[chirp_users] [SPAM] Re: Uv5r’s went tx after chirp config

[Eric]

Jim,
	If you don't mind an additional question to Brandon's, to transmit on the following Groups would require the frequency ranges listed below.
		Group		Frequency
		FRS		462-467
		GRMS		462
		MURS		151-154
		STAR/DOT	151 & 464-467
		BIZ		151-158
		Marine		156 

So you would need a radio that transmits between 151-158 MHz and 462-467 MHz.  
And, I am guessing that the "2021" models or those that are "FCC Part 15 Part 97 Certified. FFC ID:2AJGM-UV5R" are not the ones that will transmit on the above Frequencies.

This one should work for the above listing:

Is this correct?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Brandon,

When ever I try to clone the new 4 they do nothing when I try to transmit . The channels all take after cloning but I can’t use the radio. Function restores after a factory reset. Radios were purchased from the same vendor, and  my new cable was purchased from the same vendor as well . first one was flawless but misplaced. Any ideas?

My guess is that when you bought the second batch of 4 you purchased based on price and totally missed that the cheaper UV-5R radios being sold today are firmware locked to only transmit within the 144-148 MHz and 420-450 MHz USA ham bands. Any frequencies programmed outside of those ranges are TX disabled (RX only).

For example, these Amazon listings state "* Frequency Range:
144-148MHz, 420-450MHz"

https://smile.amazon.com/BaoFeng-UV-5R-136-174-400-480Mhz-Transceiver/dp/B007UYKG4E

And this one states "* PLEASE PAY ATTENTION to that the item is the latest version of the UV-5R radio, whose frequency is 144-148/420-450Mhz. You have to set the frequency among 144-148Mhz/420-450Mhz,or the radio will not transmit "

To program these radios so that CHIRP automatically shows the channels locked (Duplex = "off") the same as they are in the radio, you should be using Vendor: Baofeng / Model: GT-5R

If you want a UV-5R that will transmit across the same range that it will receive, you will have to spend more money on the ones that aren't yet locked in this manner yet (and are becoming more scarce every day).
