Description

I am able to read from the 5XP and also write memories back to it. The issue I am having is that the 'Settings' tab within Chirp is blank so I can't set any of those options. FYI that I am using the 'Baofeng UV-5X profile within Chirp.

Thanks

One or more of the settings has an invalid/out-of-range value.

Attach the downloaded CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file to this issue (or email it directly to me) and I will correct the offending setting and return the corrected image.

Hi Jim and thanks for your reply. I have attached the img file per your request. In case I have this issue again in the future, can you tell me how you are correcting the image? Is it something I can do myself as well?

Thanks

Two of the UHF squelch threshold settings were out-of-range. This is starting to feel like a common issue. I've had to help at least 2 others recently with a similar problem.

Yes. You could fix this yourself. The trick is knowing what to change.

The corrected image is attached.

Hi Jim

I just wanted to confirm with you that the new image you sent works great.

In terms of repairing the image myself, maybe I can look in the forums then? I should be able to reverse engineer it with a hex editor but was just wondering your suggested method.

Thanks again
