Thank You for your reply.... yes I have 2 problems. The first. I was given 2 T20's awhile back. I was told that Chirp Would Program them under Baofeng BF 888, which worked wonderfully!! No problem at all.
I now have procured 4 more T models, which I've determined to be T20D's, by the markings under the battery, and have utilized the image file, previously used, to attempt uploads. I've been suggested to also try Retivies R22 and WLD CH 2 (?) which did not work either. I finally got the T20 file (BF 888) to paste to the T20D's, however, the 1 channel difference. I can tell the difference in that the transmitting from the T20 to the T20D's recieve lights.... They are both Widebanded. The Audio is another confusing aspect. The T20's act just like a BF888 (purchased one just for this experience) no problem. I'm told the D model should really be no different..... I've got these for my Grandkids utilizing my GMRS license 😆 I'm kinda at a dead-end.... What I do know has led me to need to learn more! Thank You for any insight and or suggestions! 73, Brother Tim Cahall, KE8JHO On Fri, Oct 3, 2025, 9:34 AM Ken Hansen via Users < [email protected]> wrote: > Do you have two problems, right? > > The first one has you trying to transfer channel programming from your > BF888 to your new T20c and the programming is wrong. > > Why are you trying to copy from the BF888?
