I am a new Ham with a 40 year background in all things electronic. I just picked up new 3 BF-F8+ radios and ended up having to send one back (couldn't program via cable). The replacement came in with different firmware -GRRR!- and an odd/invalid/strange entry in the ABR menu. See attached pic -I hope it is permitted. I can change value to off through 10 using keypad. From that point the odd character goes away 'till the next time I program with Chip to any value above 10. Above 10 the odd character comes back. Chirp allows 0 to 24 as usual and programs without protest for any value 0 - 24 but cant get actual time to go past 10. Any time less than 10 is handled correctly as expected. I reset radio, changed language back to English and then tried to set backlight beyond 10 seconds with no success. Used CHIRP daily-20150702 and an earlier build with same results. Also, the radio type selected was the UV-5R.<br>
<br>
If the radio had a 'normal' display this would be less an issue but with the inverse display it pushes the usability close to the edge in a negative way!<br>
<br>
Has anyone seen this behavior? Have I missed a step? Should I consider this a defect and try AGAIN for an exchange?<br>
