[chirp_users] BAOFENG UV-5Rs acting strange when programming with Chirp

[John Randle]

I have been maintaining several UV5R's with Chirp for a couple of years 
without any issues.
I am currently running Chirp Daily Build 20151126 on W10 to program 
several UV5R's. I have recently experienced two strange programming 
operation issues, with all the UV5R's, that I have not previously 
encountered.
First problem: After downloading the current configuration of the 
UV5R's, I then proceeded to add some new memory channels that use 
Digital Coded Squelch settings.
When programming the DCS settings, I first set "DTCS", then I set the 
individual T-DCS and R-DCS codes and then I set Cross to "Tone -> Tone" 
(as this is what the existing DCS memory channels reflect), but as soon 
as I set the offset direction, Chirp changes "DTCS" to "Cross" and 
changes "Tone -> Tone" to "DTCS->".  As these settings are not what is 
required (or at least what is currently reflected in the older DCS 
memory channels), I then have to go back and reset "DTCS->" to "Tone -> 
Tone" and "Cross" to "DTCS".  Is there any reason why my initial inputs 
are being over-ridden?
Second problem:  After successfully uploading a new configuration to the 
UV5-R's, the UV5R's automatically go into transmit mode about 5 seconds 
after they restart if the programming cable is left connected to the 
radio.  This seems to be a new issue that I had not previously experienced.
Any suggestions on either problem will be greatly appreciated.
