Howdy,
I'm a rural volunteer firefighter, been using an UV82L for a few months with no issues programming to receive traffic from the local fire/sheriff departments. However, I've attempted to program the radio with CHIRP to transmit dispatch via a repeater, and to transmit to local portables/mobiles on my fire department's 2 frequencies.
These are the two channels I would like to transmit on, derived from the RR data base for Kirbyville FD, Jasper County, Texas:
Jasper County ESD #3 (Kirbyville):
Frequency 154.84500
Input 158.91000
Tone 100.0 PL
Type RM
Mode FM
Kirbyville, City of:
Frequency 154.25000
Type BM
Mode FM
I'm probably not putting the right numbers in the right places in CHIRP. I've messed with PL, tone squelch, offset of +4.065 and even creating a whole separate channel for TX only, verified Channel A/B and the PTT button I was pressing was on the right channel.
I have a department issued Mag One BPR40 (not mine, sadly) nearby and have never been able to hear it key up from the UV82L, neither repeater or talk-around. The green light on the Mag One does flash/go out simultaneously as the UV82L keys up though.....
I could really use some help, if someone could just help guide me as to what variables to put in each column in CHIRP, we could get this radio transmitting
