Baofeng Programing repeaters into Baofeng and BTech radios using CHIRP

[schriber]

I was doing some programing today using a UV-5RA and UV-5001 radio. I noticed something odd and I'm wondering if this is just a known issue that I missed or an actual issue.

After programing in channels for repeaters, they "seem" to work as expected however the settings for the channel in manual programing via the radio doesn't show the offset (+/-) or the offset frequency. Changing these values has no effect. It doesn't appear that changing the tones saves either. It appears that you program the radio via software or via the keypad, not both.

Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

Thanks!

It is normal.
Memory channels don't store the offset. If you program a repeater in a memory and then look at menus 25 and 26 the shift direction and offset will be "off" and "00.00"
You can't modify a memory (using the keypad) after you program it. All you can do is.
a) go to VFO (frequency mode)
b) enter a frequency ant transmit PL or DPL
c) if you try to save that to an existing memory it will overwrite the transmit frequency/tone in the memory channel.
d) you can't do that from memory mode you have to be in VFO mode.

Okay, that's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks!
