DGP Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Ontario had the right idea...they would put their own dnr radios in every ship that was hired.The last time I was in Dryden they had over 250 ships on hire and they all had dnr radios on board.

TheMuss Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Hey Gents, The trick to the Baofeng and Chirp is to use the Split function under Duplex rather than the +/-. It involves no math whatsoever. You simply set your tone, select Split, and input your TX Frequency. Also tone is very important when programming AB and BCFS channels, as they use up to 9 different tones for their repeaters. It is best to set "Mode" to Auto, this makes inputting data into Chirp much easier. When you copy the channels to the radio it will automatically determine whether the channel is FM or AM or whatever the mode is. Start with a New page in Chirp, don't even think about plugging in your radio yet. Click the "Show Empty" at the top to see a full list from 0-500 or whatever you set the parameters to. You can make things easier by highlighting a group of channels that you know will have the same tone, right click, go to properties. Now you can click "Tone", set your preferred tone, and press ok. This will really speed things up for you. If anyone needs any help with Chirp and Baofeng radios, let me know. Depending on the interest, I may start offering a programming service for FireLine, FireNet, Simplex, and Duplex Forestry channels in BC and Alberta.

drkrider Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 FYI for those of you working in the States, hears a thread about the FCC taking action against a retailer selling Baofengs. Industry Canada could easily take similar actions up here as those radio break so many of the certification requirements for operation on commercial frequencies. Now will they? Probably not as their budget has been cut back even more then TC's. DrkRider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heliian Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 http://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-cites-baofeng-importer-for-illegally-marketing-unauthorized-rf-devices The old broken telephone of the internet. If you read the article, it really has nothing to do with baofeng and more to do with one distributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
