Hi Aldo,

You probably don't have a full and working connection between the computer and radio. What is the error message?

The program says "cant afford the ammount of data..."

Are you running Windows?
Does your programming cable have a Prolific type chip inside?
The the answer to the above questions is "yes", then have you downloaded, installed and selected the Prolific v3.2.0.0 device driver?

Here is how it is done. http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php

If that is not the issue, then add a debug.log file with the error.

Jim/Team. Can someone have a look at making the frequency expansion work?

Throw the programming cable that is offered with the radio away - it's a poor quality CH340 chip/cable.
Search online for "FTDI USB programming cable for UV-9Rplus BF-9700".

Chirp will then work connected as UV-82WP or UV-82III.

Hope this helps!

I cant seem to toggle between Frequency Mode and Channel mode via the menus/buttons like a UV5R etc, you need to power it OFF and On again...

Turn OFF radio, hold "MENU" button down as you turn radio back on and it toggles to FREQ mode

Do the same process to toggle back to CHAN mode

My UV9R-ERA TX testing in to a dummy load w/frequency counter:

< 130.000 was all over the place...not stable, and froze/locked the radio
130.002 - TX was counted at 130.003
130.005 - TX was counted at 130.006
130.060 - TX was counted at 130.060 getting interesting!
130.100 min TX without freezing/locking -TX was counted at 130.100

178.175 max TX without freezing/locking -TX was counted at 178.175

400.000 min TX without freezing/locking -TX was counted at 400.000

519.990 max TX without freezing/locking -TX was counted at 520.000

Attached image was created for UV9R-ERA - Upload to Radio via UV-82WP

  1. Squelch tweaked
  2. VHF upper frequency expanded to match my testing:

VHF Lower Limit (MHz): 130
VHF Upper Limit (MHz): 179
UHF Lower Limit (MHz): 400
UHF Upper Limit (MHz): 520

YMMV

Yes. They are both the same. There is now a selection for the UV-9R radios because they will display 7 character channels names where the earlier "waterproof" radios will only display 6 character names.

CHIRP is just displaying the limits as they are currently set in the radio (in this case, the values that were set at the factory).

CHIRP is set to allow you to program any step compatible frequencies in the following ranges...

VHF: [130].0000 - [179].9975 MHz
UHF: [400].0000 - [520].9975 MHz

This is the way it has always been for these "waterproof" radios. The band limits on the "Other Settings" menu page only affects the frequency range that can be entered into the VFO from the keypad. The frequency ranges above are always available no matter what the band limits are set to. If you want the 176 that was set by the factory changed to 179, then change it. But you don't need to. Just go to the spreadsheet style memory editor and key in 179.9975. It will go right in as it always has.

I believe this one is resolved?
