[chirp_users] Baofeng BF-F9V2+ interface with Chirp Programing Software
Recently purchased the BF-F9V2 radio, the connector cable recommended (FTDI Cable from BTech) downloaded the latest update on the Chirp software and the values for Offset direction and Offset don't clone down to the phone. Need help!

These radios don't use or store offsets in a memory channel. Instead they store the RX frequency and the TX frequency.
CHIRP takes the RX frequency, shift direction and shift amount to compute the TX frequency and uploads it and the RX frequency to the radio because that is what it requires.
So when a memory channel is programmed where the TX frequency is not the same as as RX frequency (such as a repeater, odd-split, cross-band or TX inhibited channel), a "+-" will be indicated in the upper status display.
When menu 21 (MDF-A) or menu 22 (MDF-B) is set to FREQ, then the radio will display the RX frequency. You can either press the PTT button or tap the [*] key to put the radio in reverse mode to see the TX frequency.
