Odd that you have to give them 10 inches before they take the mile in Metric. In Imperial you only have to give them an inch (2.54 mm).

Well, you know what they say about the metric nerds:

    "Give them 25.4 mm. and they'll take 1.6 km."

    Yep but getting them to change is like pulling hens teeth,
    or get the metric thing done. On the second one, my car
    is metric, my radios are metric, my appliances are metric,
    but go to the hardware store and buy metric hardware...
    They have it but it is just 3x more than SAE...

    So getting rid of the term codeplug falls in that area...

        The rather unhelpful term 'codeplug' originates from an EPROM
        based hardware key which AMTRAK train drivers inserted into a
        Motorola radio in the cab. This term pre-dates digital radios
        by decades.
        It is the source of much confusion, and I much prefer the term
        'configuration file' which is much more descriptive and far
        less obfuscating.

            The Baofeng UV-82 doesn't use "codeplugs" as it is an
            analog radio, also CHIRP isn't for digital radios, just
            analog.

            Michal are you using the incorrect terminology, or are you
            talking about a different model which IS digital?

                I have a Baofeng UV-82 that was programmed, I
                downloaded the codeplug, added a frequency then
                uploaded the new codeplug to the radio.
                When I went to turn the radio back on, there was only
                a faint display visible on the top line.
                It looks like a series of black rectangles. Doesn't go
                beyond that, no channel, no frequency, none of the
                keys respond. I tried taking the battery out and
                turning it back on... no help.
                Tried downloading front the radio... nothing.
                Is the radio bricked or is there something else that I
                can try ?
                tnx
