[chirp_users] trying to put in local police frequencies
Hi, I searched on RadioReference.com for some local frequencies by zip code, and it gave me a list. I am planning on trying to enter them into a CSV file that I had previously exported. I am trying to test these frequencies on my Baofeng 5R and it does not allow me to enter the frequency, and based on the numbers, I'm thinking that that the 5R does not go to this frequency range. example: 39.820000 I thought that there is a way to force this type of radio to scan in those areas. Thanks for any help. Glenn
lowest they will go down is around the 136.000 mhz.

Glenn, There is a link in the Miklor website http://www.miklor.com/UV5R/
called Expanded Frequency Coverage. It explains the limitations of the radio. CHIRP can expand the range very slightly, but the internal filters take over.

Are you sure about that frequency? 39.82000 is a HF frequency; it is very unlikely any municipal agencies would use HF, more likely they would be using VHF, UHF or SHF. Maybe you meant 139.82000 or 439.82000?

They are talking 39.82MHZ, not 39.82KHZ. Big difference.

HF stops at and VHF starts at 30 MHz so 38.820 MHz is a VHF frequency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_high_frequency
Jim KC9HI
The 30-50 MHz band is VHF, not HF. It is commonly called VHF Low Band. It is extensively used by the military and in the past was extensively used for private land mobile radio. Nowdays there are not that many public safety users there in many areas.

I can't speak for the rest of the US, but in California, all of the County Communications centers have a low band VHF frequency they use for mutual aid in the event of a major disaster; such as an earthquake. Although seldom used, they are tested frequently.

Something to bear in mind - refer to the current ARRL Letter's article concerning an individual who made false calls on police frequencies. One of the points in the article is unauthorized possession of radios capable of operating on law enforcement frequencies is illegal in New York (where the offenses occurred). Thus, think carefully about loading law enforcement frequencies into a radio capable of transmitting on those frequencies. It's one thing to listen, it's another to even accidentally key up.

All one needs to do is to put in a bogus transmit frequency for those. Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard B.

That's an easy one. Set the radio to split frequency. Set the Tx frequency to a little used simples frequency in an amateur band.
