Thanks for that. Although I see that Chirp is smart enough to convert an odd split to an offset when
importing
, what seems to happen is the simplex channels end up as receive only because there is nothing in the offset channel. When I first saw that with some handhelds I had done, I assumed it was just transmitting on the same frequency, then I discovered that there was nothing for a transmit frequency when it is configured that way. Is there a way to import the simplex channels so that they will transmit?

Yes, exactly. If you look at the 5888 in the Model Support page,
you'll see it doesn't support Odd Split.

I believe this is a limitation of the Chirp implementation, not the
radio itself. Chirp developers haven't taken the time to support every
feature on every radio. This is just one detail that was skipped,
because offset is equally functional.

Chirp is smart enough to convert an odd split to an offset when
importing, as you have found.
