Baofeng Offset frequency issue w/ CHIRP

[Radioman_911]

I am trying to program my Baofeng UV82 and i am using seperate TX frequencies by setting the Duplex to "Split" and then putting the TX Freq in the Offset column. This is right and it transfers to radio alright. However, when i save my file and open it back up, those offset TX Freq's now display as a numeric +/- Offset instead of the Frequency. Anyone have a solution?

It looks like the +/- offset is exact the previous input frequency..... i am just needing frequencies to stick, not the offset number.

works for me, just in the duplex put in a + or a - then in the off set column, calculate what your transmit frequency is, how much higher or lower from the receive frequency it should be.. I don't use split because of similar problems but this work around does work. Save to radio then bring up that frequency, assuming your tones are correct, you should be on frequency. Or go to the channel, then press *scan to go to reverse, with a frequency counter, or another radio, you should hear your transmit frequency. In case its an active frequency, go to your lowest power, maybe in your basement, to avoid getting into the repeater. Just somewhere to mask your signal.

It stores the offset, not the value. Is it incorrect?

yes you put a + or - in offset, then calculate the off set from the receive frequency. It works for me. I checked the transmit frequency and the radio reacts like it is suppose to.
