Hey gang. So Ive had no issues before with hitting my local repeater on my Baofeng UV-5r. I just got a new laptop because my old one is messed up and I cant connect anything usb to it. So I downloaded Chirp, the driver for y USB cable and uploaded the program list from my HT. I edited it to pick up a local 911 dispatch which works fine but now my local repater isnt comig theough at all. Also when I try to edit the channel manually in the radio menu, when I go to change the offset from 00.000 to 00.600 like its supposed to, it just clears it and resets back at 00.000. The problem here is that in Chirp, I have the repeater set to 00.600 like its supposed to be. So now Im totally confused as to why its not showing up that way on my radio and this HAS TO be the reason my local repeater isnt coming through...right?
Ive triple checked my program list in Chirp and even tried redownloading the list back into both my UV-5Rs and its the same old story. Im at a loss as to why Im locked out of my programming menu for the offset, PL Tone and a couple other things most likely. Is there a problem with Chirp or just a setting I need to change? Thanks in advance.
