CHIRP

The image you attached has a bunch of channels programmed (VHF1, VHF2, ... UHF1, ...). Are these the channels you're intending to get into the radio or the ones that came pre-programmed in the radio?

What channels do you see programmed into the radio if not these? Your debug log does not show you doing an upload to the radio. Updating this bug with the Help tool after an upload would help to confirm that the upload is completing as expected.

Yes, those are frequencies in the 'img file. All 28 channels went to the
radio. However, if I put Ch 1 in both the top and bottom, they had
different frequencies. One is a VHF and the other is UHF.

I got a feeling there is something I am missing. I am not sure what you
are saying about the debug thing. I opened it and quickly shut it off. It
was giving me a headache.

I am thinking of doing a reset. Get rid of everything and start over.
Export the radio to Chirp .csv. Then copy to an .img file. Delete all
but one channel. Copy back to .csv the load back to the radio. If that
works and everything is as I expect. I may add another frequency. I am a
long way from needing repeaters, etc.

I am going to do all this using the 5RM and UV-5RH templates. One img for
each and see which is better. Hopefully the UV-5RM joins the party soon.

I have a feeling that maybe you're misunderstanding how the radio works with the top and bottom displays, but I could be wrong. If any of the channels got uploaded to the radio then all of them did. The entire memory is uploaded as as a single unit. You might want to seek some usage help from a users group as this mechanism is really for reporting actual bugs, not for getting usage help.

I'm not asking you to read the debug log, I'm asking you to generate one after you attempt an upload to the radio, per How_To_Report_Issues. I.e. open chirp, open an image you want to send to the radio, do the upload, then use Help->Report or update a bug and enter this bug's number (11752) as the "existing bug". That way I can confirm that the upload is completing.

The UV-5RM is the same as the 5RM. Baofeng is very inconsistent with their naming and have released the same radio marked as 5RM and UV-5RM, as I understand it.
