[chirp_users] How to program null channels

[Ed Danley]

Hmm, I don’t have a Browser button.

I’m using the Mac version of Chirp if that makes any difference. I’ve tried both chirp-0.4.1 and chirp-daily-20150814.

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”.
