Subject: [chirp_users] Change language from Chinese to English-Baofeng UV-5R
When entering my one and only repeater frequency, offset, TX, RX, etc., the language changed from English to Chinese. How do I change it back to English? Can't seem to find the commands in the booklet. Radio receives and transmits fine.

> I would suggest just tossing the idea of using whatever driver you got on the supplied CD. I ordered a cable and disc set off of Amazon, threw the disc out, downloaded everything off of CHIRP, plugged in my cable, and it went flawless. Not one hitch. This was a Baofeng UV-82. CHIRP rocks!
