Why would you want to have vhf on one side and uhf on the other, instead of both sides the same? What if you want to listen to two vhf or two uhf frequencies? The only reason I can think of is if you would run out of channel storage space for all the frequencies you want to listen to otherwise. Just my $0.03 (inflation) worth.

Glenn, I will help you out on the microphone keys. As with the keys on the radio some of the mike keys are programmable.

In the picture of the mike, the PTT button on the left is numbered 1 and the description of the other keys goes in a clockwise numbering system. The next key, 2, it the top left, key 3 top right. The number 4 is assigned to the MIC which is located top right face of the unit between the TYT identification label and the keys in the keypad. 5 is the top key on the right side, 6 is the bottom key on the right side. 7 points to the number and letter keys, 8 points to the 4 programmable keys at the bottom of the keypad. 1. PTT Press the key to transmit. 2. DWN Decrease channel number or setting value. 3. UP Increase channel number or setting value. 4. MIC Speak here during transmission. 5. LOCK Locks out the microphone buttons except keys 0 - 9 and PTT. 6. LAMP Illuminates the microphone keypad. 7. Number Key Input channel number or DTMF dial out etc. Note: it shows the normal phone keypad layout 1,2,3 at the top row and *,0,# on the bottom row. Then it shows 4 keys beside that set in a single column starting with A at the top and D at the bottom. There is no explanation of those 4 keys in the chart. They might function the same as the letter keys on the radio face for the Hyper Memory.

8. Programmable Keys User-defined functions Keys, Default: Note: the layout of these keys is different than the rest. The left most key is P1, then there appears to be a raised piece at its bottom right corner and the P2 key is diagonally down and to the right with its top left corner touching the raised piece. The P3 key is diagonally above and to the right with its bottom left corner almost touching the top right of the P2 key. I appears to be in a section with the P4 key which is slightly angle upward to the right, and the P4 key is to the right of it separated by a space. The top right corner of it is below the D letter key. P1: switch the "Main" band between the left and right display. P2: switch the frequency control for the Main band between VFO and Memory mode. P3: press repeatedly to select the CTCSS or DCS mode on the "Main" band. P4: press repeatedly to select the TX power output level on the "Main" band.

The manual programming function for these keys is as follows. Hopefully they can also be programmed in Chirp. 1. Press the [SET] key to enter the Menu mode. Remember the [SET] key is the center one on the bottom of the radio face. 2. Rotate the "Main" band DIAL to select the Menu # 19 - # 22 to be configured (# 19 PG P1, # 20 PG P2, #21 PG P3, # 22 PG P4). Hopefully this can be done in Chirp as well... 3. Press the "Main" band DIAL knob, then rotate the "Main" band DIAL to select the function you wish to assign to the button you selected in the previous step. Note: there is a chart that lists the 12 functions you can chose from. I'm hoping it is like the process for programming the radio keys in that the first one in the chart is what will be displayed when you press the knob, then you make one click clockwise with the knob to access each of the successive functions. Again i hope you can do this in Chirp so you can "see" the choices. 4. Press the [SET] key to save the new setting and select another programmable button to modify, and repeat the above steps. 5. Press the [SET] key to save the setting(s) and exit to the normal operation.

Here is the list of functions you can chose from: SCAN Activate the Scanner on the "Main" band. SQL.OFF Opens the Squelch on the "Main" band to allow un-muted reception. TCALL Activates 1750 Hz Tone Burst (1000/1450/1750/2100 Hz tone can be selected in the programming software). RPTR Selects Repeater Shift direction of the "Main" band. PRI Activates the Priority feature on the "Main" band. LOW Selects the transmit power output level on the "Main" band. TONE Activates the CTCSS or DCS operation on the "Main" band. MHZ Allows tuning in 1 MHz step on the "Main" band. REV Reverses the TX and RX frequencies during split-frequency operation. HOME Switches operation to the "Home" channel on the "Main" band. BAND Switch the "Main" band of operation between the "left" band and "right" band. VFO/MR Switches the frequency control between the VFO and Memory modes on the "Main" band.

Be blessed! May 2019 be our year of change & growth!
