  • Re: Baofeng UV-5R / GMRS

    From Robert Wolfe@954:895/1 to Sirronmit on Tue Sep 8 08:39:00 2026
    It's a menu-driven win32 console utility I wrote since I was never
    able to figure out how to get CHIRP or Baofeng's programmer to
    display in English instead of Chinese. Written and built using PowerBASIC 10.03 for Windows.

    Strange .. I've been using CHIRP for my UV-5R for quite some time.

    yeah, my issue right now is that for some reason I can hear repeater
    chatter, but when I key up it's like im not even broadcasting when i
    know i am, but others cant seem to hear me.

    Sure you're not using a dummy load? :)
