Dear Chirp Team:
I’m a newcomer to Chirp, having found it following an interest in getting a
repeater-capable handheld, that led me to Btech’s GMRS-V2 as a starter radio.
While Chrip presently has a beta-version interface to the GMRS-V2, I found it
to work well and I’ve been able to program about 20 frequencies into the radio
with regional repeater stations, and a mixture of VHF and UHF frequencies for
local fire, police, businesses, etc. Chirp makes this relatively easy (provided
you enter all of the data correctly, of course) and is more user-friendly than
the CPS software from Baofeng, which is really meant for their UV-82 series on
which the GMRS-V2 is based.
One thing I’ve noticed is that while Chirp uploads to the radio and gets
CTCSS and DCS codes and other settings correct, after programming the radio is
showing the “+-“ symbol for a frequency offset on all of the channels that I
put in with no offset. I checked the image file I’d saved and see that the
column labeled “Duplex” does show as “off” in all cases. The radio works OK,
though, so I describe this as more of a feature and less of a bug...
Does anyone have an idea of something I might be doing incorrectly in the
use of Chirp? Or is this a feature of the current Chirp version when writing to
firmware in the GMRS-V2?
Sincerely Yours,
Sam Thurman
Valencia, CA
