[chirp_users] Programming Retevis R21
Need some help. Our church uses these for inter church communication. I have setup the first 20 or 30 ht's no problem. I made backup of the program image. We are in need of adding more RT21 to the flock. My problem is after programming the new ht's everything works etc the transmit audio is extremely low to not at all. I also noticed the image file loads back differently by dropping out data. I have changed to the latest Chirp level. And have two programming cables. Nothing changes. I use a working ht and when I download the image file it also is not the same as the orginal. I have also used 4 different laptops and a table computer. Most are running ein 10. I have another laptop running vista sw and the results are the same.
Any ideas??
I would guess that the firmware is different in the newer radios. You can't just dump one image into multiple radios. Each radio needs to be downloaded seperately and the image IMPORTED into that radio's config.

Confirm the audio levels are set to Wide Band.

If the radios are on commercial or FRS frequencies then deviation should probably be narrow.
