A reviewer mentioned having to use the "." and Enter buttons in addition to the numbers to change channels using the numeric key pad. Is this true?

I just used the channel and "enter" button. Took a few minutes but it is connected and working great. Directions are included.

I enter the channel numbers and my cable box changes the channel. I do not use the enter button.

It uses a binary code to determine the channel. You can use a binary calculator to translate for you. For example 100 would be 01100100. The 1 is to be switched on and 0 off.

Mine switched from 12 to 24 hour format the first time I pressed a set key, and nothing I did afterward would switch it back to 12 hours. I went through every possible combination of the three buttons.

Normally you do have to change the key knob, but if you play an instrument/chords through the "Inst. phone jack" input it will figure it out.Just set the knob on CH instead of a key.

As far as I know you can not scan any channels using the manual or key stroke mode. The only way you can is to reprogram the radio using Baofeng's provided software. I have done this many times and it's not that difficult once you get the hand of it.

Yes, the keypad works like the push button in your garage that controls the door. It has nothing to do with the radio receiver for your wireless remote control.

You have to take the remote and click on setup then go to channels and process as if you were adding a channel. When you click on 2 dot 1 and hit ok it will enter the channel and remove the x that you see. If that doesn't help I don't have an answer for you.

Hey Alonzo- Everything is included as well at our LIVE tech support to walk you through the programing. If you need a keypad, we have those available as well. We look forward to helping you out. Thanks... Matty

I have mine programmed to scan by pressing "Menu" then "VM/Scan". Note that the channels have to have the scan function programmed in the software in order for them to be included in the scan list. Adding and deleting channels from the scan list can not be done from the keypad. That is one of the few weaknesses of the UV-B6.

They need to be matched up with with the toggles in the remote. You can change the channels if you have different remotes.

I don't have a keypad, but I did not have to reprogram my remotes. I really like the Chamberlin Internet Gateway. It works well and the alert feature is really nice. Be sure to plug directly into your router like the instructions say. I tried to connect mine through a switch and it wouldn't sync up. Hope this helps.

Haven't used it in awhile, but yes, that was one way. I believe you could also reverse the mapping and have the function keys be the default. The NICE thing about the odd position of the CTRL key is that it brings your hand into a better position to strike more keys.

I had no problem programming my keypad and remote. However, I had been made aware of the old versus the new keypad problem previously. Confirm you have the current model. If not, exchange it.

Yes, its a little hard to get to, but when you are on the manage inputs page, you just need to select the "Edit:" label. This will cause a keyboard to pop up so you can input whatever cable you would like.Home -> Settings -> Channels & Input -> Manage Inputs

I was just playing with that feature last night, and discovered there's no "." or "-" key to enter a digital channel (for OTA viewing). The range of the remote is fine. But I'll need to look for a better app.

Not at all. The setting choices are in the manual as well as inside the access cover. The switches are tiny and somewhat tedious to change, but otherwise straightforward.

I am able to use this remote on my TV of the same model. I am not able to use the keypad within my remote but I am not sure if there is something I can do to solve this or the remote I received is having issues. Bottom line. Yes. I do use this remote and everything works well other than the keypad for me.
