[chirp_users] Fwd: chirp_users Digest, Vol 149, Issue 15
Interesting. My the programming in CHIRP for my UV-5R stores/saves the offsets, but CHIRP is not "doing the math" or storing/saving the offsets with the GT-5R.
From what I'm seeing, it's on the software side, not the radio side. After downloading the GT-5R's memory after a complete reset, I enter programming info for the radio, save it, close and reopen the file, and the offset field is set to "off".

CHIRP lets the user enter the RX and TX frequencies as an RX frequency, shift direction and offset, but then CHIRP does the math in the background to determine the TX frequency. It is the RX frequency and TX frequency that CHIRP stores in the CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file to be sent to the radio in that format because that is what the radio requires.
More on this. I've just tried to save the TX frequencies by setting a split. When I re-opened the file, all the settings were set back to "off".

It does not. There is no structure setup in a memory to store such information. Only the RX frequency and TX frequency are there (along with the other per-channel settings).

Because the OFFSET menu does not function in MR mode. There is no offset in the memory to display. It is the way these radios are designed to work.
You do see a "+-" indication in the upper status display area, right?
