[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UVD1P Extended Coverage

[Milton Hywatt]

Definitely try the latest stable build if you don't have it installed.
I can't recommend installing the daily build because they sometimes
have a bug or two. I finally bit the bullet and installed the daily build 
on my Mac, the app doesn't really install, so I can run two different 
app builds side by side. And I also installed it on my Windows 7 desktop
with no problems. And yes there are new features at least for the Wouxun 
and Baofeng radios. Both of which I own a couple UV6D and UV5R models.

Hi All,

I am not sure if this would be a bug, feature request, or
 something that 
is already fixed, so that is why I am starting my search with an e-mail 
to the group.

I have a UVD1P that I am programming for a client.  Using Chrip, I 
already extended the Rx side of the radio up to 490Mhz because he needs 
to receive up in the 480Mhz part of the band.    That mod seems to have 
worked as I can go into the VFO and add the frequency in by hand.  
(*disclaimer, I didn't see if it was actually receiving anything up 
there yet).

The problem is, when I try and program the extended frequencies in with 
Chirp, I get a software error stating that the channels that are above 
479Mhz are out of range for this radio.    True, on the default settings 
they are out of range, but after doing the software mod via chirp, they 
are no longer out of range.

Is there anyway in Chirp to program these extended frequencies? Has it 
been included in the
 latest daily build and I just missed something?    
I figured I would ask here before I submitted a request via the bug 
tracker / issue / feature request page.
