I'm the developer of the modified CPS. To clarify a few things: o Baofeng is inconsistent in whether they call it a bank or a zone on the radio. Newer models seem to be going with zone. o The channels being 1-100 in each zone in the modified CPS is because those numbers match up with the keypad entry of channel numbers. So if you're in bank 2, typing [0][1][8] on the keypad will get you to channel 18, the same as in the modified CPS. As you mention, with CHIRP you need to keep track of this manually. o I think you're using an older version of the modified CPS. You can always get the latest version from the Miklor website, and it comes with a detailed manual which has grown to 60+ pages. In addition to explaining the new features in the modified software and providing a list of what versions features were added in, it also includes several sections with tips and tricks for using the radio, a list of known firmware bugs, etc. o The modified CPS also comes with a frequency calculator (to help you calculate offsets, which is something CHIRP does a better job of in its main program), a tool to change the startup picture, and a tool to change the voice programmed into the radio. 7 pre-built voice packs are provided, or you can upload your own voice prompts in either .mp3 or .wav format. You can also selectively disable one or more messages - a number of users have turned off the "low battery" warning so they don't get woken up in the middle of the night. o You can set a channel to be included or excluded from scanning (the "Scan Add" column). You could also copy all of the frequencies you want to scan into another empty bank (the modified CPS supports cut/copy/paste, both internally and to external CSV files). Note that the external CSV format is not the same as used by CHIRP, although there is a 3rd-party CVS2DAT utility to import CHIRP CSV files.
Thank you for the post explaining those things. I'll see if I can update the software. I appreciate it. It definitely makes the organization better. Us simple people using it need that. Thanks again.
@@HappyGh0st90 The CPS is written in Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 and .NET 4.0. As such, it is intimately tied to x86/x64 Windows editions. It won't even build for Windows on ARM because that requires a newer version of the development toolkit that has obsoleted a number of the APIs that the CPS uses. I've had a few people approach me about getting the CPS to work under WINE (on either x86/x64 or some other architecture). I'm open to working with them and the WINE developers, but some aspects (like Windows library functions) are out of my control.
I have a uv 21r. When I tried connecting to the modified software, I made sure to use the uv-17pro tab. When I hit read, it looks like it's going to read, but I get an error message. The com port is good and the the cable is plugged in all the way. Am I missing something?
@@normanloethen5254 Does your radio have memory zones (if it does, it will say so on the radio display)? My modified CPS (and the factory CPS it was derived from) only supports radios with memory zones. For radios without zones, you need the T6UV CPS software, available from the Miklor web site. But it isn't as nice as my cps 8-) If you do have zones on the radio, use the model drop-down to select UV-21.

Finally someone showing me how to use chrip with the uv-17 and you explained it perfectly, thank you
Thank you for the comment I appreciate it
Thanks for this.

Will you make a version for macOS ?
