I recently purchased two BF-F8HP radios. I wanted to program them both with CHIRP. I downloaded the 1st radio's image, saved it as a backup, made my changes and saved the modified image separately, then uploaded the modified image. The 1st radio was working fine.
As I was preparing to upload to the 2nd radio, I decided to add another frequency to the image file. I uploaded this to the 2nd radio, no problems. I then uploaded the new image to the 1st radio. I turned the 1st radio off, then unplugged the programming cable. When I turned the 1st radio on again, it immediately started crashing, attempting to restart, crashing again, repeat.
If I turn the radio on with the volume knob less than halfway, the radio will start up, but the double-beep it does on startup is a little distorted. It seems to operate normally otherwise. Turning the radio on with the volume knob over halfway results in the infinite crash/restart loop.
I tried to do a menu 40 restart, that had no effect. Reuploading the factory image file also had no effect. I was unable to find any info regarding this problem via Google or forum search. Anybody have any ideas?
