Galen,

What you have stated above is completely clear.

Unfortunately this is something that Baofeng has accidentally or
intentionally changed. It began with the release of N5R firmware for
the UV-5R series of radios and variants about a year ago. It has just
recently started rolling out in the UV-82 radios with the N82
firmware.

This is the way the hardware works. CHIRP can do nothing about it.

The best you can do is get person 2 to say "this is person 2 calling
on 446" so that person 1 will know which frequency to reply on.
