Turn off XMIT on UV-5G Plus for certain forbidden-near-Canada channels

[WRVG829]

Hi, I've got some UV-5G Plus radios to program.  I already know how to use CHIRP and have successfully programmed a bunch of good old UV-5R radios.

My issue is that my family is near the Canadian border zone.  We're not allowed to transmit on 462.6500, 467.6500, 462.7000 and 467.7000.  (I understand that as a practical matter with a 5W walkie talkie the feds aren't going to chase me down, but I have folks in my family concerned about the law.)

For my UV-5R radios, it's trivial to disable transmitting on a programmed channel.  But for the UV-5G Plus, I can't seem to do it in CHIRP, or the program downloaded from Baofeng.  The pre-set channels that come on the radio for those frequencies do not allow me to remove the transmit frequency in CHIRP.

Now for the NOAA weather channels I added, disabling transmission was easy.  It works just like it does for the UV-5R.

Anyone have any tips?  Thanks!

Setting the duplex to OFF will disable transmission. The easiest way to do this is within CHIRP. You actually have four choices for duplex: blank (for simplex use), + , - , and off. Selecting off disables TX for that memory channel.

Here is a screen shot of CHIRP so you can see what I am talking about.

Did you try setting duplex to "off"

That worked!  Thank you to both of you who had the answer!

This is why I refuse to be locked down by a gmrs radio.
