<DIV><FONT size=3>Hi Jim. Thanks for all of that info. I have never programmed
any ht or any other radio via a pc software and interface cable before. You made
things a lot more clear to me. The Baofeng ht is my 1st one. The only part
about getting the Baofeng back to the way it was before the #40 reset was hit
accidentally. By the way I think the #40 should have have some extra layer,
like (do you really want to do this) or something. is
re-setting up the (B) lower display. The (B) display was set with the words
showing "FRS1" (and the little memory ch number to the right) and the
frequency of 462.5625 in that memory ch and the next memory ch was
FRS2 and the frequency for FRS2 and on up to FRS22. I don't know how
to set this up. I have a group of friends (none are ham operators) when we go
hunting I have a bunch of FRS ht's. I let them use the FRS ht's and I carry
the Baofeng ht. The Baofeng does FRS frequencies. The setup worked very well. I
need to know how to get the (B) display back the way it was. </FONT></DIV>

would be hard to do<BR>so it took me a while to finally decide to do it. I was
surprised to<BR>find out, contrary to popular belief, that it is not a had
thing to<BR>do.<BR><BR>> I don't understand some of the columns on the
Chirp display after uploading the ht's memory.<BR><BR>There are some CHIRP
guides here that should help you out.<BR><A

The memory in the ht should be clean after the factory reset.<BR><BR>Not so.
First, menu 40 (RESET) is not a "factory" reset, . it is a<BR>"firmware"
reset. Its use resets the radio to the default settings<BR>stored in the
firmware which are different from how the radio was<BR>configured and received
from the factory. For example, one of many<BR>menu settings that is obviously
different after a RESET is menu 14<BR>(VOICE). From the factory it is set to
ENG (English). After a RESET it<BR>is set to CHI (Chinese). If you want
English after a RESET, you will<BR>have to manually change it back.<BR><BR>The
memories of these UV-5R style radios are not permitted to be<BR>"clean". The
fewest number of programmed channels you can have is (1)<BR>one. You will
never have more than 127 empty memories. Once the final<BR>programmed memory
is erased, the radio reboots and programs channel 0<BR>and channel 127 with
the firmware default frequencies and settings. So<BR>when a menu 14 (RESET) is
performed, the 128 memories are cleared as<BR>expected but then, the radio not
allowing this will reboot and<BR>reprogram channels 0 and 127 back to their
firmware defaults.<BR><BR>Try it. Reset the radio with menu 40. Then program a
3rd memory. Now<BR>erase memory 0 and memory 127 (in any order). And finally
erase the<BR>memory that was manually programmed. Once you erase the last
memory,<BR>the radio will reboot and memories 0 and 127 will be programmed
again.<BR><BR>The only way to "factory" reset these radios is to have captured
a<BR>CHIRP image from the radio immediately after attaching the battery
and<BR>turning the radio on for the first time and then saving that
tab,<BR>unedited, to a CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file. Loading this
saved<BR>image back to your radio is its "factory" reset.<BR><BR>> In the
attached picture memory channels 1 to 10 are the way all of the memory
channels are after the memory up load to Chirp after the ht factory
reset.<BR><BR>Except for memories 0 and 127. Since the "reset" erased all 128
of the<BR>radios memories, the radio reboots and programs channels 0 and
127<BR>with the firmware default frequencies and settings.<BR><BR>> Now to
the collumns, I know the column (tone) is for the tx ctcs and I assume that
the (tonesql) is the rx ctcs.<BR><BR>Not always. What a column does and when
it is used depends on the Tone<BR>Mode and Cross Mode settings.<BR><BR>For
example if Tone Mode is set to Tone, then the value in the Tone<BR>column _is_
used to set the TX CTCSS tone of the radio. The value in<BR>the ToneSql column
is unused and ignored by CHIRP.<BR><BR>If Tone Mode is set to TSQL, then the
value in the ToneSql column is<BR>used to set both the TX CTCSS tone and the
RX CTCSS tone. The value in<BR>the Tone column is unused and ignored by
CHIRP.<BR><BR>If Tone Mode is set to (None) or DTCS, the Tone and ToneSql
fields are<BR>not used and the values in them are unused and ignored by
CHIRP.<BR><BR>If Tone Mode is set to Cross, whether the Tone and ToneSql
fields are<BR>used would depend on the value selected for Cross
Mode.<BR><BR>> Why do the ctcs columns have 88.5hz in both
columns.<BR><BR>Because many of the fields of the CHIRP spreadsheet style
memory<BR>editor will be populated with default values when they are not
being<BR>used. The default values for the Tone and ToneSql fields happens to
be<BR>88.5.<BR><BR>> Those columns should be empty or 00.0 like in ch 11 in
the attached picture.<BR><BR>It doesn't matter if there are values in them.
Theese memories are not<BR>programmed so the fields in those memory rows are
not currently being<BR>used.<BR><BR>Normally the "Hide Unused Fields" setting
under "View" in the menu bar<BR>would be enabled (it is the default for new
CHIRP installations). With<BR>this setting enabled, fields that are unused
based on how other fields<BR>are configured, would be blanked out. It would
appear that you have<BR>inadvertently disabled this
setting.<BR><BR>Regardless, if tone mode is set to (None) or TSQL, the value
in the<BR>Tone field is ignored no matter if it is hidden or not.<BR><BR>>
And what are the columns DTCS code,DTCS rx code DTCS pol.<BR><BR>The are the
fields that are used to configure Digital Tone Coded<BR>Squelch when the Tone
Mode (and sometimes Cross Mode) settings are<BR>configured to use them. These
would be the T-DCS and R-DCS settings<BR>for your radio.<BR><BR>Once again,
look at the column guides.<BR><A
href="http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_CHIRP.php#guides">http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_CHIRP.php#guides</A><BR><BR>>
Why is there numbers and letters in the DTCS columns?<BR><BR>They are the
default values (023, 023 and NN respectively). They are<BR>currently unused
and are being ignored by CHIRP. They are only being<BR>displayed because the
"Hide Unused Fileds" setting has been disabled.<BR><BR>> Cross Mode I
know,<BR><BR>Based on the above, I respectfully don't think you
do.<BR><BR>> Duplex I know, offset I know, mode and power I
know.<BR><BR>Probably not fully. If you set Duplex to "split", then the
Offset<BR>field is set to the exact TX frequency. It makes it much easier
to<BR>program a cross-band memory.<BR><BR>> Somewhere in Chirp is the setup
to program the displays MDF (A) and MDF (B). I have seen a lot of chats saying
it is there but no direct info to find it. I could use some help
please.<BR><BR>Settings -> Basic Settings -> Display Mode (A): (Channel
