In the advanced settings section for a Baofeng UV5RA in Chirp there is a "RESET menu" enable check box and "ALL menus" enable check box. What do these do?
Thanks,

Hi Jeff,
When "RESET Menu" is not ticked, menu 40 (RESET) is not available to the user when the radio is in MR/Channel Mode.
When "All Menus" is not ticked, none of the radio's menus are available to the user when the radio is in MR/Channel Mode.
Unfortunately, once the user taps the [VFO/MR] key and puts the radio into VFO/Frequency Mode, all menus are available to the user no matter what the settings for "RESET Menu" and "All Menus" happen to be.
There is no way, in the typical UV-5R family of radios (see link below), to keep the user from accessing VFO/Frequency mode. This pretty much diminishes the usefulness of these settings.
Import Communications' most recent F-11 (private label UV-5R), on the other hand, has a custom firmware that allows the [VFO/MR] key to be disabled. Disabling the [VFO/MR] key with the radio in MR/Channel Mode keeps the user in that mode and allows the "RESET Menu" and "All Menus" settings function as intended.
