Greetings,

The error of 110 Hz doesn't seem very significant but the 1,550 Hz error could cause some operational problems. Do the two different error levels relate to different shift directions?

I recently programmed some channels into a UV-5R+ manually and read the memory bank back with Chirp. There was no error in the offsets as read by Chirp. However I cannot use menu 26 to check the offsets in /Channel Mode/ as it always reports zero. I confirm the proper offset by using the reverse function which displays the shift but of course with 1 KHz limited resolution.

My firmware version is BFB927. I wonder what firmware version you have? (Easy to determine by holding the #3 key pressed during power up.)

I also wonder if there is a list of known problems with different firmware versions posted somewhere?

Hi,I've just set up CHIRP and downloaded the memory channel list from my Baofeng UV-5RV2+. I notice that the offsets on my saved channels are not exactly what I expected to see.

For the channels where I have set the offset to 000.600 in the radio, it's showing 0.601550 or 0.599890 in CHIRP. For the channels where I have set the offset to 005.000 in the radio, it's showing 5.001550 or 4.999890 in CHIRP. My question is, do I need to make any changes to these offset entries before writing the image back to the radio?? Should I fix the entries to show the exact frequencies that I entered in the radio, or are the shifted frequencies correct? As a side note, I see that the default offset for channels that I have not set up are exactly 0.600000. I'm afraid to write an image back to the radio that could cause a problem so I thought it would be best to check first.

Thanks.Ed
