The BF-888S radios only have something like 16 channels, so that  technique may not be as useful.

Since I never see myself using 128 or however many memories these radio have, if I want different power or tone settings,

I just put the same frequency in multiple memories, with different settings.

ch 6 - 146.52 high power ch 7 - 146.52 low power ch 8 - 146.52 high power - tone on.

Keep the same sequence for each frequency.

Lot easier to change channels than remembering menu buttons.

Same with scanning. If there is a channel that?s important, put it in the list every six or eight slots.

The priority function on my UV2501 makes a ?click? in the speaker, every time it is checking the channel.

Thanks Gents. Doubling up on the channels as described is the work around I have already adopted. The point is that there is a feature described both in the Chinglish manual and supported through CHIRP that just isn't working for the 12 handsets I have on the floor in front of me. For me a work around is adequate - others might have a different operating scenario where it is not possible. The engineer in me always wants to see things work as they should !
