Hello… Our team has about 30 radios we use and continually replace them and upload the same programming to all of them…
I just got a load of new UV’s that when I upload the same programming as all the radios in the past, it receives loud and clear but it won’t transmit.
It just beeps…
I am not as savvy as many on this forum and I ask for your help, Barney Rubble Style…
Thank you…
Are you using the latest CPR, if the trouble is new radios sounds like their firmware is different. Will the old software programme any of them if you read the radio, change one thing and try to put it back? That usually confirms the CPR version you have is still current.
Thank you for your time… I am not very versed in this world of radios… Is CPR, short for CHIRP? If so… I have uploaded the software from our everyday radios, programed it as recently as a week ago, and tried to download it to the new ones… It programs it to all the right frequencies and receives transmissions fine… It just does not transmit… I did go in and try to remove the GRMS and just leave the FRS… and it still didn’t transmit… I do sincerely appreciate your help… I will try to see if there is a new CHIRP if that what CPR stands for…
Computer Programming Software. Chirp is a popular one that programmes most common radios including the UV-5R.
So I wonder if you’ve got a transmit inhibit programmed. Can I just confirm that if you take a working radio, and read FROM it to Chirp, everything looks fine - but if you then WRITE that file to the new radio, then the data appears to be there, but the PTT button doesn’t work, and this happens on all the new radios.
Do you have any of the new radios that you have not programmed? If so, do these transmit? This will show if it’s the codeplug you are loading into it causing the issue. I can’t check as Chirp no longer works on my MacBook and I’m not near a PC.
