[chirp_users] How to program null channels

[Ed Danley]

I have a similar issue but at the opposite end of the spectrum. I want to program a frequency that is slightly out of spec. I bring up Chirp, go to Settings, then Other Settings and adjust the UHF Lower Limit (MHZ) to 396. I then reload the radio and I’m able to tune in my frequency in question. However when I reload those setting from the Radio, I can’t edit that value (assign a name) in the Memories mode of Chirp. I get a message about being “out of range”.

Thanks for the great software for noob ham’er and my little UV-5R.

I was able to do this with a version of Chirp from 2014 but I recently tried to upload my old .img to a new UV-82 and was met with a firmware incompatibility message. In my new .img I set the channels I want to use (0, 3, and 4) and want the rest of the channels to be completely unavailable (if you are on channel 0 and press the up arrow then you immediately go to 2 having skipped 1). I thought the way to do this was to was to set the frequency to 0.000000 but I get an error message about being out of reference. I also tried to use a CSV file to import and saw just the few channels I need but this didn't result in the radio only having those three channels. I am including a screenshot of my old .img in hopes this can be guiding.
