[chirp_users] question on configuring a frequency
I have a baofeng F8HP that I would like to add a frequency to. The details I have are as follows Frequency: 472.6125 Type R Tone C12 How can I input that Type and Tone value in Chirp? Can I? Thank you Rob
Since 472 is not in one of the allowed HAM bands you may be able to listen but are prohibited from transmitting with an amateur license.
Chirp will allow the frequency to be input but I have no clue about the non-standard tone and type. Sending it to the radio may be problematic as well.

So a quick google leads me to believe this is a law enforcement frequency, so I'll ask what is the service you hope to monitor? Where did you get that listing? If we know what you hope to monitor, we may find an alternate source for the information. That C12 tone setting looks vendor-specific, it likely 'maps' to either a standard DCS or CTCSS tone.
Unless it is a digital mode Color code, but that feels unlikely...

To just listen, you don't need to program a tone. You will have to find out what the frequency equivalent for C12 is. Then for TX/RX of the tone, set tone mode to TSQL and finally select the matching frequency in the column that becomes non-blank.
