[chirp_users] Newbie questions - export/import in CSV

[Rich Messeder]

I bought what appears to be the same unit, but labeled UV-5RTP (for tri-power, I presume?).

Jim's directions work for me.

In addition, note that once those channels are programmed, then they cannot be changed from the radio controls. However, You /can/ temporarily change the power level. Press #-lock to cycle through the power levels. It seems that once you choose a power level this way, the power setting remains until you reset the power level, turn the radio off|on again, or change programmed channels. In the latter case, the power level goes to the power level programmed for the new channel. I keep mine all programmed to low level, and cycle to higher levels as required. In fact, I wish that the lowest level were 0.5 W, not 1 W. Could not find a way to hack the radio to change that.
