i'll try again.
in chip you set the base frequency, offset & shift direction. how that gets into the radio i supose depends on the radio, but i have it set in chip and it's not making it into the radio.
It does. I've just programmed about 80 channels using my image from you UV-5R.
as for the radio itself, i can tell you now - because i have done it last week. unlike older baofeng stuff with direct-entry bugs and stupid work arounds from places like Miklor, you can enter the frequency, offset and shift-direction from the keypad - and it works - and you can save it!!
Only the VFO uses SFT-D and OFFSET. When you store it to a channel, it is converted to an RX frequency and a TX frequency. There is absolutely no shift direction or offset stored in a memory channel.
CHIRP does the same. It lets you enter the RX frequency, a shift direction and an offset. Then it takes that information and converts it to an RX frequency and a TX frequency and stores it. It does this because that is what the radio uses/requires.
so i suppose later, i will reset the radio, put a channel in by keypad - then read it with chip. if it's right, i will reset the radio again and upload the downloaded data to see if it's still o.k..
I'll bet if you check again it is correct. Just press the PTT button and you can see the frequency change.
