Help & Advice

Have you connected to the right COMM port?

If you're in Windows then you can check your COMM ports by going to Control Panel >> Device Manager >> Ports.

If on Linux then you can open a terminal(Ctrl+Alt+T) and type in "

dmesg | grep tty

" and it should show you your COMM ports (usually start with "tty").

Check your ports without the radio connected and then do it again with the radio connected. Whichever port appears the second time round will be the radio.

Keep note of the COMM name/number.

Plug you radio in and open the attached .csv file in CHIRP.

Go to Radio >> Upload(Alt+U) then select your radio brand, type/model and COMM port.

If you want to do it manually then you can open up CHIRP and download from radio(Alt+D) or (Ctrl+O) for a new file. Then you can put the Output freq under Frequency, name under Name. You can then choose the offset direction which will be - for GB3HN. Next to the offset directtion box put in the offset freq (0.9).

For the CTCSS Tones click on TMode and select Tone. Enter the CTCSS freq next to it and then you can upload to your baofeng.

Let me know the details if it doens't work.

Hope this helps :-)
