Hello all,
New to the forum and well as to UV-5R. I have been going through the process of setting up the BaoFeng and wanted to find out whether I was entering channels numbers in the correct way.
It seems that I have to first select "0" before I can then enter the channel I want. That seems very odd but it is the only way I have found to go to a channel.
When I am in channel mode, if I press numbers on the keyboard, nothing happens other than the screen flashes briefly but the channel does not change.
If I select "0" first, I can then enter other numbers to go to specific channels. The really strange thing is that is I want to go to channel 100 or above, I have to go to channel 99 and then use the up arrow to go below that channel. The reason for this is that I enter "0" for it to "register" I want to enter a channel number, but once I enter 1, "0" and then the last 0, it thinks I am trying to start over. I know all that seems really odd but I am just not sure if I did something for it to be acting this way.
Now, the one caviate to this is that if I press "0" then something like "25," I can quickly then enter a number above 100 within it thinking the first 0 is starting over. If I wait more than a few seconds, I sort of get locked out and have to go back to "0" to enter channel numbers.
any thoughts from the group.
thanks everyone.
