> Here are the two images. Also I know beyond the scope of CHIRP probably at this point so thank you again. I see it still reverts to those two ghost channels. Also interesting is that when the radio reboots after upload and download, the A and B channels are both then on channel 0 (programmed as 2m Calling) every single time. I guess because the channels it thinks it is are not even programmed at all....<br>
<br>
What you might try is copying channel 0 to channel 191 and channel 1<br>
into channel 144 to see what happens after the cloning process<br>
completes.<br>

> I did as you instructed and changed them manually both to 15. When I try to do that via the number pad by typing 015 (on both channels it does this) it beeps and goes to 014 instead so I had to manually scroll up to 15 to change it. Even still...as you can see the radio is h changing them to channels 191 and 144 which are not programmed at all.....I did not change "uploaded" image from what I have sent already. This is what downloads from the radio....<br>

Unfortunately these radios don't select 1 digit and 2 digit channel<br>
numbers from the keypad the same way that a typical Baofeng handheld<br>
radio does by keying in the full 3 digit channel number (pressing<br>
[0][0][7] to select channel 7 or [0][1][5] to select channel 15 as in<br>
your example). What I have found the most reliable is to keep tapping<br>
the first digit of the channel number you want until you see that<br>
digit currently selected as the single digit channel number and then<br>
follow it with any remaining digits.<br>
<br>
To select channel 15<br>
Tap [1] # if the small channel number displayed shows " 11" or "111"<br>
then repeat this step<br>
Tap [5]<br>
<br>
But as you have noticed, more often than not, the radio will beep and<br>
the channel will change to 14. This is clearly a bug in the radio.<br>
<br>
None of the bits flipped after you manually selected channel 15 on<br>
both display lines. Your radio definitely has the bytes for the MR A<br>
channel: and MR B channel: display lines stuck on channels 191 and 144<br>
respectively. The radio appears only to read these bytes when it boots<br>
because it sounds like the radio works normally otherwise, right.<br>
<br>
This is nothing that CHIRP can overcome. My only recommendation would<br>
be use channels 191 and 144 as your preselected "call" channels for MR<br>
A channel: and MR B channel:.<br>
