You CAN TEMPORARILY change the power level while in channel mode, but only for the CURRENT session. On my UV-82 while in channel mode, lock off, if I press the "#-Lock" key the radio cycles between H-L.  On my UV-82HP while in channel mode, lock off, if I press the "#-Lock" key the radio cycles between H-M-L. Both radios were programmed in CHIRP. As previously stated, this is only a transient power level change. If the channel is changed or the radio powered off/on the power level reverts back to the power level programmed for that channel in CHIRP. The power level does NOT revert back to the programmed setting when transmit is switched  between bands and back again.

Hi.

I do not own a UV-82 Hp, but I do have a UV- 82 and I believe they use the same chip set.  If I understand your question correctly, I think you're saying you'd like to be able to toggle between High and Low power while on the same memory channel.  This won't happen.  I'm pretty sure the radio will automatically revert to whatever power level that was set when that channel was programmed.  If you want to have multiple power selections on the same channel whilst in Memory mode, I think your only option is to separately program the same channels  / frequencies in with the various power settings you want.  To change power you will have to go to the memory location that has the desired power level setting pre-programmed.

Changing the power setting "on the fly" only works in VFO mode.  This is pretty typical for Baofeng / Pofung radios.

I've looked high and low trying to figure this out:

Using Chirp I have the tx power set on my radio for each channel.  Now my radio won't let me change the tx power via the menu on the radio.  It changes initially but reverts back immediately.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?  I'd like to be able to change power whenever I want to.

Thanks
