[chirp_users] Issue with programming Baofeng UV-82HP
Hi All, I am using CHIRP to program in all of my repeaters into the UV-82HP. I ran into an issue: When loading in the CTCSS Codes to "unlock" the repeater, the software will load the CTCSS code on BOTH the Receive CTCSS (R-CTCS, Menu 11) and Transmit CTCSS (T-CTCS, Menu 13), instead of ONLY the T-CTCS, so I am unable to receive any signal coming back from the repeaters. Afterwards, when I try to change the R-CTCS to 0.000 Hz, it will automatically switch back to the programmed R-CTCS code when I exit the Menu. I have not seen in CHIRP a way to program EITHER the R-CTCS or the T-CTCS, there's only one called:TSQL, which seemingly changes both the R-CTCS & the T-CTCS
Is there a way where I can change my R-CTCS codes back to 0.000 Hz and save the setting permanently in my radio?
Thanks & 73! Ernst WA3FAW
Instead of TSQL, just use Tone.

Same here. CHIRP has supported the Baofeng UV-82HP since it initial release.
I ran into an issue: When loading in the CTCSS Codes to "unlock" the repeater, the software will load the CTCSS code on BOTH the Receive CTCSS (R-CTCS, Menu 11) and Transmit CTCSS (T-CTCS, Menu 13), instead of ONLY the T-CTCS, so I am unable to receive any signal coming back from the repeaters.
I would suspect that is because you are setting Tone Mode to TSQL instead of Tone.
The following are the Tone Mode options available for the Baofeng UV-82HP (and most other UV-5R and UV-82 style radios) taken from the "Understanding CHIRP's columns" document.
(None): No tone or code is transmitted, receive squelch is open or carrier-triggered.
Tone: A single CTCSS tone is transmitted, receive squelch is open or carrier-triggered. The tone used is that which is set in the Tone column.
TSQL: A single CTCSS tone is transmitted, receive squelch is tone-coded to the same tone. The tone used is that which is set in the ToneSql column.
DTCS: A single DTCS/DCS code is transmitted, receive squelch is digitally tone-coded to the same code. The code used is that which is set in the DTCS Code column.
Cross: A complex arrangement of squelch technologies is in use. See the definition of the Cross Mode column for details.
Afterwards, when I try to change the R-CTCS to 0.000 Hz, it will automatically switch back to the programmed R-CTCS code when I exit the Menu.
This is because, even though the radio lets you go through the motions, you cannot change any of the stored parameters of memory from MR (channel) mode.
While in VFO (frequency) mode, it is possible update 3 parameters of a memory: T-CTCS tone, T-DCS code and the TX frequency. To change any other memory parameter in-the-field from the keypad, you would have to erase the memory and program it back form scratch with the desired changes.
I have not seen in CHIRP a way to program EITHER the R-CTCS or the T-CTCS, there's only one called:TSQL, which seemingly changes both the R-CTCS & the T-CTCS
Not seemingly. As explained above, that is what TSQL supposed to do. You would do the following to program R-CTCS only or T-CTCS only.
R-CTCS only: Tone Mode: Cross Cross Mode: ->Tone ToneSql: {desired CTCSS tone frequency}
T-CTCS only: Tone Mode: Tone Tone: {desired CTCSS tone frequency}
To better understand how this works, review "Understanding CHIRP's columns" document which is available from the CHIRP documentation area (accessible from a link on the CHIRP home/wiki page).

Technically, no. 0.000 Hz is not a valid value for CTCSS. What you want (and probably meant) is to change it to OFF. Yes, as explained above.
The miklor.com website also has other CHIRP guides and examples that may assist.

Thanks Jim - it worked! Just as you said - I switched from TSQL to Tone - good to go! All the best & 73, Ernst

Here is a cross reference between Chirp terminology and Baofeng menu terminology.
