• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

So I have used Chirp over the years however got in a Quansheng UV-K5 that uses the CPS programming software. I have been out of Ham Ops for 3 years so having to refresh my self in programming so thats the first issue. When you dont use thing you forget things. Atleast in my case..

I tried to copy the info from chirp manually but either i am placing inf in the wrong field or I do not have a option selected correct. For simplex GMRS for example simplex works perfect. But every repeater I put in none hit local repeaters that i can get easily on my other radios. I even tried to trasmit using a sma to so239 patch cable to my antenna at 3oft. No dice. I really think I have a setting wrong or something not selected. attached are som inages of a few lines I have in CPS channel 3 and 4 for example I know these are active repeater I can hit with my other HTs so I will attach repeaer book images for those 2. Does anyone see where I am screwing up in the programming software.

Any help is appreciated

Here are the repeater book settings rep2.jpg

Make sure the frequencies are the right way aroun. Can you screenshot your fault code plug, that would make guess work unnecessary

Make sure you transmit on the right position on the radio : the radio has A and B « bands ».
You could very well have the radio set to receive both but set to always transmit in the B side…
so anything you will do on the A side will have no effect on your transmit, as the radio will alway use the B side memory channel / VFO to transmit.
