[chirp_users] Blocking Transmit on Selected Channels
Greetings,
I am programming some radios for auxiliary volunteers with our local fire department. We wish to provide them the ability to monitor the county sheriff repeater, but to not be able to transmit to it. After poking around the best I could come up with was to set Duplex=split and Offset=0.00000. Is there a preferred method?
Thanks, Jim
Jim, Duplex=OFF will prevent Transmit. Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim McCorison To: chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com Sent: Monday, August 12, 2013 6:51 PM Subject: [chirp_users] Blocking Transmit on Selected Channels

So you want to make it impossible to transmit to the sheriff repeater or just not transmit at all when the PTT is pressed?

Hi Jim,
It depends on the radio that you are programming. On the radios that I have been involved with (Baofeng UV-5R, UV-B5 UV-82 and Wouxun KG-UV6D), to inhibit TX all you do is set Duplex=off and CHIRP handles the details.

OK folks, I am sorry.
Please remove me from this user group as it is not what I thought I was signing up for.
Thanks.

Does chirp work with Windows 8? Jack W4GRJ
Yes, it does.

Indeed. Note that the duplex=off setting was a late addition so many model drivers don't claim to support it. If you have one where duplex=split,offset=0.0 works, let us know and we can trivially add the duplex=off capability. We just need to know which models can handle this easily without having to tease out a tx-inhibit bit.
That said, if you've got one where a tx-inhibit bit is the required way and are willing to help a developer tease out the bit, it should be fairly easy.
Ok Dan, I own the Anytone yahoo group. In the QPSAT5888UV software it has a transmit inhibit. I use this because I listen to law enforcement on one side of the radio and amateur on the other. The AT5888UV has a big obnoxious button to switch the marshall side from A to B or B to A. I found myself once changing sides from amateur to law enforcement in the middle of a conversation. Lucky for me I did not program a PL tone encode for the law enforcement channel. I then went into the software and found that I could shut of transmit for whatever channel I wanted. I've made special announcements about this in the group. An accidental transmit while rare, onto a public service frequency could get you into trouble. So I guess I'm asking how much trouble would it be to add this transmit inhibit to Chirp for all these Chinese LMR radios? Much thanks and kudos to the software.
