• 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.

I am new to GMRS and I was trying to use chirp to program my Baofeng UV-9g but I am unable to remove, add or change the offset using chirp. all of these are in gray. It tells me It's unable to do anything with these channels. That is all the channels. I can change them on the radio but not on Chirp.

Any information would be great

Thank you

Make sure you're using the latest version of Chirp - now being called Chirp Next on the Danplanet.com download page.

I just bought two Baofeng UV-5G's off Amazon. First thing I ran into with Chirp was that Chirp recognized them as Radioddity UV-5G. Once I switched to the Radioddity brand it downloaded the frequencies just fine and I've been able to program tones, etc.
