[chirp_users] Baofeng uvr5a - chirp offset settings won't save
by Allan Cordova 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hello, In uploading the chirp settings to my baofeng uv5ra, it appears that all settings are saving to to the radio correctly - except for the offset settings which just read 0.000. The frequencies are for 70 cm fm receivers in my area, so all the values in the chirp file are 5 MHz. Apologies if this question is better directed to a baofeng support forum, but I suspected some folks on this mailing list were likely to have encountered this question before. Thanks in advance for any feedback, Allan
