[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R8W Repeater Config Error

[A Boer]

Thank you for the quick response, Nigel.  As suggested, I performed what appears to be a factory reset on each radio using the reset option on Menu page 40.  I then downloaded the .img file from each radio source into CHIRP, edited my Settings and Memories and saved the files separately for each radio.  I then uploaded the .img files back into their corresponding source radios. The radios still will not talk to each other through the repeater.  I tested the radios with several other repeaters in the area with similar results.  I assume this process satisfied the concerns with using the same file for both radios.  Please advise if I am mistaken on that point.  Thank you.

You can't upload one img file to both radios. You must consider all radios as different and download from each before editing and uploading.

I downloaded the .img file from one radio into CHIRP, copied and pasted the repeater configuration from the CHIRP list of repeaters and pasted it into my .img file, then uploaded the .img file into both radios. The radios will not talk to each other through the repeater. I have gory details with screenshots and radio display pictures in the attached .jpg files. If anyone has the time to review those details and has some ideas on how to fix this problem, I would certainly appreciate the feedback. Thank you for your time.
