</span>Same here. CHIRP has supported the Baofeng UV-82HP since it initial release.<br>

<br>
</span>I would suspect that is because you are setting Tone Mode to TSQL<br>
instead of Tone.<br>
<br>
The following are the Tone Mode options available for the Baofeng<br>
UV-82HP (and most other UV-5R and UV-82 style radios) taken from the<br>
"Understanding CHIRP's columns" document.<br>
<br>
(None): No tone or code is transmitted, receive squelch is open or<br>
carrier-triggered.<br>
<br>
Tone: A single CTCSS tone is transmitted, receive squelch is open or<br>
carrier-triggered. The tone used is that which is set in the Tone<br>
column.<br>
<br>
TSQL: A single CTCSS tone is transmitted, receive squelch is<br>
tone-coded to the same tone. The tone used is that which is set in the<br>
ToneSql column.<br>
<br>
DTCS: A single DTCS/DCS code is transmitted, receive squelch is<br>
digitally tone-coded to the same code. The code used is that which is<br>
set in the DTCS Code column.<br>
<br>
Cross: A complex arrangement of squelch technologies is in use. See<br>
the definition of the Cross Mode column for details.<br>

<br>
</span>This is because, even though the radio lets you go through the<br>
motions, you cannot change any of the stored parameters of memory from<br>
MR (channel) mode.<br>
<br>
While in VFO (frequency) mode, it is possible update 3 parameters of a<br>
memory: T-CTCS tone, T-DCS code and the TX frequency. To change any<br>
other memory parameter in-the-field from the keypad, you would have to<br>
erase the memory and program it back form scratch with the desired<br>
changes.<br>

<br>
</span>Not seemingly. As explained above, that is what TSQL supposed to do.<br>
You would do the following to program R-CTCS only or T-CTCS only.<br>
<br>
<br>
R-CTCS only:<br>
Tone Mode: Cross<br>
Cross Mode: ->Tone<br>
ToneSql: {desired CTCSS tone frequency}<br>
<br>
T-CTCS only:<br>
Tone Mode: Tone<br>
Tone: {desired CTCSS tone frequency}<br>
<br>
To better understand how this works, review "Understanding CHIRP's<br>
columns" document which is available from the CHIRP documentation area<br>
(accessible from a link on the CHIRP home/wiki page).<br>

<br>
</span>Technically, no. 0.000 Hz is not a valid value for CTCSS. What you<br>
want (and probably meant) is to change it to OFF. Yes, as explained<br>
above.<br>
<br>
The <a href="http://miklor.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">miklor.com</a> website also has other CHIRP guides and examples that may assist.<br>
