Two things: First, CHIRP has this listed as not supporting airband which is why you can't enter those frequencies or choose AM. Looking at the spec sheet, that's wrong, so please file a bug on the site and I'll fix that for the UV-25 this weekend. Second, these ultra low-cost radios do not have the ability to run any channel in AM mode. They decide which mode to be in based on the frequency and CHIRP has no control over it. It's a real pain in the butt for CHIRP in that regard. Either way, the spec sheet shows that it will choose AM between 108 and 136MHz and FM on any other frequency. That means that even when I fix the above, you will not be able to get that radio on AM at 240MHz. (Please do still file the bug for posterity though). --Dan _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/postorius/lists/users.lists.chirpmyradio.com To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] To report this email as off-topic, please email [email protected] List archives: https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/
