CHIRP

This is a strange issue that I've tried to resolve for a long time, off and on, but the Baofeng UV-6 (not to be confused with the UHF-only UV-6R) appears to set something as a RX tone for each repeater channel. The strange this is that it only appears to do so for channels that have an offset. On simplex channels, it doesn't do this behavior. Using another HT, I went through each and every single CTCS and DCS tone to see which RX tone might be being set when none was programmed, but couldn't receive audio using any CTCS or DCS tone. It may be setting garbage for this value. The consequence of this issue is that this particular HT, the UV-6, can only be used with repeaters that TX with a tone as you can simply just set the channel to have a RX tone for that particular tone the repeater TX's with. However, since most repeaters don't TX with a tone, the UV-6 won't be able to output audio from them. Note: This may be a hardware or firmware bug. I've tried three different UV-6 HT's and all three exhibited this behavior.
