I am glad you are not holding him back.

Re: I need a UV82 that won't transmit
Get him a used FRS radio. Even one that works wouldn¡¯t interfere with anyone.

BL-1 Bluetooth programming device
If anyone else in this group has the TIDRADIO BL-1 Bluetooth programming device, could you please contact the APP developer (TIDRADIO) and ask them to change the Pale Light Blue font color to BLACK as it¡¯s virtually impossible to read. I¡¯ve already done this and actually gotten a reply back, but everyone who can do this should as we¡¯ll get a quicker response.? The older I get the harder it is to see some colors and the pale blue is next to impossible to see.?
Thanks!
Rod KC7CJO I¡¯ve already done this,_

Re: I need a UV82 that won't transmit
I figured that you were going to buy a separate radio for him. If you want to use a single radio, then this becomes a bit more difficult.

Re: I need a UV82 that won't transmit
If you are using CHIRP, in the settings section, there is a pair of settings to enable VHF tx and UHF tx. If you also disable the reset option, I believe that should make the radio "safe". Of course, carefully check the radio(keeping in mind that Baofeng firmware can vary, so YMMV). If you are using the Baofeng s/w instead of CHIRP, then maybe the same functions are available.

Re: Interested in your device
From M0NOY to Rodney Kraft
Thank you for your comments.?? Towards the end of September I would hope to have time to purchase and then learn to use? this device.?? Regards David? ( M0 NOY )
M0NOY,
Interesting call!
I brought the device (BL-1) with me and have been able to use it to program frequencies, change settings¡from my phone with very few problems, and those were from it being a very simple device, or rather the phone app being way less complicated than CHIRP.?
The one drawback for me is that when you finish with a channel, and hit the channel button, you have to scroll through the entire channel listing from ¡°0 -127¡± EACH time.?
BUT, it programs easily. It¡¯s REALLY nice in the fact that there are NO computers or cables involved.?
TWO thingS that DO need addressed:
1) the charging port cover is VERY difficult to open. You almost need a knife blade to pry it open, or just cut the thing off!? Gets really frustrating, for me any way.?
2) ?The power button is WAY TOO sensitive!!
The device needs to be transported in its own container as if somehow the button gets bumped it will tur on and does NOT turn off!? No off timer.?
I got to my destination and the device was dead!? Fortunately I brought the charging cable.?
Other than those issues, WELL worth the money.?
Am still playing with it so will let you know what else I find, if anything.?

Hi, folks. I just picked up a UV-S9 Plus and am looking for other owners who have overcome some of its shortcomings.? I have a PI2303 programming cable that's working well, and the latest version of CHIRP. I've set the radio to RadioOddity 5x3 as mentioned by others. I can see data being read from and written to the radio, but am running into a couple of problems:
- Settings set manually using the keypad don't get reflected when I download from the radio.
- I'll download a file from the radio, open it in Excel, make changes, save it as a CSV and open it in CHIRP, only to find fields half-completed in the CPS.?
Would love to connect with other S9 owners who may have a tip or two. Thanks, all. 73, WE4VER Eric

Not a problem.
It's always best to quote part of the original message to give
everyone some context. What was confusing was that the subject line
was even different from the original poster's about the Bluetooth
programmer (which sounds like an interesting device).
You can quote part of the original message on the group site
by selecting text in the original message then clicking reply, and
that selected text only ends up in the reply.
You should be able to do that in your email interface or program but
how you do it may be different between providers or programs. I just
select text in mine (like it works in the group web interface) and
click reply in my email program and it quotes only what I selected.
(When using my phone, however, it's a lot more complicated and I often
just quote the entire message if it's not a long one or full of
replies. It's not easy to delete out parts of the previous post in my
Android email program.)
