[chirp_users] Entering airband frequencies

[Roland Welte]

Hi Jim KC9HI

Thanks so much for your help.

I loaded test module 11046 and I ran an initial test with my 5RX radio. So far so good. I could enter airband frequencies and upload them to the radio. What does not work is entering frequencies from the FM radio band (65-108 MHz). This results in an "Invalid Entry" error message. I have attached a debug report.

Thanks again,
Roland

However, the 5RX radio covers airband frequencies (108-136 MHz) which the UV-5R does not, so Chirp won’t let me enter airband frequencies (although downloading these frequencies from the radio works fine). Is there a trick to circumvent Chirp’s validity checks when entering frequencies?

The UV-5R support is limited to the bands that the radio supports. But there is currently development going on for this model and a test driver module available for testing and feedback. Searching the CHIRP Activity page with '5rx' will currently bring up the active issue
(#11046) at the top of the list. I have provided a direct link to the ticket below.

The current vendor/device selections are currently Baofeng / UV-5RX but I have plans to change that to '5RX' with the next test build or submission.

Please test the driver module and provide feedback.
