Trying to program Uv50X2 and since this last update, it will not offer the option to set any of the menu items anymore such as scanning options etc. It will take the programming of channels and names but does not offer any menu options. Then when I revert to an old img file, it does not recognized the menu items that are in place from before so the channels I program via work mode do not program. I've tried doing a reset of both "ALL" and "VFO" only via the onboard menu but it still is not doing a hard factory reset. Help!!!!

Hi Darby,
Your radio has flipped a bit in memory that has caused 1or more settings to be out-of-range.
Email a CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) to me or attach it here and I will correct it and send it back to you.

Jim,
Thanks for the reply. I installed the factory image and then programmed with the "uploaded" file attached. I can modify the menu items now, but it does not take properly. Specifically, in Work Mode settings, I am programming 2m calling and 70c calling for A and B.
As you can see in the "downloaded" file attached, it takes programming for work mode settings of C and D without issue, but keeps changing A and B to channel 0/N5TEN on the display, even though that is not what I am uploading AND it changes them both in the work mode setting to channels that I do not even have programmed so that doesn't even match the displayed channels. I've never had issues with this or any of the other BTech stuff, or with CHIRP. Thank you!!!

Darby,
I don't think I understand the problem with the 2 files. Are you saying you uploaded the UPLOADED.img file and then with no changes to the radio downloaded from it and got DOWNLOADED.img?
Jim KC9HI
Exactly

Darby,
The problem with MR A channel: and MR B channel: in Workmode is that they are both set to channels that are not programmed. They are set to 191 and 144 respectively but they need to be in the range of 0 to 98 inclusive to select a valid memory channel.
Someone or something cut memory row 4 and moved it "up" to memory row 0 moving the memory rows 0 through 3 each "down" a row to rows 1 through 4. Are you sure that is not something you may have did by accident?
Would you perform the upload followed by and immediate download again to see if files are different a second time?
Jim KC9HI
I will try again. I’ve done it 10 times now with the same result. I’ll try the factory file again and then enter each channel manually instead of importing this time as well. Thanks.

Don't try too many things at once. I just want a file uploaded and then without any changes at the radio downloaded back to CHIRP so the "before" and "after" can be compared.
Jim
Okay Jim,
I did a factory upload from the stock image.
Then I uploaded the "Uploaded" image attached. I did not touch the radio at all, then within less than a minute, downloaded the attached "Downloaded" image. As you can see, the radio once again changed the programming with no input from me. I'm at a loss. Should I try the same thing with the stock image and see if it changes that as well?

Darby,
There is no point to uploading the "stock" image if you follow it up by another image. The last image uploaded "wins".
Anyway it seems that the radio have some bits stuck in its memory. After you uploaded your UPLOADED.img file setting MR A channel: to 0 (0x0E9F = 0x00) and MR B channel: to 1 (0x0EA0 = 0x01) they come back to CHIRP as being set to 191 (0xBF) and 144 (0x90).
What I would like you to try now would but to upload you UPLOADED.img file and then manually set MR A channel: and MR B channel: to some other valid channels numbers and then download from the radio and send that to me to see what they come back as. Set them both to channel 15.
Jim KC9HI
Sorry set them both to ch 15, or to two other valid channels? Also thank you for your Elmers patience.

Jim,
Here are the two images. Also I know beyond the scope of CHIRP probably at this point so thank you again. I see it still reverts to those two ghost channels. Also interesting is that when the radio reboots after upload and download, the A and B channels are both then on channel 0 (programmed as 2m Calling) every single time. I guess because the channels it thinks it is are not even programmed at all....
I did as you instructed and changed them manually both to 15. When I try to do that via the number pad by typing 015 (on both channels it does this) it beeps and goes to 014 instead so I had to manually scroll up to 15 to change it. Even still...as you can see the radio is h changing them to channels 191 and 144 which are not programmed at all.....I did not change "uploaded" image from what I have sent already. This is what downloads from the radio....

What you might try is copying channel 0 to channel 191 and channel 1 into channel 144 to see what happens after the cloning process completes.

Unfortunately these radios don't select 1 digit and 2 digit channel numbers from the keypad the same way that a typical Baofeng handheld radio does by keying in the full 3 digit channel number (pressing [0][0][7] to select channel 7 or [0][1][5] to select channel 15 as in your example). What I have found the most reliable is to keep tapping the first digit of the channel number you want until you see that digit currently selected as the single digit channel number and then follow it with any remaining digits.
To select channel 15 Tap [1] # if the small channel number displayed shows " 11" or "111" then repeat this step Tap [5]
But as you have noticed, more often than not, the radio will beep and the channel will change to 14. This is clearly a bug in the radio.
None of the bits flipped after you manually selected channel 15 on both display lines. Your radio definitely has the bytes for the MR A channel: and MR B channel: display lines stuck on channels 191 and 144 respectively. The radio appears only to read these bytes when it boots because it sounds like the radio works normally otherwise, right.
This is nothing that CHIRP can overcome. My only recommendation would be use channels 191 and 144 as your preselected "call" channels for MR A channel: and MR B channel:.

Thank you so much for trying!!!
