My radio, firmware 297, can be set up to 24 via Chirp.

I believe the radio only supports values up to 10.

Greetings all,
I am a new Ham with a 40 year background in all things electronic. I just
picked up new 3 BF-F8+ radios and ended up having to send one back
(couldn't program via cable). The replacement came in with different
firmware -GRRR!- and an odd/invalid/strange entry in the ABR menu. See
attached pic -I hope it is permitted. I can change value to off through 10
using keypad. From that point the odd character goes away 'till the next
time I program with Chip to any value above 10. Above 10 the odd character
comes back. Chirp allows 0 to 24 as usual and programs without protest for
any value 0 - 24 but cant get actual time to go past 10. Any time less than
10 is handled correctly as expected. I reset radio, changed language back
to English and then tried to set backlight beyond 10 seconds with no
success. Used CHIRP daily-20150702 and an earlier build with same results.
Also, the radio type selected was the UV-5R.
If the radio had a 'normal' display this would be less an issue but with
the inverse display it pushes the usability close to the edge in a negative
way!
Has anyone seen this behavior? Have I missed a step? Should I consider
this a defect and try AGAIN for an exchange?
