<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>David,<br><br>I do not have experience with this particular radio, but I believe it is a repackaged Baofeng UV5R. As such, and even if this is not accurate, there should be a pair of settings that determine the upper and lower bound of the VHF and UHF frequency bands. This can be found in Chirp on the "Settings" tab; on my radio (Baofeng UV-82) is is under "Other Settings". Check this first. Also make sure that TX (transmit) is enabled on both bands, which it probably is if you are OK on RX and TX within the official amateur band plans. <br><br>Caveat: while you may have a valid GMRS license, the radio also needs to have Part 95 FCC certification to transmit on GMRS, which I don't believe it has. Technically, the radio needs to have a sticker with its FCC certification on it, although most Chinese radios don't have one - depends on the retail channel you purchased it from. It's probably Part 97 certified, but not Part 95. Since you are a professional first responder, this could matter to you. You can check for certification on the FCC site at apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm.<br><br><font style="" color="#0000ff"></font> Regards,<br>Rob<br><br><br><div>> From: wdseay@msn.com<br>> Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 17:14:49 -0400<br>> To: chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com<br>> Subject: [chirp_users] TYT TH-UVF1 dual Band Handheld-Expanded Frequency Access<br>> <br>> I have a TYT TH-UVF1 dual band handheld and it is supposed to be able to have access to expanded frequencies 136-174 and 400-480. I would like to be able to use for the GMRS which I also have a license for. I was told that the CHIRP software will allow to program these frequencies and it has done so but the radio still will not transmit outside of the amateur bands and I do not receive on the public safety frequencies which I would like to monitor since I am a firefighter and paramedic. If anyone has some advice, it would be appreciated.<br>> <br>> David<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> chirp_users mailing list<br>> chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com<br>> http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users<br></div> </div></body>
