 I stumbled on these two "hidden" settings on my Baofeng radio yesterday which I added to the [[/references/radioprogramming |Short Guide]]:
-  * <key>*</key>
-    * Short press to reverse repeater output and input
-    * Long press to scan channels or frequencies
-  * <key>#</key>
+  ? <key>*</key>
-    * Short press to toggle between H/L power
+  : Short press to reverse repeater output and input
-    * Long press to lock the controls
+  : Long press to scan channels or frequencies
+  ? <key>#</key>
+  : Short press to toggle between H/L power
+  : Long press to lock the controls
+===== Other Tips and Settings =====
+From the <key>MENU</key> settings:
+  * 7. ''TDR ON'' allows the radio to quickly scan between the A/B channels or frequencies.
+  * 8. ''BEEP OFF'' turns of the beep when pressing buttons.
+  * 14. ''VOICE OFF'' turns off the voice when pressing buttons.
+  * 21/22. ''MDF-A/B'' sets how the channels / frequencies are displayed.  I have one set to ''NAME'' and the other to ''FREQ''.
+  * 39.  ''ROGER OFF'' turns off the roger beep.  <fc #ff0000>Please turn this off!</fc>
+The other setting I recommend changing is the squelch levels using CHIRP.  More info on how to do that on the [[howto/chirp#basics |Chirp How-to page]].
