Yes, it is the same with Chirp and the provided software and also when you program the channel manually. I got a reply back from support and again all they can do is point me at the manual and the software. I countered with the information that I am using the software and I am aware of how to manually program the radio which is a pain BTW so if they reply with anything less than a solution to the issue I will return the radio with lesson learned. I can understand a cheap radio not putting out the advertised wattage which mine is doing about 19 but it was also advertised with the ability to add channels that have receive and transmit support. I would not recommend this radio to anyone. It would be best to save a bit longer and get a real radio and skip these cheap Chinese wannabes.

I am also finding that I cannot transmit on any channels above 30. If support does not find a solution I will be returning this radio and choosing another brand. If they have a solution I will post it here for others. WRPD822
