Don I very much suspect that your problem is the extreme expansion of the programming limits. Most of these radios will tolerate a small excursion beyond the specified limits at reduced compliance to their specifications that are not legal (if the radio is legal to transmit in your country). If you can reset yours, check the legalities first and do NOT abuse your license to transmit. Thank you Fred VA6FRM Canada

This may be the same for your radio. I'll include the source after. To perform a FULL Reset 1.Turn on the radio and press the MENU button. 2.Press the UP and DOWN arrow key to select RESET (Menu Item 40). 3.Press MENU to choose RESET. 4.Press the DOWN arrow key to choose ALL. 5.Press MENU. The radio will display SOURCE? 6.Press MENU to confirm. The radio will display WAIT... for a few seconds, then beep twice to confirm reset is complete. 7.The radio will revert to Chinese language mode. Reset is complete.
