Yep but getting them to change is like pulling hens teeth, or get the metric thing done. On the second one, my car is metric, my radios are metric, my appliances are metric, but go to the hardware store and buy metric hardware... They have it but it is just 3x more than SAE...
So getting rid of the term codeplug falls in that area...

The rather unhelpful term 'codeplug' originates from an EPROM based hardware key which AMTRAK train drivers inserted into a Motorola radio in the cab. This term pre-dates digital radios by decades. It is the source of much confusion, and I much prefer the term 'configuration file' which is much more descriptive and far less obfuscating.

The Baofeng UV-82 doesn't use "codeplugs" as it is an analog radio, also CHIRP isn't for digital radios, just analog.
Michal are you using the incorrect terminology, or are you talking about a different model which IS digital?

I have a Baofeng UV-82 that was programmed, I downloaded the codeplug, added a frequency then uploaded the new codeplug to the radio. When I went to turn the radio back on, there was only a faint display visible on the top line. It looks like a series of black rectangles. Doesn't go beyond that, no channel, no frequency, none of the keys respond. I tried taking the battery out and turning it back on... no help. Tried downloading front the radio... nothing. Is the radio bricked or is there something else that I can try ? tnx Mike VE7SML
