Programming ANI on BTECH GMRS-50x1

[sturnermygmrs1]

The manual says that you can configure the ANI via computer software (i.e. Chirp), but I'm not able to find the ANI setting anywhere.  I'm also trying to send PTT tones automatically (5Tone, 2Tone, or DTMF) but I can't seem to get that to work either.  Anyone have success at doing either?

I had the same problem ..I purchased software from rt systems for $28 and it allowed me to change the ani Id code on the btech gmrs 50x1 mobile radio

The design of CHIRP only gives you access to a subset of the features in many radios. If you want to use all of the functionality of your radio I advise you use the manufacturers software.

for better or worse, CHIRP is what Btech directs you to for programming software.  I'll take a look around my settings in CHIRP and see if i see those settings, though.

Edit: haven't messed with it, but the DTMF settings are there in the Settings tab (on the left side) of CHIRP.  there's also one for ANI length, and a bunch for DTMF codes.  It also looks like it will let you dig deeper in the  Browser tab, but a lot of the stuff is either in Hex or code...haven't poked at that too much.
