I took your frequencies,entered 156.2025 into the first cell of Chirp. left everything else to the left of Duplex unchanged. I can enter 159.000 as the split offset and upload to the radio. Configured this way the radio receives on 156.2025 and transmits on 159.000. Now, I can delete the template and read anew from the radio. What is odd is the split offset turns into a + offset of 2.797500. That still gives you 159.000 TX. I just thought it odd the radio would return those settings. Also you question about the 2Tone decode. Unfortunately at least for the UV-5R I don't see a DTMF decode mode for squelch. And the squelch value for your radio is probably the same as the UV-5R which is 0 - 9. I find a level of 7 adequate.

Thanks Jim, that did the trick. I did figure out what "tuning step" meant around 3am, but didn't want to write back and admit that I was still up and obsessing over it :) I'm glad I went to bed.
I have all my channels configured now, except for the "page" channel on the Icom that I wish to emulate in the Baofeng. In the Icom, the channel is muted until it receives a 2-tone page signal. I can see how it is set up in the Icom CS-F14 program, but I'm not finding any functionality like that in CHIRP. When I click on "Settings" in CHIRP, I only get a blank field. Can I do this in CHIRP? I see nothing in the wiki about functions like this.
And, perhaps similarly, in CS-F14 under Common>Set Mode there is a squelch value variable that has been set to 125. Is that something I need to set in the UV-B5?
Thanks much! Doug

I've tried, and
the other errors I've seen, 'cause I'm starting to wonder

Doug,
You are going about this in exactly the right way. Just use the older CHIRP daily that I pointed out earlier to get the job done. I have submitted a patch that will restore programming the UV-B5/B6 with CHIRP to a 2.5 KHz resolution and still fix the issue the previous patch was intended to address.
