Forrest,

Visit the UV-82 home page on the miklor.com website.

Many of the CHIRP settings correspond to menus in the radio. So scroll down to Menu Definitions - Detailed. The links there will allow you to view or get a copy of the "Reference for UV-82 Menus". For your example, the Scan Resume method pertains to menu 18 (SC-REV).

From this guide:

TO=Time Operation - scanning will resume after a fixed time has passed CO=Carrier Operation - scanning will resume after the active signal disappears SE=Search Operation - scanning will not resume

Both the time the radio stays on a channel before scanning continues (TO) or after a signal is no longer being received and scanning continues (CO) is set in the firmware and cannot be changed.

Hi….new to the list, with a question.

Using CHIRP 0.4.0 with a UV-82 that I recently purchased. In the .img file there are two tabs on the left, Memories and Settings. I found a wiki that pretty well describes the various columns along with how to set things up in Memories. However, there are quite a few things under ‘Settings’ and I have not found a wiki or other reference to those. Does one exist? I realize that many of these settings are not things that would be in need of change, but others I’d like to know more about. A simple example would be under ‘Advanced Settings’ is ‘Scan Resume’ with the options of CO, TO and SE??? There are other things as well, but that’s an example. Commercial radios I’ve used before have scan resume setting in number of seconds.

BTW, I have no intention of screwing up the radio by randomly changing things which aren’t well defined or explained. That’s why I’m asking here!

:)

Thanks, Forrest
