Hi Jesse,

You aren't doing anything wrong. Even though the menus will let you go
through the motions, you cannot change any part of a memory channel's
setting in MR (channel) mode. That is how these radios work.

The only per-channel settings that can be updated at all are the TX
frequency, menu 12 (T-DCS) and menu 13 (T-CTCS) and that must be done
in VFO (frequency) mode. To change any one of the other 7 per-channel
setting at the radio would require you to erase the channel and
program it back from scratch with the new value.

See the "Reference for UV-82 Radios" to find out what menu work in what modes.

You can temporarily toggle the power level by tapping the [#] key.
When you leave the channel in any way, the power level will revert
back to its programmed value.
