[chirp_users] CRT Micron Frequency Issue
Hi everyone I have just bought an expanded CRT Micron UV. It has frequency coverage of 136-174 and 400-490. CHIRP is not allowing me to enter frequencies outside of 144-146 & 430-440. Has anyone else encountered this? Is it a CHIRP issue perhaps? I am able to enter the frequencies manually onto the radio and using the OEM software. But frankly that is a really bad program. Thanks Paul G7BHE

You might be able to edit the appropriate Chirp config file to expand the allowable frequency range.

Sounds like CHIRP is reading the radio as a European version, as those are the ham radio limits there.

Hi Paul,
The driver for the Anytone AT-788UV, Retevis RT95, CRT Micron UV, Midland DBR2500, etc. is currently a work in progress. It currently only directly supports entering frequencies within the USA 2 meter and 70 centimeter ham bands (because the radios used to develop the initial driver were factory set to only cover those frequencies). There aren't any settings implemented yet, as well. It is being worked on.
My Retevis came from the factory set to cover only "ham" frequencies. I have switched it to cover 136-174 MHz and 400-490 MHz. For testing I also programmed the local NOAA WX Radio frequency. I must say, that is about the best audio I have ever heard coming from the local NOAA WX Radio transmitter.

Dear all Thank you so much for your various replies. I have my fingers crossed that CHIRP will fully cover the CRT Micron UV. It is becoming an increasingly popular radio here in Europe. I’ll carry on plugging away with the OEM program until such a time. Thanks again. Much appreciated. Paul G7BHE
