Menu 14 (VOICE) on the original UV-5R was either<br>> ON or OFF. The default after a RESET is ON. A UV-5R with BFB251 firmware or<br>> later, menu 14 has the choices of OFF, ENG (English) and CHI (Chinese). The<br>> defalut after a reset is CHI.<br>> <br>> Take a look at the "Reference for UV-5R Menus"<br>> http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/ (scroll down to "Menu Definitions - Detailed")<br>> <br>> So as others have already pointed out, you can use menu 14 to take care of<br>> this using the radios's keypad. To do this using CHIRP you would download<br>> from your radio, access the Settings->Advanced Settings menu and set Voice<br>> to English and then upload the change back to your radio.<br>> <br>> Jim KC9HI<br>> <br>> <br>> On Wed, May 21, 2014 at 11:27 PM, Michael Clark <mpjjm0101@msn.com> wrote:<br>> <br>> > When entering my one and only repeater frequency, offset, TX, RX, etc.,<br>> > the language changed from English to Chinese.
