[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R8W Repeater Config Error

[Rich NE1EE]

I have the BaoFeng UV-5RTP and the BTECH UV-5X3. I program them with chirp, and nary a problem. The images that show both +- on at the same time give me pause. I don't have any experiences with Baofeng, Kenwood, Icom, and Yaesu that has them both on. So...is there some way to do a factory reset on the Baofeng UV-5R8W? Offhand I'd not trust any operation unless I felt sure that the radio was operating 100% iaw mfg intent.

And...a chirp list related note...I had saved the original email for this thread, because of the images, but when I looked it up on the chirp mail list, all that I saw were the replies.

>Good day, CHIRP Users!  I am having some trouble using CHIRP with some new radios I am trying to program.  Simply put, I cannot get the repeater channels to work.  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.
