<font face="times new roman" size="3"><p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Chirp won't let me type in UHF frequencies in the file even before uploading to the radio.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">I saw the message below & checked settings and yes lowest UHF is 400. High 520. Won't let me type anything in the 440 range.</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The radio accepts UHF if I manually type it in on the keypad.</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The CHIRP used to accept UHF & shows them on my old files, but when I try to edit the old code-plugs, they bonk into an error.</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The thread below never explained how this was resolved or maybe didn't match my issue of the settings (upper-lower limits) already being correct.</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Thank you, I'll give it a try. I have never changed any of those settings though and nobody else had access to the device. Unless the device was shipped with these settings.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Since the Wouxoun has the same problem, I wonder where this setting is coming from as I didn't set it - makes no sense to restrict your own device.</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Somebody changed them from the factory defaults (typically VHF Low: 130, VHF High: 179 and UHF Low: 400, UHF High: 520) to VHF Low: 100, VHF High 199, UHF Low: 200, UHF High 999. It was the UHF Low: 200 that was causing the issue.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Baofeng UV-5R/UV-82 like radios send the band limits to CHIRP as part of cloning initialization process. That is what CHIRP uses to determine if it is programming a VHF/UHF model or a (now rare) VHF/220 model. Older radios always send the factory band limits. Some of the newer radios will update what is set back to CHIRP based on what the user may have changed the band limits to. On the models that do this, setting the lower UHF band limit anywhere from 200-299 will cause CHIRP to thing it is working with a VHF/220 model that doesn't support UHF frequencies.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">I thought about changing it band limits back to factory but opted to keep the same range and just move the split.</p>
