Does anybody hass the same problem in LATEST CHIRP,
I can read all from my UV82
AND
from my UV82BF.
I can not load my frequenties from UV82B in my UV82 MODEL.
IN CHIRPPROGRAM NOT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE MODEL.
I don't understand how that is?

Hello,
I have a question about how CHIRP handles GMRS radios, e.g. BTech GMRS V1
and Retevis RB26. I've noticed that CHIRP enforces that GMRS channels
follow the FRS channel number and frequency pairings, e.g. Channel 1 is
462.5625, Channel 18 is 462.625, etc. I've been trying to find in the FCC
regs if this mapping is a requirement of GMRS operation. The only place
I've found the channels spelled out is on 47 CFR Part 95B ?95.563 "FRS
Channels" (link), but GMRS seems only to specify the frequencies and
bandwidth which may be used via Part 95E ?95.1763 "GMRS Channels" (link).
It's entirely possible that I've missed the clause requiring this mapping,
and I am not a lawyer, so apologies if I've overlooked it.
When I am programming a GMRS radio, I don't always want what my family
refers to as our "channel 1" to be 462.5625. Likewise I may want to set up
different repeaters that may use the same frequencies, but different tones
(especially on radios where I cannot edit the tone from the radio itself)
I am able to program the RB26 to accept an alternate GMRS-legal frequency
with a little trickery, so there does not seem to be a firmware restriction
enforcing this and it hasn't bricked my radio (yet).
Would it be possible for CHIRP to accept GMRS-legal frequencies in any
channel slot, and not require the FRS channel-frequency mapping?
Thank you,
Chris Romp

Hi,
You can put the frequencies on any channel you wish, the channels are just your radio selections for those frequencies.

The BTECH GMRS-V1 channel assignments are in firmware. Even if CHIRP
would let you put in different frequencies, it wouldn't make any
difference. Channel 1 will always be 465.5625 MHz.
The Retevis models are programmed to match how the OEM software
behaves. Some of the newer Retevis models let you program the GMRS
frequencies in the radio however you please.

Andre,
Because when you are uploading, the tab is specific to the radio
Vendor / Model that it was downloaded from. The Vendor / Model are
greyed out because the tab must go back into the same Vendor / Model
that it came from.
You can only choose the Vendor and Model selections when downloading,
but even then, you must choose the Vendor / Model that matches the
radio that is being downloaded from.

Hi, Leilani.
I have a BTECH UV-5X3 and had some simple issues trying to program. When
you attached the cable to the radio, was the radio on or off? Is it on or
off when you get the error message? (I had to make sure it was off when I
plugged it in, then on when I tried to upload the radio data to CHIRP, and
if it asked me to turn it on or off I did that) Is the cable pushed all the
way into the radio? (not trying to be condescending...that was one of my
problems...the plugs have to be pushed in hard)
...hoped that helped...

It's also mentioned in the features & description section of the listing:
??CHIRO SUPPORT(Model: KT8900D). FREE software can be download at FONGHOO official website.
I assume CHIRO means CHIRP.
I also looked at their UV20 radio on Amazon, and the supplied microphone is marked "QYT"...

Andre,
I am going to assume you want to copy your channel memories from one
radio to another and the radios are not the same.
Use the export and import function
Here is more detail.
