Enrique,

<br>
Thinks to know about your radio...
<br>
<br>
You didn't say which one of the more than 127 different CHIRP
<br>
supported radio models (by counting bullet points on the "Supported
<br>
Radio Models" list) you were trying to program. By what you wrote, I
<br>
am going to guess you are referring to a Baofeng UV-5R, a Baofeng
<br>
UV-82 or one of their many variants.
<br>
<br>
None of the settings of a memory channel can be permanently edited
<br>
from the keypad while in MR (channel) mode. You can temporarily put
<br>
the radio into "reverse" mode by tapping the [*] key. You can
<br>
temporarily change the TX power level by tapping the [#] key.
<br>
<br>
The only settings of a memory channel that can be permanently edited
<br>
from the keypad while in VFO (frequency) mode are the TX frequency and
<br>
either T-DCS or T-CTCS. To change any of the other 8 settings (RX
<br>
frequency, WN, TXP, R-DCS, R-CTCS, PTT-ID, S-CODE and BCL) from the
<br>
keypad, the channel would need to be erased and then reprogrammed from
<br>
scratch.
<br>
<br>
These guides cover which setting are global and in which modes they
<br>
will (and won't) work.

<br>
Things to know about CHIRP...
<br>
<br>
The CHIRP spreadsheet style memory editor only supports the settings
<br>
that are mostly common to all "ham" radios. PTT-ID and PTT-ID Code
<br>
(S-CODE) do not fall into this category.
<br>
<br>
The PTT-ID and PTT-ID Code are accessed in the Memory Properties menu.
<br>
To access this menu you can click on a memory row to highlight it and
<br>
then click on the [Properties] button at the top of the spreadsheet.
<br>
An alternate way to access this menu would be to right click a memory
<br>
row and choose "Properties" from the menu that pops up. Then in the
<br>
"Memory Properties" menu you would choose the "Other" tab to edit
<br>
these "extra" settings.
<br>
<br>
Tip: By highlighting multiple memory rows before accessing the "Memory
<br>
Properties" menu, you will be able to edit settings of multiple
<br>
memories at the same time.
<br>
<br>
I hope this helps.
<br>
<br>
