[chirp_users] Band Width for UV-5R
Is there a way to change the "Wide" bandwidth to "Narrow" with the CHIRP software. I don't see it on the spreadsheet. Thanks Jim W7JWT
Actually I did find the section on settings where you could input Narrow. However, I downloaded the data to the UV-5R HT, but all memory channels still show Wide. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks Jim W7JWT
The only frequencies that need to be Narrow are the business band. Ham band frequencies along with GMRS and FRS are still wide band

FRS has been narrow (2.5 KHz deviation) since it was created. But it doesn't really matter because the UV5R is not type accepted to transmit on FRS anyway.

If it's like my Wouxun, it'll receive FRS channels, so getting the wide/narrow right can still come into play, especially if you want to mix them with ham bands for scanning, me thinks.

Once you make changes Save it first as a backup then resend it to your radio.

Thanks. I had saved it first and then sent it to the radio. No difference. Thanks Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: Brad NK8J To: 'Discussion of CHIRP' Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 12:20 PM Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Band Width for UV-5R

Jim,
It doesn't sound like you are changing the right thing. It is the Mode column on the main spreadsheet.
FM=WIDE NFM=NARROW
The upper status display of the UV-5R will show an "N" indicator for every channel that is programmed to NARROW. Having no "N" in the upper status display indicates the channel is set to WIDE.

Hmmm this may be firmware version dependent... I have BFB251 and it works. I used Chirp to send the business band frequencies I used at my old job and MURS channels that need to be narrowband to the radio. In the Mode column select FM or NFM.
