<DIV class=gmail_extra>Hi Tom,<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_extra>After 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>
