Jim, this is absolutely a good suggestion. My 3 UV5R's acted very strangely with those 2 set to default, which is on. I didn't realize that they got turned back on after a total reset. The radios each behaved badly and in different ways. Not receiving well was the main one.

Yep. Unfortunately the factory delivered settings and the RESET settings are not the same (for example a factory new UV-5R speaks English but is set to Chinese after a reset). That's why I always recommend that the first thing done after purchasing a new CHIRP supported radio is to download an image of the radio's "factory" state and save it, unedited, to a CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) to be kept in a safe place as a backup.
