Well,m now you know all the channels I have on there. Enjoy lol. These are brand new radios that arrived this weekend, with the cable included. It is different from the UV-5's that I have, so i am glad it came with the cable.

Well if it came that way from the factory you could have simply included the backup factory "image" that you saved, unedited, after the first successful download and the only channels I would see would be the factory ones. ;-)

The problem is that the VFOs are set to a TX power level that CHIRP doesn't expect. This could be due to the factory making a change in how the TX power settings are stored. So that this can be verified please attach 2 or 3 "images" with the only difference being the TX power level selected in the VFO A. You can just tap the [#] key while VFO A is selected to cycle through the power levels. Download for LOW, MID (if it is available) and HIGH.

My guess is that if you cycle through the TX power levels in both VFO, valid values will now be in both VFOs and the Settings tabs will appear. But just the same, please attach the images, one for each available power level set at the radio (not CHIRP).

Thanks,

I changed both channels to HIGH MEDIUM and LOW and took an image after each. Settings did not appear on either download. I have attached all 3 to this.

Thank you for the files. Your radio is different from what CHIRP expects. I will have to do some additional research to figure out if CHIRP has a bug or Baofeng made changes to the setting. My guess is the latter since CHIRP has been the way it is for a long time.

In the mean time, before you download into CHRIP make sure to set the TXP menu of both VFOs to anything besides HIGH and your settings should appear. If either is left on HIGH before downloading, the Settings tabs will be blank.

Just a heads up, I realized I needed to update the radio in my vehicle, and the driver setup for Windows 11 still doesn't work. I followed the instructions and download the v3.2.0.0 and cable will still not work. This includes the cable that came with my AnyTone 778UV. Had to remove the unit from my vehicle in order to take it into my house and connect to a Windows 7 machine
