Starter Program for 2m/70cm Repeaters

[Fred Kemmerer]

I’ve attached some files which can be used to configure HTs and other radios for local 2m and 70cm FM repeaters. The files also contain simplex frequencies for these bands. The files are in RT Systems Programmer (in .zip format) and CSV formats. They were made to program a BaoFeng UV5R HT but they should work for other radios as well. Let me know if you need any help in applying them.

This is perfect timing.  I’m waiting for my Baofeng UV5R to arrive in the mail this week.  Thanks Fred!

I just posted the equivalent file for Chirp in a new topic before I saw this topic. I’ll attach it here too. The other topic has some hints and kinks about using Chirp.

BTW, I also have a Baofeng cloning cable if anyone wants to borrow it. This is so you can copy one Baofeng to another (probably only the same model). I have not tried it, so it would be an experiment for all concerned.

Ok, apparently my original post has disappeared into the great bit bucket.  So let me summarize my hints.  First, Chirp is open source and free.  Not sure about RT Systems, but Chirp also supports a LOT of different radios.  Here is a link to it:  http://chirp.danplanet.com

As to using it, the trick is to download FROM your radio first.  That will get all the non-memory stuff that Chirp supports.  Then you import the CSV file which contains only memory stuff, and which overwrites the memory part of what you downloaded.  Then upload back to your radio.

Do feel free to talk to me if you are having trouble.
