He told me it was a unit locked at the factory to make it part 90 compliant. I have not seen it as we were conferring on our local repeater. I pointed him at the miklor site and suggested holding the locking key for longer than 2 seconds. Thanks guys

A local ham has a UV5R which cannot be field programmed. What procedure is
needed to do this? I can program using chirp but this wont allow on-the-go
changes.

Have him take a look at this site: http://www.miklor.com/

Specifically, the items in the "Manual Keypad Programming" section.

Exactly how is it that this UV-5R cannot be field programmed? Would you
download a CHIRP image from this radio and attach it to a post to this list
so I can take a look at it?

The only way that I know someone can prevent field programming of a UV-5R
is to disable the VFOs by using CHIRP. The way this is accomplished is by
setting the lower band limits higher than the upper band limits. No
frequencies can then be keyed into the VFO and therefor no frequencies can
be saved to a channel with menu 27. If this is what has happened, then just
set the band limits back to the range of frequencies that you want to be
field programmed.

...mmm... can't it be the Keypad lock enabled?

Frank, can you send an image (.img file) taken from the locked radio for
us to analyse it?
