[chirp_users] Programming a Baofeng GT3
A few of questions on the above subject when using Chirp:-
Can you confirm when setting the ctcss codes for transmit and receive you use the columns 'tone' and 'tonesql' ?
I have tried to set these columns to 67.0 but when uploaded to the radio they get set to 118.8. How do I fix this?
I am trying to set up my radios to to talk to a friends Motorola T80 using a PMR a channel with a ctcss sub code. The Motorola uses a step of 12.5 on ctcss against an average of 2.5 on the Baofeng. Is there any way to alter the step sequence on the Baofeng?
Cheers

a step of 2.5 it compatible with a 12.5 step! 5 clicks to 1

The problem is the ctcss codes on the Baofeng seem to increase by random amounts ranging from 2.3 to 3.7 on the codes I have checked so far.

The "steps" you are concerned about have nothing to do with CTCSS (or DCS) tones. They have to do with programming the operating frequencies of the radio. Tones are standardized. Just use the same tones (from the drop down boxes) as the Motorola.

That isn't random amounts. There are 50 standard CTCSS tones and the up/down arrows scroll through them.
It also has nothing to do with the VFO frequency tuning steps of 2.5, 5.0, 12.5 KHz.

Thank you for the responses.
I've now found out that the Motorola has 121 sub codes made up of 38 ctcss and 83 dcs. I assume the first 38 will be ctcss followed by the dcs. With only 38 ctcss against the 50 on the Baofeng the are going to be gaps which may explain why I was not connecting between the radios apart from 67.0. I only tried a couple and gave up.
I will check this out tonight.
Cheers

Just to confirm I now have the Motorola and Baofeng radios communicating with each other using dcs sub codes.
Thank you for all the help. It is good to know you are all out there.

Calum,
That is great news. Thanks for the follow up. Have a great weekend.

When programming with CHIRP running under Windows, after selecting the tone in the dropdown menu, you must either press the [Enter] key or click on to another cell to make the selection "stick". If you fail to do this, the setting will revert back to the original selection. You can click the [Refresh] button to see if the new selection "stuck" (if it reverts back the new setting wasn't fully selected).
You don't have to worry about this when running Linux or MacOS X.
