I've looked high and low trying to figure this out:
Using Chirp I have the tx power set on my radio for each channel. Now my radio won't let me change the tx power via the menu on the radio. It changes initially but reverts back immediately.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'd like to be able to change power whenever I want to.
Thanks
Hi Jesse,
You aren't doing anything wrong. Even though the menus will let you go through the motions, you cannot change any part of a memory channel's setting in MR (channel) mode. That is how these radios work.
The only per-channel settings that can be updated at all are the TX frequency, menu 12 (T-DCS) and menu 13 (T-CTCS) and that must be done in VFO (frequency) mode. To change any one of the other 7 per-channel setting at the radio would require you to erase the channel and program it back from scratch with the new value.
See the "Reference for UV-82 Radios" to find out what menu work in what modes. http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_MenuDef.php
You can temporarily toggle the power level by tapping the [#] key. When you leave the channel in any way, the power level will revert back to its programmed value.
