Am I doing something wrong?Most likely. For example, what many UV-5R owners will do when they use CHRP for the first time is to add alpha tags (names) to each of the programmed memories. After they've added the names in CHIRP and uploaded the changes to the radio, they expect to see the names displayed in the radio. When they don't they mistakenly think that CHIRP somehow didn't work. The real problem is that they never changed the radio's Memory Display Format to "NAME" so that the radio would display them.
Using the radio's keypad: Menu 21 (MDF-A): CH | NAME | FREQ Menu 22 (MDF-B): CH | NAME | FREQ
Or from within CHIRP: Settings -> Basic Settings -> Display Mode (A): Channel | Name | Frequency Settings -> Basic Settings -> Display Mode (B): Channel | Name | Frequency
I show: Display Mode (A) Name Display Mode (B) Name
This is most likely your situation.
So here's what happens:
MR shows V16 (Channel name in but VFO shows 146.460 in my worksheet. Shown on CHIRP it is 145.200 which is what I want.
I save the file with 145.200 V16 on the worksheet, then I do Radio > Upload I still get the right channel name, but the wromng Freq on my radio.
Do I have to change Display Mode (A) Name to Frequency?
Simply put Chanel Name can be changed, but not the Freq.
No matter what I do, I can't change the freq.
