way CHIRP (or the radio) is handling the channels after 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>
