[chirp_users] problem with baofeng uv-5r
not exactly a chirp issue:
i have few uv-5r's
one of them can only receive while transmitting the others receive only the bip but not the voice~ what might be the reason besides a defective mic
(while checking i found out i cannot manualy change menu 5 from wide to narrow . it remais as programmed - this IS a chirp issue(

When a external device (speaker/mic, programming cable, etc.) is plugged into the socket of the radio, 2 contacts are lifted to disconnect the internal microphone and the internal speaker. It is common in these radios for the contact to not fully return to the initial position when the 2-pin plug is removed. When this happens, the internal mic and/or speaker remains disconnected.

This is not a CHIRP issue. This is how the radio works. You cannot permanently change any parameter of a programmed memory. You can only temporarily change TX power output level by tapping the [#] or swap the TX and RX frequencies by tapping the [*] to put the radio into "reverse" mode.
You can only manually update the TX frequency and either the TX DCS code or TX CTCSS tone by entering the values in the top (A) VFO and then write the new values to the appropriate memory using menu 28 (MEM-CH). To change any other parameter, including menu 5 (W/N), you must erase the memory and program the memory back from scratch using the top (A) VFO or use programming software such as CHIRP.

I have one that this happened to, and I can only use the external speaker-mic now. Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: Amnon Zohar To: Discussion of CHIRP Sent: Monday, November 12, 2018 10:26 AM Subject: Re: [chirp_users] problem with baofeng uv-5r

Anybody has an idea how to release? Maybe contact spray? Are the contactor accesible by opening the unit?

The contacts are inside the socket. You can change the socket. You can try the things mentioned in miklor FAQ 8.1 at the page below.
You could put solder on the socket leads as shown in the attached photo that was provided by Baofeng to someone else that had this issue (the picture was from 2014 or earlier so the board may be different on newer radios. try it at your own risk).

there is a yotube video for the solution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf1VVN_0m3s

this solution makes both mics work in paralel when an external mic is used
