WRTC928 Posted February 19 Report Posted February 19 I just received mine yesterday. The first thing I did was download the factory configuration file. Then, I tested power output at all three levels on different parts of both bands and recorded the results. I then uploaded a CHIRP file using the BF-F8HP profile and retested the power. It remained the same after programming as before, so whatever the problem is, apparently I didn't get one that has it. I was a little disappointed that power maxed out at 6-7 watts, but it's not all that big a deal, I guess. I'll probably never notice the difference, but if I buy a 10 watt radio, I'd like for it to actually output 10 watts. ElkDodger and SteveShannon 2 Quote
ElkDodger Posted Saturday at 09:17 PM Report Posted Saturday at 09:17 PM Today, after much research, I programmed my new AR-152 radio using Chirp. I used the UV5-XP profile because it was recommended in another forum, is similar to what the manufacturer recommends, and features three power-level settings. After downloading and saving the factory settings, I uploaded my list of frequencies to the AR-152 using the UV5XP profile. I did not mess with frequency range or any advanced settings. So far I have only modified a few basic settings like muting the beep and voice. As measured by the Farsometer, the transmit power levels remained the same before and after programming with Chirp. I am still testing, but so far the radio appears to function as designed. Pre-Chirp: Freq. 155.500 H: 8.2 watts, M: 6.3 watts, L: 2.08 watts Freq. 438.500 H: 9.2 watts, M: 5.8 watts, L: 2.4 watts After Chirp: Freq. 155.500 H: 8.2 watts, M: 6.3 watts, L: 2.15 watts Freq. 438.500 H: 9.3 watts, M: 5.9 watts, L: 2.5 watts Quote
