The highest repeater frequency is: 147.390 with an input (you transmit on) frequency of 147.990. Can you program that frequency in? Put in 147.390 with a positive shift of 600 kHz so that you transmit on 147.990 - that's the highest frequency allowed - anything higher would be "out of band". If that is possible, there's no problem at all.

Transmitting on 148.000 with ANY mode would be a violation of law as even 1 Hz of bandwidth puts your transmissions out of band.

Hello,

I have a UV-5R and I am not able to transmit any vhf freq above 147.975. I can program in 148.000 but all I get when I try to transmit is "Beep".

I am using CHIRP ver daily-20210930

1st time user, don't know if I am doing this correctly. Please advise.

Thanks,

Jef _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to D.J.J.

You have one of several new models that only transmits within the USA ham bands: 144-148 MHz and 420-460 MHz. Any frequency outside of those ranges is RX only. The one sold by Radioddity is called the GT-5R.

As you can see from the Radioddity page, they tend to cost less ($24.99) than the radios that can TX across the whole 130-179 MHz and 400-520 MHz ranges, so many owners mistakenly purchased them to get the "lowest price".
