[chirp_users] FM broadcast reception and Chirp
The current discussion brings up questions for me. I like to insert one or more FM broadcast stations in the 88-108mhz US FM band. The times I have inserted one of the station in a Chirp image it gets removed when uploaded to the radio. Am I making the entry wrong or will it not store it in one of the 128 memories?
Thank you. Jim Pruitt
In Chirp for my radio, there is a second tab for FM broadcast band memories. I don't think I've ever seen them available to save in the regular memory.

Hello Chance.
I do not remember ever seeing that option on my UX5R variant (GT3). I can enter the fm station but can't store it (to my knowledge).
Thank you. Jim Pruitt

This link describes saving FM stations. It's how mine looks.

Nevermind, there's no picture, and it says you can't store them. I will take a screenshot of what mine looks like. Maybe I'm confusing it with my BTECH UV-5001.

You didn't say which radio? Since you mentioned 128 channels I will assume you are referring to a Baofeng UV-5R or similar radio. Broadcast FM is on a separate chip from the 2-way radio chip. It only has storage of the currently selected broadcast FM frequency. In other words, it can remember the current frequency across power cycles. The frequency cannot be saved in any of the 2-way radios channel memories. CHIRP can preset this value but that is all CHIRP is capable of doing because that is all the radio is capable of doing.

This is what I was incorrectly remembering. It does seem to keep the value, but you can only set one. [image: Inline image 1]
