I think the problem might be that you have turned off access to Memory Mode and/or the menu somehow with CHIRP.
I don’t have the VX-2R but try this as it seems to work with a number of different radios:
1 – Export your channel settings to a spreadsheet
2 – factory reset the radio
3 – Download a new image from the radio (preferably while in channel mode)
4 – Save the image for possible later use
5 – Import the channel settings from the spreadsheet (or load the spreadsheet and copy them to the new image)
6 – Save the new image
7 – Upload the image to the radio
Please see the CHIRP documents for any steps you are not sure how to do.
Hope that solves it! 73

I recently started using CHIRP to program my VX-2R. All went fine, have uploaded to the radio, but now the radio is stuck in Memory mode ( lock is
off) and also can't get into SET mode. I have checked all the settings but can't figure out why it is doing this. I did a total reset and the VFO mode came back, so I uploaded the frequencies again with CHIRP and now can't get back into VFO mode.
Any help would be much appreciated.
