[chirp_users] Adding 2m and 70cm repeaters

[David]

Hi everyone,

You guys were incredibly helpful recently in getting me started.  I've now successfully uploaded marine VHF, 2m and 70cm simplex channels to my Baofeng UV-5R III, thanks again.

I'm now having a few problems in adding repeaters and I hope you can similarly help.

I have a CHIRP file for relevant UK repeaters.  I'm guessing that they are from an older version of CHIRP as some of the column headings are different.

I'm manually entering the info.  All ok except these. The (old) file of repeaters shows these columns:  Tone. rToneFreq. cToneFreq. DtcsCode. DtcsPolarity. Tstep

I'm trying to enter:-
Tone, always Tone
rToneFreq, either 110.9, 82.5 or 103.5.
cToneFreq, always 88.5
DtcsCode, always 23
DtcsPolarity, always NN

My version of CHIRP isn't quite the same.  Here are my issues.

In CHIRP, I populate Tone Mode to Tone.  My next 2 columns are Tone and Tone Sql.  I seem only able to enter one of these columns as when I enter the second it automatically changes the previous Tone Mode to another preset.  Simialrly, the Tone Mode autochanges when I try to populate any of the DTCS Code, DTC Rx Code and Cross Mode.

Hopefully, I've explained the issue clearly. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance

Kind regards
