Isn't this the same as your bug #10395? That bug mentions settings problems, or is this a separate thing?
We'll need an image of your radio as well in order to figure out what value is out of range for you.

I get the same results with 20230307 and 20230311. I uploaded the log file with the initial bug report and have had no response.

Please attach a freshly downloaded CHIRP Radio Images (*.ing) file from this radio. Thanks.

The POST RESET file is after doing a "Reset All" on the radio. This is the file that creates the error. It is a different error and message than the the last one I reported. Last time I could open the Settings tab, this time it won't even do that.
The second file was captured after using and old BTech CPS to program the radio.
I initially put this up on Btech's FaceBook page and was told to program it with CHIRP, that "they have fixed this issue."
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the "image" file. Based on the seemingly random variations of settings coming up with out-of-range settings there seems to be some "bit flipping" going on in the wild with these radios. I am in the process of sanitizing all/most of the settings to once-and-for-all prevent this issue. This will take me some time to accomplish.
In the mean time you can just download and use the "factory" image that is available in the CHIRP repository (link below). None of its values are out-of-range.

Please close this issue. Btech sent a link to download the factory image. After uploading it to the radio CHIRP Next works perfectly. Hopefully you can determine what the actual problem was when you review the files I uploaded. Thank you for your patience!
