I have a quick question for the group. I have purchased a Baofeng VU16 Pro (Dual Band model). Somehow I have overwritten the base file I had saved when I got the radio before I started programming it with CHIRP. I have also reset the squelch settings and have set them too high. I have searched the web and have yet to find a copy of the base file. I have checked out RT Systems, but they shouldn't be the only software to program he radio. I see so many others reference CHIRP for the Baofengs, I agree, I don't get all the features uploaded (I use Baofeng BF-F8HP) to program as my radio isn't listed (yet). I hope I'm not breaking any rules but I'm also posting this to the Chirp group in hopes of getting assistance also. What I'm looking for is the following: 1. Base file for the Baofeng VU16 Pro Dual Band radio 2. The original numbers for the squelch settings for the VU16 Pro Thank you in advance -- Eddie Carroll KD4BAS Western KY USA

Has anyone else tried to use a CTCSS receive tone on their BF-F8HP? If I have a transmit CTCSS tone configured, I cannot make a receive tone "stick". That is, when I exit the menu, the setting reverts to "off". And if I try to set it to TSQL in Chirp (CTCSS xmit and rcv), the setting will get copied to the radio, but I can never hear anyone who transmits a CTCSS tone. Also cannot hear repeaters that transmit a tone.

Our club has bulk purchased a bunch of Baofeng UV-S9X3 to sell or give away to new hams. The UV-S9X3 is a tri-band radio that makes a great introductory radio. We have a Chirp file we use to program the radios with our local standard frequency list. the list includes 2 meter, 1.25 meter, and 70 cm repeaters and simplex frequencies. The issue is with a few of the radios, they will not transmit on 220. Utilizing Chirp they program just fine, but will not transmit on 220, while the rest of the bunch do program and transmit on 220. Any help in solving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Rich, KR4PI

Greetings I'm new to the group. I just purchased a UV9R Pro (because it is more water resistant than other BaoFeng models. I tried to program using BaoFeng USB/chipset cord and CHIRP (ver CHIRPNext 20230515). Did the normal CHIRP routine, downloaded the (New) RADIO program load first, assuming I could then upload my existing frequency list with couple hundred entries. Instead the new UV9R Pro in CHIRPNext requires save the Downloaded new Radio program as an IMAGE file (dot img). So I did that in CHIRPNext. Now I have my old long frequency list as a CSV file and am unable to just upload it like I used to for previous radios UV5Rx3, BFF*. Am I doing something wrong? How do I get a list of frequencies in CSV in CHIRPNext into a Image file that the new UV9R Pro accepts to upload? Appreciate all helpful tips, I'm not a computer geek/expert so file types baffle me and I can't find anything in the CHIRP instructions OR new UV9R Pro addressing the different program load file types... Thanks in advance, 73, Ed/KC3NAF

Hi Tony; Thanks for the feedback! So I initially did what you say, download the new radio image file, copy my existing frequency list CSV file into the radio image file and save with a new name. Didn’t work. Obviously I’m doing something wrong (operator error) and will try again tomorrow! (Work day today). Thanks again!

How do I get a list of frequencies in CSV in CHIRPNext into a Image file that the new UV9R Pro accepts to upload? Quite easy ... open 2 tabs in chirp-next. In one tab, load the image file, in the 2nd tab, open the csv file. Then select everything in the csv file tab and paste it into the image tab, then upload the new image tab to the radio. Be sure to save the amended image to a local file so that you can modify it and upload later. The beauty of chirp is of course its price, and the vast variety of radios supported. It's worth making a donation to them.

All programmed manually, receives voice and repeater id, signal appears on TinySA on or near correct freq (same as old icom ht) but no audio to repeater or it fails to key repeater. Just finished test with all band receiver and both icom and UV-5R are exactly on freq with same audio so I conclude the Bearfang is not sending the CTCSS tone. Any suggestions? 73 Karl KI4ZUQ

The Baofeng speaker mic has OK speaker but the microphone is terrible has anyone found a decent speaker mic for this radio Tnx Jack W4GRJ

I have a DM-1701 and an Anytone 878UV. On the Anytone there are two different areas, one for digital talk groups and another for digital contacts (DMR IDs) that can be displayed on a received signal. On the DM-1701 there is only one area labeled digital contacts. As I read articles on the web it says you can put either talk groups or digital contacts of the DMR ID type in that area. The articles say one or the other but not both? I know you must have talk groups to create channels. You do not need to have the DMR database loaded in the radio to use it. I see lots of articles about how to load the DMR ID database but none about loading the talk groups. I loaded several talk groups into the digital contacts area of the codeplug and am using the radio, it works great. But I get no display about the transmitting station except their DMR ID that is being sent by their radio. Can I load both talk groups and DMR ID database into that one area? Or how do you manage that on a DM-1701? Fred, K0FG

Looking for a charger for a BF-F8HP.. Mine stopped working. Also as antenna for it.. Uses a SMA Femail antenna dual band.. Thanks Skip

I have a speaker mic connected to my UV9R. This is it: https://www.baofengradio.co.uk/original-baofeng-portable-speaker-mic-microphone-for-uv-9r-uv-9r-plus-a-58-9700-walkie-talkies/ It's been working fine for several months, but recently when I turn on the radio, it immediately starts transmitting and none of the buttons on the radio are responsive. If I disconnect the speaker mic, the radio operates normally so I am assuming that the issue is with the radio mic. Has anyone seen this before, or does anyone have tips on how to troubleshoot? I have raised a query with Baofeng customer support (In the UK) , does anyone know how good or otherwise they are? 73 Paraic EI9IRB

Charlie . . . <w5cdt@...> wrote: I was under the impression that the company got in trouble with the FCC (they did), and they had to make changes to them so they couldn't transmit out of band. Maybe that's only part of the story? I have one of the old ones. I also have some BF-888's that can be made to operate out of band. The packaging said they were license-free. I thought they were FRS radios. They were cheap, something like $30 for 2 with all the accessories. They can be put on the 440 ham band, also FRS, GMRS, and even other frequencies. I'm sure they're no longer allowed to sell them in the US, but they're a great way to have a radio for FRS that transmits way more power than an FRS radio is supposed to.

What is the "popular merhod"? ?Dave Springer, N0TXJ Get BlueMail for Android ?

Hello, I'm a new member of this group; with five Baofengs, and if I'm allowed to mention it, a Wouxun KG-UV9D plus, all of which I've gathered over the last 6 or 7 years or so. Because of increasing deafness, (me, not the radio's!), they've never had much usage, as I took the decision about twenty years ago, to change over to digi stuff, almost exclusively PSK. PSK is getting rare nowadays, and so FT8 was the next thing, but the Baofengs keep winking at me, and I know that they want to go out for exercise, in the company of an Arrow 2/70 beam, so I'm going to go try APRS through satellites, and possibly set up one HT at home, to keep me amused, and for anyone else to access of course.

I bought a UV-5R because the price was so low and it works fine, essentially the same as my UV-S9PLUS. The manual received with the UV-5R includes more detail than do the manuals received with my other Baofengs and it includes two methods for adding offset to channel memories. The one that I've been using for years with Baofengs and others is described in "6.11 Repeaters Programming" in which one enters the repeater frequency, the offset frequency, the offset direction (+ or -) and, if required, the CTCSS frequency. That works fine with any of my three Baofengs. The manual describes, in "6.10 Manual Programming," a different method in which the repeater frequency is stored first, followed by an audio announcement "received frequency" and then the frequency to be used to transmit to the repeater is entered and stored in the same memory location. That procedure is followed by an announcement "transmit frequency." This procedure can be carried out with either my UV-5R or my UV-S9PLUS, but with both Baofengs, the offset that results is actually twice the desired offset, at least on two meters which is the only band I've tried. If I enter, for example, a repeater on 145.430 MHz and it requires a negative offset, I enter the second frequency as 144.830 MHz. But when I access the stored memory channel and key the transmitter, the frequency transmitted is actually 144.230 MHz. I don't really need this procedure, but I'm wondering whether I'm getting it wrong or whether anyone else has run into this. 73, Maynard W6PAP

It programs fine and works as it should on 2M & 440, but even though the offset is showing in CHIRP, and the display shows the +-, the radio doesn't shift transmit to the offset on 220. Has anyone else run into this problem with the UV-S9? Solutions?

Here's an interesting one, Suddenly around January this year the screen on my 5RT stopped having anything on the display (well if you get the angle and lighting just right you can just about make something out). It was working fine the day before and I discovered it upon lifting it out of the charger and turning it on. Thinking perhaps its just got too cold as it was in an out building with no heating that it was just a screen fault, so I purchased a new one and fitted it, but alas it was no better. I then did a factory reset before taking it apart again and this time cleaned the contacts on the board, the new screen and zebra strips with some isopropanol. Still no better, however I noticed if you press lightly on the screen the display momentarily works. I put the radio to one side and only had another look at it the other day, I cleaned the board again, tried another screen then scratched my head as it's still no good. So I thought I might as well ask on here if anyone has any ideas as all I can think of now is its either a component failure, a hidden setting or to try reflowing the board. Yes I know they are cheap and some consider throw away, but it would be nice to fix it.

Jack . . . You may need to refer to the manual for this, but some radios have a weather channel monitor for NOAA weather radio stations. In my Icom 5100, for example, many people set their local WX channel up and set it to monitor the frequency for WX alerts. This stops audio while it checks for an alert, then returns to the frequency you've been listening to. This might be the case here, but I don't have the radio. See if there's a monitor function that needs to be set to off. I don't see a WX monitor function, but look at page 17 in the manual: https://ia801509.us.archive.org/31/items/baofeng_UV82_Manual/UV82_Manual.pdf look under TDR (dual watch/dual reception) It allows the radio to periodically check to see if it's receiving a signal on another frequency. Make sure that's off. Menu items are described on pages 14 and 15. If that doesn't help, perhaps someone who has the same radio can help.
