you have downloaded from your UV-5R (or loaded a .img file that was
created from your UV-5R) you should go to the Settings > Other
Settings menu. Here is where you can set you VHF and UHF lower and lower limits. Here is how mine are set:<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">VHF Lower Limit(MHz): 100<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">VHF Upper Limit(MHz): 199<br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra">UHF Lower Limit(MHz): 200<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">UHF Upper Limit(MHz): 999<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Now
when I am in either the [A] or [B] VFO set to VHF, I can key in frequencies form 100.0000 -
199.9975 MHz. When either VFO is set to UHF, I can key in 200.0000 - 999.9975 MHz.
Obviously the frequencies that you can key in are dependent on the STEP
setting for that display's VFO.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The
allowable range in CHIRP is from 1 to 1000, so there is nothing
stopping you from setting either or both VHF and UHF VFOs to 1 - 1000.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Also, if you want to scan between 800 and 850 MHz you would set either the VHF or UHF limits as shown below:<br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_extra">VHF Lower Limit(MHz): 800<br></div>VHF Upper Limit(MHz): 849<br><br></div>Now with either the upper [A] or lower [B] VFO set to VHF, scanning the VFO with a STEP of 2.5 KHz will scan from 800.0000 to 849.9975 MHz.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Any frequency that you can key in can be stored in a channel using menu 27 just like you would with any frequency with the factory specified limits.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
So here you go. Just don't expect any results much outside the factory specified limits.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Jim KC9HI<br></div></div>
