Basically, it says that the radio will scan 108 up to 999, skipping cellular. It doesn't appear that the screen shows AM/FM mode; however, Menu item 46 toggles AM Mode on and off.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>I was pretty sure that the issue was the mode setting. I had just programmed the radio in South Fl for a trip up to Lake City in North Fl. I had overwritten an aircraft band entry with the 146.94 repeater up there. On the trip up, scan would open the squelch frequently with static generated by cars in close proximity. I was able to pull up the repeater so the offset and PL set
correctly. As soon as I discovered the garbled receive problem and re-entered the info into memory the interference issue was solved.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>The previous owner used G4FHQ programming software. In hind sight I should have done a master reset since he couldn't explain the hyper memory settings or what was stored. I hope you fix the Skip feature. I'd like to wait until that works to give CHIRP another try. <br></span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Thanks,</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>N4KJA<br></span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b>

Just<br>editing the memory will make chirp try to tiptoe around all of the<br>settings it doesn't know about. If you do a delete operation (so that it<br>shows 0.000MHz in grey) it should wipe the entire memory channel and<br>start fresh. That'd be my first step.<br><br>-- <br>Dan Smith<br><a target="_blank" href="http://www.danplanet.com">www.danplanet.com</a><br>KK7DS<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>chirp_users mailing
