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.

May be related to this: "Compared with other classic series from BAOFENG, this is a 100% legal version with the compliant transmit range and spurious emission, complies with FCC Equipment Rule Part15B and Part90."

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.

73,
Steve, N0XVZ
