Jim I am still having issues with programming my BF-F8+. I am having trouble getting CTCSS to program and stay properly. Settings are not staying as I program them.
I am trying to set the following: Tone Mode = Tone Tone = 141.3 Offset = 6.0000 Duplex = + Any suggestions? Is there a special sequence in Chirp?
Thanks again! ~Bob KF3BY On Sat, Aug 1, 2015 at 12:18 Bob Burkett r.l.burkett@gmail.com wrote:

I have a new BF-F8+ and I am having a problem I can't find an answer
for.
When attempting to program in a repeater with a 5Mhz "+" offset, the
radio
displays "+-" Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
I need to program most of my channels with CTSS transmit onlytone and a
"+"
offset. Any tips?
Thanks, Bob KF3BY
Bob,
You are don't nothing wrong. That is the way the UV-5R and its many variants work.
These radios to not use shift direction (+ or -) or offset when storing channels in MR (channel) mode. What these radios do is store the RX frequency and TX frequency eliminating the need for these settings.
You have to remember that these radios are designed for commercial use where the license shows the authorized frequencies.
So whenever the programmed TX frequency is different from the programmed RX frequency (repeater, odd-split, cross-band and TX inhibited channels) the upper status display will indicate "+-".
You can see that the channel is programmed properly by setting menu 21 (MDF-A) or menu 22 (MDF-B) to FREQ and then select that display. Select the repeater channel that you want to check. You should see the RX frequency in the selected display. Now tap the [*SCAN] key to put the radio into "reverse" mode. The selected display will change to the TX frequency. Tap the [*SCAN] again to exit "reverse" mode.
Menu 25 (SFT-D) and menu 26 (OFFSET) only have a purpose and only function in VFO (frequency) mode. See the "Reference for UV-5R Menus" for details which modes and when each menu functions.
