I asked a while back, but got no response. Since there has been a bit of a conversation about transmitting, I thought I would ask again….<br>
<br>
Using CHIRP (latest stable or daily) I find that I can specify odd splits (not just +/- .6), but the software doesn’t seem to save them correctly. Anyone notice this besides me? If I set it up in CHIRP, it will hold long enough to program the radio, but it reverts to some odd mixture of either + or - in that column if I try to save and reload the spreadsheet. I have to reset the correct transmit freq every time I use it.<br>
<br>
I’m famous for oddball issues, so if this affects no one else, I’ll just live with it, but I would call it a bug worth noting to the software developer(s). BTW, I’m using the Mac version, but I don’t think it matters. Seems like I had the same issue when I tried a Win version.<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>

CHIRP will examine the 2 frequencies, calculate the difference and update the entry using the Duplex (- or +) and OFFSET equivalent. Try these examples.<br>
