OK, I'll admit being a complete dunderhead on this one. Wow.

Suffice it to say there were pain medications involved. Passing a kidney stone.

25.4 mm = 2.54 cm = (aprox) 1 English inch
This is also very close to 1 American inch.  The main problem in the imperial system besides the very arbitrary unit sizes is the problem of every country using THEIR standard unit.  As a Canuck I grew up knowing that precision measurements required specifying the standard.

Can we please drop this hijack and get back to the question.

    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
