How can I use Chirp to re-use One Master File for multiple Radio Brands & Models? Our Church in Northeast Texas has over 400 licensed hams with various brands & models of Ham Radios. Is there some way for me to build One Master file of Repeaters that everyone can use to put all of us on the same o

If you're not configuring specific settings on the radio, perhaps you could distribute a CSV of the channels that they can import into CHIRP? At the very, very least, it'd be readable in Excel/LibreOffice/Google Sheets if for some reason it wouldn't import. Jim On Thu, Jun 20, 2019 at 9:32 AM Bil

Yes.  Build your master file as you would, say, a Lotus 1-2-3 file.  Save it.  You should already have the radio-specific files downloaded from each radio when new.  Open the file whenever you wish.  Place your cursor in the upper left-hand corner of the spreadsheet.  Drag it to the lower right

P.S.  If you do not have all 400 files on your computer, have each member send you their file as an attachment to an email.  Open their Chirp file.  Then open the master file and follow my previous instructions.  Save the file with its new date and attach it to an email and send it back to them

Using your UV-5R on FRS frequencies will be a violation of Federal Law. That radio is not, nor can not be, type accepted for that service. On Thu, Jun 20, 2019 at 4:25 PM Todd J. Unkefer wrote: > I can hear the FRS radios on their respective channels, I cannot transmit > on those respective chan

Let's not play police here. I do believe that the FCC has allowed some of the FRS frequencies, now up to 2 watts. To answer the question, make sure the same frequencies are in the column next to the receive column. I don't recall if they are labeled RX and TX or what. Glenn From: John Wuest Se

The UV5R is illegal on FRS. The reason is because they are not type accepted. Main reason is because the antenna can be removed and replaced with other antennas. FRS radios have fixed antennas. Jock On Thursday, June 20, 2019 Glenn At Home wrote: Let's not play police here.I do believe th
