<ul></ul><p>David,</p>
<p>Sometimes these VHF/220 radios come from the factory with the byte that CHIRP uses to determine if the second band is UHF or 220 set to UHF. This can usually be "fixed" by resetting the radio. Here is one way to do it.</p>
<ol>
<li>launch CHIRP</li>
<li>download from the radio (this will create a tab with the current channels and settings)</li>
<li>save this tab to a .img file (this tab will now have the .img filename in it)</li>
<li>reset the radio (press and hold the [MENU] key while powering the radio ON)</li>
<li>download from the radio a second time (this will create a second tab with the 220/UHF byte set to 220)</li>
</ol>
<p>While the second tab is selected, see if you can now key in a frequency in the 220 MHz range. If you can, continue. If you can't, see below.</p>
<ol>
<li>copy and paste the channels from the first tab to the second tab.</li>
<li>edit, as needed, the settings of the second tab</li>
<li>save the second tab to a .img file</li>
<li>upload the second tab to your radio</li>
</ol>
<p>Do not ever load the first tab or the .img file from the first tab back into your radio. If you do, CHIRP will think it is a VHF/UHF radio again.</p>
<p>If after you get to step 5 and you still cannot key in a 220 MHz frequency, attach the .img that was saved from the first tab and I will switch it to VHF/220 and return it.</p>

The 220 support was broken with the 20140601 release. I'll be working on it. In the mean time you can use to 20140428 daily build for 220 support.<br>
