Chirp appears to program the KG-UV8D (Chirp reports software version UV8DV1.05), but received signals will not open the squelch. I have to manually go to every channel in the radio and change either R-CTC or R-DCS before there is audio (the monitor button also works). Three of these radios behave the same. I have no other versions of Wouxan img files.
Once I fiddle with the R-CTC or R-DCS settings the radios receive normally, but changing 100 channels in each of 3 radios would be tedious.
Known history: These radios were purchased new, used for local communications, and retired with broken antennas.
Chirp procedure using a recently updated Linux Mint version:
There are no values visible in the Chirp spreadsheet for CTS or DCS.
Download img file from Wouxan Delete old frequencies Add about 100 frequencies (copied from UV-5R file) Upload to same Wouxan
What might I be doing wrong, and what can I do to correct this problem?
Thanks, Joe, W7LUX
