Everything BaoFeng & VHF Radios

[znowman_9]

There are lots of blue tooth wireless mics for mobiles and handhelds. I would think you would need to make sure it would work for whatever model you have especially mobiles. I haven't tried any but would like to know how they would work in the cold for battery life.

Bluetooth is mother of all fawk ups when it comes avy transceivers.

Ok guys looking for a bit of help. I have a csv file down loaded to chirp. I have my radio hooked up with the programing cable. I can download the file from the radio but it will not let me upload a new one. Keep in mind my computer skills are not that advanced. Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Is the radio locked?
Has to be unlocked.

And do you have the correct model of radio selected?

You mean key pad unlocked? I have the right radio. don't know of anything else to unlock.

Yes key pad unlocked.

Correct comm port?

Radio volume cranked?

When you start chirp open a new file, don't try and download into the CSV file.

Only open the CSV file once you have the factory image downloaded from radio and then copy and paste the CSV data over to the radio image and then upload to radio.

I did not know I had to copy and paste it to the original file from the radio. I have it all programed now. Thanks again.

Says VHF too but maybe doesn't get a full 25W in VHF?

To program this you would need a computer I guess??

I will have to admit, the Zastone is way better than any handheld I have tried. And it even matches the 25 watt kenwood. But you really need to get the magnetic roof antenna for it as well.

Re: Everything BaoFeng & VHF Radios

I just got this speaker in the mail it seems to perform as good as the 60 dollar bridgecom one does. And I still think the Zastone A19 is a 20 watt radio as well, testing on it shows 20watt.

Re: Everything BaoFeng & VHF Radios

I cannot understand the language but it looks like it reaches 25 watts at some frequency. 152.000 looks like 22 watts
