[chirp_users] Programming Arcshell-5

[JP]

Typen, your last email about programming the Arcshell units was very much
appreciated.

I had unsubscribed from the user forum last week as I found that the advice
given enabled me (I thought!) to reprogram several units without a hitch. I
changed all the channels to the first 16 FRS-approved channels, but I did
not lower the power setting for those permitted only for 0.5 W on the first
iteration as I just wanted to ascertain if I had done things otherwise
correctly. No other program settings were changed before uploading the new
settings to the units. Indeed, the two units functioned OK it seemed until
I tried to use the ‘scanning’ function assigned in the OEM programming to
Channel 16. This had worked under the previous OEM programming. I found
that it would not work on either unit after changing the channels, even
though they could send and receive on all the other channels properly. I
want the scanning facility preserved on all the units so I re subscribed to
the Users Forum in hope of a solution.

I understand from you and your colleagues that this unit is still not FCC
approved and will never be unless certain changes are made and the units
are then officially approved. Rest assured they won’t be given into the
hands of 3 years olds to talk on the beach, but only used briefly and
hopefully rarely in the event of an impending fire disaster in our
community with some frail neighbors who need checking on if cell towers and
power lines are down (which has happened before). I appreciate all you
guys’ expert advice and I trust you will still impart whatever guidance
needed here to bring this feature back.

Thanking you,
Jonathan
