings, then Other Settings and adjust the UHF Lower Limit (MHZ) to 396. I then reload the radio and I’m able to tune in my frequency in question. However when I reload those setting from the Radio, I can’t edit that value (assign a name) in the Memories mode of Chirp. I get a message about being “out of range”.
Thanks for the great software for noob ham’er and my little UV-5R.

Ed,
CHIRP is currently programmed to let the user only enter frequencies that are "in spec" because frequencies that are "slightly out of spec" not reliable. One radio might go down to 396 MHz, but another may only go down to 398 MHz.
But it is still easy to do what you want to do. Program the channel into the spreadsheet style memory editor with a name and other parameters using and "in spec" frequency. Then use the "browser" to change the frequency to the "out of spec" frequency that you want (you'll have to click the [Refresh] button to see the change).
Jim KC9HI
Thanks. I'll give this a try this evening!

Hmm, I don’t have a Browser button.
I’m using the Mac version of Chirp if that makes any difference. I’ve tried both chirp-0.4.1 and chirp-daily-20150814.

Ed,
It isn't a button. It is a tab on the left (under the Settings tab). Here are my channel 0 settings in the Browser of CHIRP daily-20150814.

Note that you have to have developer tools enabled in order to see that tab.
It probably goes without saying, but be *extremely* careful with the things exposed in that browser. It is meant for developers who know what they're doing to twiddle bits in the memory image. It will let you easily do damage to your radio without warning. Hopefully it is obvious, but using that tab definitely voids your CHIRP warranty... :)

I should have known that. I guess I am so used to seeing it that I expected it to be there for everyone. My bad.
I should probably disable that option and only enable it when it is needed. Thanks Dan.
Jim
I should have known that. I guess I am so used to seeing it that I expected it to be there for everyone. My bad.
It's not because it does no sanity or semantic validation of input, allows tweaking of bits directly, and offers the ability for people to quickly turn their radios into doorstops :)
I should probably disable that option and only enable it when it is needed.
Well, it's extremely handy for developers like yourself. Maybe we need to make the tab colored red to remind everyone that danger lies ahead...
--Dan
Hoo-rah - that worked.
I had played with the Developer option last night but I guess I didn't restart with it already turned on.
Understand being careful with the Browser option.

Baofend has changed the memory layouts of these radios more than once of the last 3+ years. Images from a radio with one memory layout must not be uploaded into a radio with another memory layout. So CHIRP no long allows you to upload an image file into a radio unless a 14 bytes of the firmware version exactly match.
1. Load the image from your old radio into CHIRP. 2. Download from your new UV-82 into CHIRP. 3. Copy and paste the channels from the "old" tab to the "new" tab. 4. Upload the "new" tab to your UV-82.

Hi Jim and thank you for the speedy reply. I've succeeded in making a new .img file but I'm still unable to do the channel skip as I once did. Setting channels as 0.000000 results in an error message. I'm trying to make this radio as easy to use as possible and eliminate any unused channels and this new memory layout makes it more challenging than less. Do you have any ideas on how to narrow down the radio to just 3 channels and no more?

Brad,
If you don't want a channel in the radio, you don't program it. Using you example of channel 0, 3 and 4, here is what you do.
1. Click on any memory Loc number to highlight that row 2. Press Ctrl-A to highlight all 128 memory rows 3. Ctrl-click on row 0 to un-highlight it. Repeat for rows 3 and 4. 4. Press the Delete key to erase all data from the highlighted rows (all except 0, 3 and 4) 4. Upload to your radio.

I tried that previously. It does remove the frequency, but if you go through the keypad and program that memory slot with a new frequency, it will keep the old "name" that war originally in that memory location.

Do you know how to delete a memory slot for Loc 1 while keeping all others? Let's say I only wanted to keep Loc 0, 3, and 4. I tried highlighting the row and clicking delete but nothing happened. I'm using CHIRP daily-20150814 and Mac OS X 10.10.5.

about being out of
reference. I also tried to use a CSV file to import and saw just
the few
channels I need but this didn't result in the radio only having
those three
channels. I am including a screenshot of my old .img in hopes this
can be
guiding.
I thank you for your time and assistance.

David,
You are right. CHIRP currently does not clear the "name" when a channel is erased in the UV-5R driver. File a bug and this can be changed.

Brad,
If you don't want a channel in the radio, you don't program it. Using you example of channel 0, 3 and 4, here is what you do.
- Click on any memory Loc number to highlight that row
- Press Ctrl-A to highlight all 128 memory rows
- Ctrl-click on row 0 to un-highlight it. Repeat for rows 3 and 4.
- Press the Delete key to erase all data from the highlighted rows
(all except 0, 3 and 4) 4. Upload to your radio.

Hi Jim and thank you for the speedy reply. I've succeeded in making a new .img file but I'm still unable to do the channel skip as I once did. Setting channels as 0.000000 results in an error message. I'm trying to make this radio as easy to use as possible and eliminate any unused channels and this new memory layout makes it more challenging than less. Do you have any ideas on how to narrow down the radio to just 3 channels and no more?

- Load the image from your old radio into CHIRP.
- Download from your new UV-82 into CHIRP.
- Copy and paste the channels from the "old" tab to the "new" tab.

Dear fellow Chirp'ers:
I am trying to program in a few channels while leaving some channels blank.

In my new .img I set the channels I want to use (0, 3, and 4) and want the rest of the channels to be completely unavailable (if you are on channel 0 and press the up arrow then you immediately go to 2 having skipped 1). I thought the way to do this was to was to set the frequency to 0.000000 but I get an error message about being out of reference.

Yes. It will for any radio that uses the "uv5r/py" driver.

Hi Jim,
I've tried these instructions but when I click "delete" nothing happens. I receive no prompt or other indication. If it matters I am using Mac OS X 10.10.5 and CHIRP daily-20150814.
