Well, well, well. It is of course exactly what you said. I didn't go back to the online training for the display because I was so sure I remembered how it worked. Well, I "remembered" what my brain back-filled in my haste to get on with it. Created a whole mystery out of a fabricated "memory". Thank you again, Jimmy Vance, half for the info and half for no public belly laugh. I did a big enough one that you should have received part of it.
Goodnight, all.

Wait. Mayb e I get it. When I scroll through the channels it doesn't set to each channel. I have to select. Good grief. That's obviously somewhere in the manual I should have reviewed "in case I forgot something.". BLUSH! Thank you.

I'm guessing you have A set to display NAME and B set to display FREQUENCY, radio is set to A so it changes channels as you scroll up or down, B won't change until you set it to be the active display On 5/2/2024 4:43 PM, Rick Wannall via BVARC wrote: I have a Baofeng UV82. I connect it to my laptop with a Baofeng USBA-Kenwood 2-pin cable. The img file I exported to CSV starts like this: Location,Name,Frequency,Duplex,Offset,Tone,rToneFreq,cToneFreq,DtcsCode,DtcsPolarity,Mode,TStep,Skip,Comment,URCALL,RPT1CALL,RPT2CALL 5,NB5F,145.150000,-,-,0.600000,Tone,123.0,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 7,W5BSA,145.190000,-,0.600000,Tone,123.0,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 8,KD5HKQ,145.250000,-,0.600000,Tone,156.7,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 9,W5PAS,145.270000,-,0.600000,Tone,123.0,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, When I get into CHIRP, connect, open that img file, and upload to radio, it completes with no error report. However, when I scroll through the channels after disconnecting, I see the correct name for each channel, but only a single frequency is shown for all 100+ channels. At the moment it happens to be the first frequency shown in the csv file, 145.150, which is for channel 5. (Only 103 of a possible 127 channels are present in the img file.) And here is something that, to me, is even weirder. When I first completed the upload and disconnected, the frequency shown on all channels was 444.550, also a frequency in the img file, but not the last one. It is third from last. After I scrolled through and saw that, I turned off the 82 and set it aside. When I came back to it later and turned it on, the frequency shown for all channels had changed to 145.15. Huh?? I am digging around in about a dozen sites “out there” and although I find a few CHIRP problems mentioned here and there, and a few Baofeng problems, nothing remotely resembles this. I’ve looked at various pages in these sites: https://forums.radioreference.com https://www.reddit.com https://baofengacademy.com https://chirpmyradio.com https://baofengtech.com I checked for any available firmware updates. I got excited when I found that Baofeng had a software download for programming the 82 but after the install, when I open the software and try to “read from radio”, all I get are connection failures. Even though I set for Port 4 (what CHIRP used) and it accepted that. Humph. At this point, I am wide open for any pointer to a website, or to a forum, or any suggestion on how to proceed. I can certainly program as many channels as I need to manually, and in truth there’s only three or four that I routinely monitor around Houston, so that’s easy. But I surely would love to know how to get that frequency list into that radio. Any comment gratefully received. Thanks.
