[chirp_users] COM 5

[Michael Brazier]

Hey Jim thank you.
It's amazing what knowledge does for a person.  As you may have guessed I
don't have any regarding this sort of thing, I'm just trying to help a Mate
out.  So I have now cloned the 5RTP and if I understand what you said I have
to manually edit it and then upload back to the radio.  I can't just upload
the 5R+ image?  Also, would I be correct in saying that Chirp only accesses
the UHF band on the radio?  I would love to get in and learn about this but
since my stroke the memory is not that good.  Thanks again Mate, it is
greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Mick.

radio without any problem (had to change from COM 5 to 4).  Now I plug the
UV-5RTP in and it goes to start to upload but then I get "An error has
occurred - Radio did not respond.  Something in my brain is telling me I
should be doing something else to prepare the radio but since my stroke the
brain doesn't always work that well.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Mick,

I'm going to take a guess that you are not trying upload a CHIRP Radio Image
that came from the UV-5RTP. The UV-5RTP is a radio with 3 power levels and
need to be accessed with CHIRP using the BF-F8HP model selection. So you
must download from this radio with the correct model selection, edit the
channels and setting, then upload it back.
