[chirp_devel] Baofeng - Programming specific RDA1846 codes via Chirp possible?

[David Fannin]

Most likely requires direct programming via i2c.

Chirp only modifies the memory map, not the firmware.  I took a look at the
Chirp source driver for the uv5r.py, and it appears to only contain
channel/freq/features settings, nothing low level like the RDA1846 codes.
This is consistent with most other radios as well.

hope that helps,

Dave
