<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The UV-5R{anything}, does not use offsets when saving memory channels. The RX and TX frequencies are saved. Even though you enter the RX frequency, shift direction and offset amount into CHIRP, CHIRP does the math in the background and sends the RX and TX frequency to the radio. The "+-" indication in channel mode lets you know that the RX and TX frequencies are different (even for TX inhibited channels).<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The SFT-D and OFFSET menus have no meaning in channel mode so they should be disregarded in that mode. The are only function in frequency (VFO) mode.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
The "Reference for UV-5R Menus" shows in which modes the menus are valid. Get if from the Miklor.com website. Look for "Menu Detailed Reference" on the home page.<br><br>Jim KC9HI<br></div></div>
