<div dir="ltr">Thanks Jim! I thought for sure it used to "remember" the B channel but it looks like you're right (as usual - really appreciate your help on here). I went back and grabbed a CHIRP build from January and it still behaved the same way. You're correct also that it remembers the A channel but not B.<div><br></div><div>Thanks again,</div><div>Tycen</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Nov 13, 2018 at 3:25 PM Jim Unroe <<a href="mailto:rock.unroe@gmail.com">rock.unroe@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Tue, Nov 13, 2018 at 1:47 PM Tycen Stafford <<a href="mailto:tycen@tycen.com" target="_blank">tycen@tycen.com</a>> wrote:<br>

> In CHIRP, under Settings > Work Mode Settings you are able to specify "MR A channel" and "MR B channel" as the default channels your radio starts on (assuming the VFO/MR mode is set to Channel). This has worked for me previously - but a while ago something changed. I don't have an exact timeline - in the last 6 months or less I believe.<br>
<br>
All this does is preselects the desired channel when the cloning<br>
operation is completed. If you change it to something else after the<br>
upload finishes, nothing will automatically change it back.<br>

> MR A channel setting is still "respected", but no matter what I put in MR B channel the radio starts up on channel 1. I tried changing it to other channels (and saving then uploading) multiple times but there is no change. When I change MR A it gets applied, but not MR B.<br>
<br>
Are you sure this is not a firmware bug. It is on other radios of this<br>
type. My radio with color display raid with 4 display lines will<br>
"forget" the channels selected in display lines C and D when the radio<br>
is power cycled. This has nothing to do with CHIRP and there nothing<br>
CHIRP can do about it. Try it. Select a channel in the B display line<br>
and then power cycle the radio to see if it remains the same.<br>
<br>
Also make sure there is a channel programmed for the one selected in<br>
the work mode settings. The radio can't select a channel that is<br>
empty.<br>
<br>

<br>
I'm pretty sure that there has been nothing changed in CHIRP that<br>
would affect this. But for the sake of argument, install a CHIRP daily<br>
from 6 months ago. If it works, then there must have been a change.<br>
Tell us which version works and we'll be able to figure out what went<br>
wrong. If you can't find an older version that works, then that<br>
confirms that nothing changed in CHIRP and CHIRP is not the cause.<br>

<br>
I've got a KT8900-Mini somewhere around here. I don't know if that is<br>
close enough or not.<br>
