Jezz - TDR is dual watch/frequency and the S on screen means it is switched on. This is just a guess but if the radio is not widebanded and TDR is on, is it that you are trying to TX out of band? Have you put both VFOs in a ham band and tried
Have you tried harsh language, I find it helps in these matters. You probably won't fix the issue, but you'll feel a whole lot better about it.
You mean tell the radio to do one and chuck it?
@@2j4ez no, I'm just joking, however that may be an option as they are inexpensive.
Have you tried checking the channels in chirp to make sure that Duplex isn't off. When set as "off" it can engage a "transmit inhibit mode".
None is fine as is full or half.
Baofeng UV5R VIP windows CPS has a Tx under BDS star on off option (whatever BDR is?
Try removing the battery and that should remove the cashe.

Hi Jezz, is there somewhere in the menu of this HT to switch on and off a tx lock some HT's share this function with the keypad lock.
Is there something in Chirp to toggle TX to "off"?
Tried that made sure the uhf/vhf options were ticked
@@2j4ez got me stumped!

If you do the button press correctly (which I did not see) the radio will turn on and say "factory" so, yeah. Try again thumbs.
