My older UV-82 will go to the chanel that had the last RX. My BF-F8+ and my UV-82HP stay on the channel that I told it to be on. Of course the UV-82's have the dual ptt. I actually like the fact that it keeps the channel I selected, that way if I'm talking on one frequency and the other frequency has a station id, I can keep talking on the original frequency without fear of my radio transmitting on the wrong frequency. I see the benefit of the other as well. Of course I am new to the hobby and don't know any better yet. It just works fine for me at this time.

Galen,

What you have stated above is completely clear.

Unfortunately this is something that Baofeng has accidentally or
intentionally changed. It began with the release of N5R firmware for
the UV-5R series of radios and variants about a year ago. It has just
recently started rolling out in the UV-82 radios with the N82
firmware.

This is the way the hardware works. CHIRP can do nothing about it.

The best you can do is get person 2 to say "this is person 2 calling
on 446" so that person 1 will know which frequency to reply on.
