CHIRP

You must not upload the same CHIRP image between your 2 radios. Baofeng has at least 4 different methods of storing the FM frequency now. So if you upload the image to a radio that uses a different method you could see anything from a wrong frequency to nothing at all.

If you want to transfer frequencies between radios. Download form both into CHIRP and then copy/paste between tabs.

Thank you...I do have three separate img files one for the UV5R, one for the UV-S9 (Radioddity) and one for the A58S. The UV5-R is fine no problems.

Would you attach 2 CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) files for each radio (1 with FM working and 1 if FM not working)?

New information...The UV5R is fine. The UV-S9, appears to be a rebranded UV-5R. So using a third party app that enabled the 2 band UV5R to become a triband radio. I tweaked the UV-S9 with the triband freqencies is this app, first using the program to re-program/flash the UV-S9 and then using chirp to reinstall the frequencies. Lo and behold the FM radio came back. Chirp allowed the A58S to extend the frequencies to about 10-30 mhz outside of each traditional Ham bands. Since this radio is used as the hurricane survival/breakdown of other communication channels I am not upset about loss of the FM radio ability.

Please describe exactly the steps you perform to cause the FM to not function.

Also attach 2 CHIRP Radio Image (*.img) file.

• File 1: The radio after a RESET with FM working
• File 2: The radio after the minimum steps (as described above) it takes for FM to not function
