The settings are personal and customizable.

Here are some TIPs: The adjustments I make as standard after flashing a radio...

1 Step - step of the frequency (in kHz). Set it to 12.5 kHz

13 Demodu - demodulator mode. Set it to FM

31 Mic - microphone sensitivity (+1.1dB .. +15.1dB). Set it to 15.1

32 MicBar - microphone bar that appears while transmitting. Set it to ON

33 ChDisp - channel display style (name + frequency or number). Set it to Name + Freq

34 POnMsg - Power on message. Set it to Message

35 BatTxt - additional battery value on the status bar in % or V(oltage). Set it to Voltage

36 BackLt - backlight duration (OFF/ON/configured time). Set it to 2 minutes

56 AM Fix - activates the autogain AM fix function. Set it to ON

59 RxMode - determine how the upper and lower frequencies are used. Set it to MAIN TX DUAL RX - always broadcasts on the primary station (marked ►), listens to both (DW on screen)

and in the hidden menu

67 BatCal - battery calibration, measure the voltage at the back of the radio with a voltmeter and adjust the value in the menu accordingly

68 BatTyp - Battery type, 1600 mAh and 2200 mAh battery have very different discharge curve, this is used to calculate battery level percentage. Set it to 1600, or 2200 (mostly UV5RPlus).

Today I loaded a new radio with saved Chirp-file (made with the new Chirp driver)

Works perfect. All settings are OK and I only had to do callibration with 67.
