Help will be greatly appreciated. I have two Baofeng BF-F8HP and was successful in modifying the operational range of them.

I have used the 108.00 lower range on VHF to try receiving Air Band, but still have to confirm if I can receive on that range.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">One problem I have with CHIRP is that it does not allow me to add channels on that range which would be very useful to identify by name those frequencies (GROUND, ATIS, APPROACH, CLEARANCE etc.) CHIRP says those frequencies are beyond operational range.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I can save those frequencies in memory on the radio interface but I cannot add a name to them.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Is there a way to make CHIRP do this, or does it need this added as a new feature?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Augusto Gabaldoni<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>chirp_users mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com">chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com</a></span><br><span><a href="http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users">http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users</a></span><br><span>To unsubscribe, send an email to <a href="mailto:chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com">chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com</a></span></div></blockquote></body></html>
