In the advanced settings section for a Baofeng UV5RA in Chirp there is a "RESET menu" enable check box and "ALL menus" enable check box. What do these do?<br>
Thanks,<br>

<br>There is no way, in the typical UV-5R family of radios (see link below), to keep the user from accessing VFO/Frequency mode. This pretty much diminishes the usefulness of these settings.<br><br>Import Communications' most recent F-11 (private label UV-5R), on the other hand, has a custom firmware that allows the [VFO/MR] key to be disabled. Disabling the [VFO/MR] key with the radio in MR/Channel Mode keeps the user in that mode and allows the "RESET Menu" and "All Menus" settings function as intended.<br>
