hi!
I am looking for a replacement battery for my old UV-3R.
it should be a lion battery gb/t 18287-2000 but haven't found it...

thanks in advance

KK4IXE, I have been using voice for over a decade. Recently found an interest in using APRS and hope to use it over my Baeofeng coupled to my iPhone. I intend to receive weather and emergency updates and communicate over SMS to my wife while doing fieldwork in wooded areas. Can anyone offer guidance here??

Respectfully
Terry

Thanks for letting me know.
Went into my profile and took care of it.

That's a good price for an entry-level HT radio.

I have one and like it. It's not built as well as my Anytone HT, and doesn't
have as much power output, but you can't beat the price.

A version of the UV-5R called the GT-5R has come out on Amazon that apparently is made with a bit more QC. Identical looks. It is touted that it is "legal" and won't bleed into the rest of the RF environment. Costs about $30.

I just found a sample codeplug here.


This should do the trick.

I have tried youtube a few times but never found anything.
Could you give me the links for the one your speaking of?

Would anyone have any experience with this HT using it on DMR Repeaters?

A friend picked one up and was asking me if could be programmed to work on DMR Repeaters.
I can't find much on this HT.? I could use a sample Codeplug configured for any Repeater.
That would tell me what I need to know to help program the local Repeaters .

Thanks,
Ken

How about rearranging the memory channels so the one you want will be the one it
defaults to instead of trying to tell it to use memory X? Would that be good
enough?

That's not good enough :-)
... but that is what I have done.

Is possible your version of CHIRP might be different and have those fields
in a different tab, so look around in Chirp if that is the case.

Don't forget to follow proper procedures to upload the file from the radio
first, make your changes, then download back to the radio.

Everything is in the same place. MR A channel is set to 1, MR B channel is set to 4. On start up the radio usually goes to 0, but sometimes some other channel but B goes to 4.

Before copying from another CHIRP file into the one for your current radio, did
you first download the database contents FROM the current radio to establish all
the data fields?

I did a full reset on the radio. Twice. Switched from Chinese to English. I downloaded from the radio after reset. I opened the old file and copied only the channels to the to the DLed file and then copied settings over.
Still doesn't start on the last channel used.

Downloading FROM the radio first sets up all the cells for the radio. If you
merely copied a file from another radio and uploaded it to your radio, and it
wasn't exactly the same radio, if there was one more cell for data or one less
on a data row, you would not be successful.

Also, is the cable working for you as far as you can tell? From what I read, it
looks like you were able to download the data from the radio.

The only other thing might be that you don't have the volume all the way up so
the data transfer can be made without any missing information.

Just trying to rule this out before suggesting that you get in contact with Dan
at CHIRP.

As a last resort, RT Systems software should work. It's not free, of course, but
it just works. I don't know what they do different, but I think they start with
CHIRP and enhance it, add model coverage to what's already available, and
possibly more.

I did a full reset and then copied the channels from another Chirp file. Same results.

Those are set.
