[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R menu locked
Greetings from France.
When I first got my UV-5R, the channel programming with CHIRP was performed by a friend, who locked the menu button to prevent a beginner like me to make any mistake which could have screwed the programming.
Now I would like to unlock the menu, but I cannot figure out how to do it. I did quite a lot of internet research, but I could only find duplicate tutorials on how to lock the pad with the key button. That is not what I am looking for, of course. The menu button is unresponsive, I would like to unlock it.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sounds like you will need to run CHIRP on that radio. It's not difficult to install and use.

I do have CHIRP. My problem is that I cannot figure out which is the option to check / uncheck to unlock the menu. Sorry if my question was not clear enough.

Hi Massimo, What happens if you hold down the menu button while powering on? Just a guess. If that does not work, and you get it figured out, please send the solution to the list in case this happens to someone else.

Just for clarification, unless you have one of the radios that can disable the user from accessing VFO (frequency) mode, such as the F11, UV-82C or UV-82HP, and the the menus were disabled with the radio in MR (channel) node, then there is no way to prevent the radio's user from accessing any of the menus. They are only disabled while the radio is in MR mode. All that needs to be done to access any menu is to switch to VFO mode (where all menus are always accessible no matter if they have been "disabled", or not).
To enable the settings that disable the "RESET Menu" setting and the "All Menus" setting using CHIRP you tick the following settings.
Settings -> Advanced Settings -> RESET Menu Settings -> Advanced Settings -> All Menus

That's what I needed! Thank you so much!

Sounds like a faulty "menu" button. I haven't seen any such preference anywhere that would suggest you can lock (or unlock) the menu button.

Press and hold the # key (lower right) until it says 'unlock'. The little key next to the battery symbol on the screen should also disappear.
