I would suspect that the offset, puts it outside its allowed frequency operating range. There is a setting where you specify the transmitting limits but have not done it in years, so don’t remember which setting. I suggest you check that setting for the operating range and adjust it as required.
I have one of the old Part 90 units and it works just fine in all ham and commercial frequencies but am not sure if I had to open the transmitting band first. I probably did but just don’t remember.

Hello,
First, I'm not sure if I've missed something in my research, so I apologize if I'm asking an obvious question.
I recently purchased a Baofeng GT-5R and tried to program it with Chirp. What I've noticed is that whether I import repeater settings or input them manually, Chirp is not saving the offsets. Instead, it's listing all of them as "off". I have used Chirp to program a UV-5R without any problems. I can enter repeater information manually, but if I download the data from the radio, the offsets also reset to "off".
Thanks for your suggestions.
