[chirp_users] TYT TH-UVF1 dual Band Handheld-Expanded Frequency Access

[Brad NK8J]

Amateur radio is not certified at all except for the receiver's and that's
on part 15 for those between 30 Mhz and 1 GHz in mass production.

Yes, meant to say Part 90 certification. Thanks for catching that. BTW, I
have found no amateur radios that are also Part 95 certified.

Rob,

Thanks for your prompt response, I will check on the typing for the radio, I
think I saw somewhere were it is part 90 certified? but I will look it up
using the link you gave me.

Thanks,

David

David,

I do not have experience with this particular radio, but I believe it is a
repackaged Baofeng UV5R. As such, and even if this is not accurate, there
should be a pair of settings that determine the upper and lower bound of the
VHF and UHF frequency bands. This can be found in Chirp on the "Settings"
tab; on my radio (Baofeng UV-82) is is under "Other Settings". Check this
first. Also make sure that TX (transmit) is enabled on both bands, which it
probably is if you are OK on RX and TX within the official amateur band
plans. 

Caveat: while you may have a valid GMRS license, the radio also needs to
have Part 95 FCC certification to transmit on GMRS, which I don't believe it
has. Technically, the radio needs to have a sticker with its FCC
certification on it, although most Chinese radios don't have one - depends
on the retail channel you purchased it from. It's probably Part 97
certified, but not Part 95. Since you are a professional first responder,
this could matter to you. You can check for certification on the FCC site at
apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm.

Regards,
Rob

> I have a TYT TH-UVF1 dual band handheld and it is supposed to be able to
have access to expanded frequencies 136-174 and 400-480. I would like to be
able to use for the GMRS which I also have a license for. I was told that
the CHIRP software will allow to program these frequencies and it has done
so but the radio still will not transmit outside of the amateur bands and I
do not receive on the public safety frequencies which I would like to
monitor since I am a firefighter and paramedic. If anyone has some advice,
it would be appreciated.
