<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">In CHIRP with a valid template loaded for your radio...<br><br>in the Settings -> Other menu do the following<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">1. set "VHF lower limit" = 78<br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra">2. set "VHF upper limit" = 173 (not 174 as you might think)<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">in the Settings -> Work Mode Settings menu do the following<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">1. set "Display" = A<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">2. set "VFO/MR Mode" = Frequency<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">3. set "VFO A Frequency" = 173.990000<br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra">4. set "VFO A Tuning Step" = 10.0<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">5. (optional) make any other VFO A settings changes<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"></div><div class="gmail_extra">
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">now upload these settings to your radio. after the upload completes your radio will be in frequency mode with the upper display selected and tuned to 173.990 MHz.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
using the radio keypad<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">1. tap the [UP] arrow key ~66 times (or press and hold) until the radio is tuned to 78.650 MHz.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">2. (optional) write this frequency to an empty channel using menu 27<br>
