Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
I fellow HAM pointed me to this URL which seems pretty pretty
interesting on how to do some advanced things with these
inexpensive radios:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.elazary.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50:txrx-digital-data-using-the-uv5r&catid=14:baofeng-uv5r&Itemid=17" target="_blank">http://www.elazary.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50:txrx-digital-data-using-the-uv5r&catid=14:baofeng-uv5r&Itemid=17</a><br>
<br>
<br>
In a different article on the same site, the author mentioned he
looked at Chirp to do this programming but gave up as it only
programs memories and some radio settings:<br>

<br>
<br>
I'm curious if Chirp could actually set some of these low level
RDA1846 codes or if it really requires tearing the radio down and
doing direct programming via I2C?<br>
