[chirp_users] Offset on a Baofeng uv-82
I am very new to this so please bear with me.....
I was programming a local repeater with the daily build of CHIRP, setting the off set to +. But when I go into the menu system the offset (menu item 25 - SFT-D) is always set to off. Not + as I set it in chirp. I can manually make the change to a + offset. (I do get broadcasts from the repeater so all seems well)
I also set the offset (menu item 26 - OFFSET ) to 0.600 MHZ in CHIRP but it is always 0.00 and will not manually take a change.
Is there a bug in this build? Very perplexing as to what is going on.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks Joe
One other bug(? ) that I forgot to mention is the both the + and - signs are at the top of the LCD display when a repeater is selected in channel mode. Not the expected + or -.
Thanks again.
Not a bug, it's common among Chinese radios. I own three different brands and they all display - + on repeater channels in the channel mode.

Both being displayed is normal.

If you are going to use Chirp to program your radio there isn't much need to go into the radio's menu. In Chirp's memory tab just make sure that you have in the OFFSET column (.600000)
in the DUPLEX column ( + ) and Mode (FM). As long as you have the repeater output in the FREQUENCY column then barring no special
CTCSS tones, it should upload to the radio and work. I'd cut and paste and entry from my Chirp and a working repeater but it won't past into this message however it is set up exactly how I explained. And the UV-82 should have the same memory structure.

Welcome Joe
I was programming a local repeater with the daily build of CHIRP, setting the off set to +. But when I go into the menu system the offset (menu item 25 - SFT-D) is always set to off. Not + as I set it in chirp. I can manually make the change to a + offset. (I do get broadcasts from the repeater so all seems well)
The Baofeng UV-82 does not store or use SFT-D or OFFSET in its memory channel layout. For this reason menu 25 and menu 26 are invalid in MR (frequency) mode of the UV-82. In other words, these menus can not be used to display or change a channels SFT-D or OFFSET setting because there is none in the memory channel to be changed. The radios stores the RX frequency and the TX frequency and therefor does not need to save the shift direction or offset amount.
See the "Reverence for UV-5R Menus" (the UV-82 menus are nearly all the same as the UV-5R) http://kc9hi.dyndns.org/uv5r/programming/UV-5R%20Menus.pdf
I also set the offset (menu item 26 - OFFSET ) to 0.600 MHZ in CHIRP but it is always 0.00 and will not manually take a change.
See above.

No bugs. CHIRP takes your Duples and Offset settings, does the math in the background and sends the RX frequency and TX frequency to the radio. This is how the radio works.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks Joe
Since a channel does not store a + or - shift direction (see above), it displays "+-" in the upper status display whenever the TX frequency is different from the RX frequency. That would be memory channels programmed for repeaters, split frequency, cross-band and TX inhibited.
