couple of weeks. They are all programmed with a Chirp file he put<br>
together with all of the local repeaters, plus a couple of simplex<br>
channels he uses for his church security. The security channels are on<br>
channel 0, 1 and 2. When I copied the Chirp file into my Anytone<br>
mobile, I couldn't hit the repeaters until I figured out all the channel<br>
numbers were offset by +1 number on the Anytone. Apparently the Anytone<br>
doesn't want to have a channel #0. Once I understood what happened it<br>
was easy enough to offset the channel numbers in the Anytone file to get<br>
them where they were supposed to be. I was wondering if this was<br>
normal for some radio memory registers to start with "0" and some with "1".<br>
<br>
Also my Anytone Chirp file sometimes hangs up or freezes, while I<br>
haven't had any problems with the Baofeng Chirp files. It usually<br>
freezes during a cut and paste operation or during an import or<br>
operation. Not a huge problem but sometimes annoying. Should I be<br>
downloading new daily Chirp builds?<br>

So, yes, this is normal. So don't program channel "0" with anything that you would want to be common amongst all radios.<br>
