Hello Terry, I've said many times that I'm confident that the problem is with the radio.

What do you get if you power the radio on while holding the "3" button down? Likewise for "5" and "6"?

3 - ver T60V02

5 - nothing

6 - 190314M

# - cycles between L, nothing, L nothing

Those should reveal what the radio firmware actually is. A lot of these "HP" UV-82's are running hacked UV-5R firmware which lets the user select a bogus "high" pow- er setting. The "#" key on a real UV-82HP should cycle between H, M, and L on the LCD when you're in channel mode, not just H and L (or nothing at all) on the fakes.

Does this sound like a fake?
