[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R

Glad you got it going. Another point specific to this radio, at least to mine is to be sure the plug is all the way in the radio. I know that sounds obvious, but I worked on mine for hours without getting it going. Turns out that I was not connecting the cable completely into the radio. I thought I was, but even after it felt secure I had to push a little bit more to get a good connection. This radio has an extra stiff terminal in it. There is a very distinct "SNAP" once the cable is properly seated. As soon as I made that little extra effort every thing worked just fine.
Regards,
KC3AID
