[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R Frequency mod

[Laine Gadd]

Hello Jim 

You said you can enter any frequency in to the radio via the keypad 

how do you put in a frequency like 76.040 seeing its only 5 numbers

Cheers 

Laine

It probably wouldn't work with your radio if it has a firmware version higher than BFB290. Besides, CHIRP is no longer packaged the way it was back then. So you couldn't apply this hack the way it was described anyway.

If you find any frequency that is useful to you, just program it into a channel using the keypad. CHIRP will download and upload that memory channel just fine. You just won't be able to edit it in the spreadsheet memory editor.
