Thanks for the replies. It's not an importing issue since I'm
working with a file directly input to the radio via the microphone
keypad and the radio's menus. <br>
<br>
Today I started with the radio with only the channels I programmed
into it by hand, about a dozen repeaters into Bank A, and five
Simplex channels into Bank B. I then downloaded them into the
factory software and they looked fine (the factory software gives
you two separate windows, one for each Bank). I then downloaded the
radio to CHIRP and everything was all scrambled. <br>

radio. They might import but might be the wrong format. I am
thinking about the sorting thing could be as simple as 01
instead 1 or 001. With radio software like Chirp and
especially Chirp, because it works with so many different
radios, the formats of everything needs to be EXACT!!</div>

I always then program one frequency manually so that when I
download from the radio to Chirp I can see the format the
data is in. </div>

<blockquote>I just received the above radio and am having a
bit of trouble with the <br>

programming. <br>
The radio seems to work fine, the programming cable
connected right away <br>
without any driver drama, and the factory software even
loaded up and <br>
will upload and download to and from the radio, but it's
otherwise <br>
mostly useless**. Chirp seems to work fine as well as far
as reading <br>
and writing to the radio, and I was able to import UV-5R
files without <br>
any problem. The problem I'm having is the order of the
channels is <br>
scrambled when uploading or downloading. I THINK it has
something to do <br>
with the separate A and B memory banks. I made sure I
selected the "A" <br>
bank on the Settings screen, but it still seems to scramble
the <br>
channels. Earlier today I manually entered twelve local
repeaters and <br>
numbered them channels 1 through 12, all in Bank A, but when
I <br>
downloaded the radio to CHIRP, the #1 channel was now #4. I
also <br>
deliberately didn't give any of the manually entered
channels names, but <br>
there were channels with names scattered in with the other
unnamed <br>
channels, apparently from Bank B. <br>
<br>
If anyone has any ideas I'd like to hear them. <br>
<br>
** The factory software has two separate screens for Bank A
and B, and <br>
seems to work fine moving files to and from the radio. The
problem is I <br>
can't see any way to enter repeater offset frequencies or
-/+ values; <br>
apparently it's necessary to calculate and enter offsets
manually. <br>
<br>
thanks <br>
