CHIRP

Matteo,

This capability is already built into CHIRP for the KG-UV6D.

Downloading from the radio should read the band limits from the radio and set them to match in CHIRP (Settings -> Freq ranges)

If they are not set to the correct range, here is what you do...

Go to the 'Settings -> Freq ranges' menu
Set VHF RX Lower Limit (MHz) to 66
Set VHF RX Upper Limit (MHz) to 87 (1 less than 88)
Set VHF TX Lower Limit (MHz) to 66
Set VHF TX Upper Limit (MHz) to 87 (1 less than 88)
Save the changes to a .img file
Load the .img file from the previous step

That's it. Now you can program frequencies from 66.000 to 87.995 MHz

Make sense?

Matteo,
The UV-5R is not capable of operating much outside of its manufacturers specified range. This is not a CHIRP issue. Please take this to the CHIRP discussion group, one of the UV-5R groups or feel free to contact me directly.
