[chirp_users] Baofeng Radio Help
I have used CHIRP to program Baofeng UV5R with my localFirst Responder frequencies. However, I still cannot pick them up. Does anyonehave any advice on what I am doing wrong or suggestions for me to try?

Hi Donie,
Attach your image or at least describe how you've programmed the channel(s).
But some quick advice would be to start out with Tone Mode set to (None). No tone for receive always works. Then once you can hear, you can move forward from there.

Donie, Had same happen here on my UV5R & finally found out that they either changed frequencies or went digital (P25, NAM, Etc. Tones). If they went Digital but stayed on same freq. all I'd hear was garbled audio................Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Donie Allen via chirp_users To: chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2017 2:41 PM Subject: [chirp_users] Baofeng Radio Help

The emergency response community has changed to narrow band. Some are digital.

Hi I suspect you have done this, but just in case. First enter the frequency of your repeater. Then set the return frequency in the offset column. You can usually enter this as 145.625 or whatever. Later the programme will show as an offset figure, not the frequency that you entered. You need to tell the program that this is either a '-' or '+' offset. You will need to set the relevant CTCSS tones etc. for that repeater, whatever they are. If you have done all this then I have no idea what the problem is.

Donnie, The wife and I are 1rs and we both use uv5rs that receive very well. I suggest your programming is not right. Many vhf uhf fire repeaters are split oddly and not by the same amount. If you r not hearing any radio traffic at all ur radio prgmg is not correct. Sarge and Linda Grayson,Fannin County Texas
