[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

[David Buss]

My older UV-82 will go to the chanel that had the last RX. My BF-F8+ and my UV-82HP stay on the channel that I told it to be on. Of course the UV-82's have the dual ptt. I actually like the fact that it keeps the channel I selected, that way if I'm talking on one frequency and the other frequency has a station id, I can keep talking on the original frequency without fear of my radio transmitting on the wrong frequency. I see the benefit of the other as well. Of course I am new to the hobby and don't know any better yet. It just works fine for me at this time.
