Hello all, I programmed my GT-5R with CHIRP-Next and all was fine, except when I tried to program a simplex channel in my radio to access my SHARI AllstarLink node.
In the memory tab, I set "Duplex" to "off", as the logical choice among "+", "-", "split", and "off". But when I tried to transmit after loading that channel into my radio, it would not transmit (no RF, display color didn't change). So I went in, looked hard at the settings, and discovered there was another option lurking in plain sight - " " (blank). When I selected (blank) and loaded the radio with the modified channel, it worked fine (TX as expected, in simplex). If I look at the (actually pretty good) GT-5R manual that shipped with the radio, it says I have three choices for that field, menu item 25, SFT-D: "OFF [0]" TX = RX (simplex) "+ [1]" TX higher than RX freq "- [2]" TX lower than RX freq There's no mention of "split" or "off". In short, the only valid options appear to be "-", "+", and "off", which I guess could be set to " " (blanks). I just thought I'd share this here, I'll open an issue on the chirp-next website to get this fixed.
