[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-82 Offset

[Jim Unroe]

Adam,

Both CHIRP and your radio are working correctly.

Menu 25 (SFT-D) and menu 26 (OFFSET) only have any meaning in VFO mode.
They unnecessary in MR (channel) mode because the UV-5R and its variants
(including the UV-82) does not use them in this mode. Instead, memory
channels store both the direct RX and TX frequencies.

Visist the UV-82 home page on the miklor.com website and look for "Menu
Definitions - Detailed" to get a copy of the "Reference for UV-82 Menus".
It explains the menus and shows when they are or are not active.

CHIRP lets you enter memories into the spreadsheet editor using the shift
direction and offset, but it actually does the math in the background and
sends the required RX and TX frequencies to the radio.

To verify all is working as it should, select a display (A or B) in MR mode
that has its Memory Display Format set to FREQuency (menu 21 or menu 22)
and then select a channel that has been programmed for a repeater. The
currently selected display should be showing the RX frequency. Now tap the
[*SCAN] key to put the radio into "reverse" mode.. An "R" should appear in
the upper status display and the any display with its MDF set to FREQ
should be showing the programmed TX frequency. Tap the [*SCAN] key again to
exit "reverse" mode.

In MR mode the "+-" symbol is displayed to indicate that the RX and TX
frequencies are different. This would be true for a repeater channel with
standard offset, a split channel with an odd offset, a cross-band channel
or TX inhibited channel. A separate "+" or "-" indication is only available
in VFO mode when menu 25 and menu 26 are valid.
