Factory reset DM 1701
Any way to do this? Uploading a blank code plug is not a hard/factory reset. I want a radio exactly as it was when taken from the box. Cheers, Nick.

A lot of interesting thoughts and suggestions. One of the issues is the varying supply voltages. In my truck and RV, I have 100Ah LifePo4 batteries running all the comm gear. With the chargers on

Re: Chirp and the NA-6K?
The Baofeng web site states that they work in cooperation with Chirp but I see no evidence of that at all. In fact, I see Baofeng radios sold by Radioddity that are supported by Chirp, but those same

Charging from 12V
I've got several Baofeng chargers that have a 10V wall wart and say 10v input voltage. Do these have a problem supplied with 12V? I want to put one in my truck and one in my RV and run them from 12V.
