[chirp_users] UV5RE+ N5R-213 bug? Dual watch w no priority. Set to slot A, gets RX in slot B reverts to A to TX

[Jardy]

Let me put it another way. I don't want to be talking to someone on A and have the radio switch transmitting sides on me just because B had traffic on it. I have had times where 2 people both had Yaesu dual banders, listening to both the same frequencies. One person calls the other on one side, person 2 answers on the other. The conversation goes on for a few minutes until somebody notices and says something. Others listening to one or the other frequency but not the second one are trying to figure out if the person they are hearing are nuts or not, talking to themselves. Best thing to do is to identify what frequency you are on, just like Jim said.
