Thank you for the reply. I have the CPS software so that's not an issue. I
have known that one could hex edit but nobody would ever tell me exactly
where. They would tell me go find out. Or go read some obscure document.
The irony is I am a programmer and I know how to use a hex editor. It's
amazing and frustrating at the same time that people know how to do it but
don't want to openly share it. They might be afraid that I work for
Motorola or something I don't know.

I was told that chirp was capable of dropping what was referred to as the
"peer" down on both ends. As a extra class I say humbly with my Sheriff
years I've never heard it referred to as that. I'm always heard it referred
to as a frequency. LOL.

I bought a high split UHF XTS 3000 after being told it was "easy" to drop
it down to 439 where I needed it. It would also allow me to listen to LA
County Fire and LAPD. I don't need to transmit to either one of them. But I
was told it was easy. Then nobody would tell me how to do it. LOL. It's not
easy to me. So now I'm going to next XTS 3000 sitting on the shelf doing
nothing.

Now I've got a couple of low band cdm's and CHP starts at 39 MHz. The split
is 42 MHz - 50 MHz. I did read the W9CR and it made it look like there were
only two spots are needed to change to change the split. But I was
specifically referred here again because apparently where is plugs into
chirp somehow.
