I have three Baofengs: UV-S9, UV-S9PLUS, and UV-5R and they all retain SFT-D in the memories whether set for positive, negative, or OFF for simplex.
?
The user manual I received with the UV-5R is more detailed than those received with the others and it provides two methods for setting the offset. I discussed these in a previous thread here. The first method involves setting both receive and transmit frequencies and the second involves setting the receive frequency (transmit from the repeater's standpoint) and SFT-D.
?
I was having trouble with the first method until a friend pointed out that it yields the correct transmit and receive frequencies during operation only if SFT-D is set to OFF or OFFSET is set to zero.
?
I haven't checked whether or not the two frequencies specified in the first method are retained when stored in memory, but when I specify SFT-D directly, it is retained and can be recalled and used. I don't know whether this will help with your problem, but I'm throwing it out here in case it might.
