[chirp_users] Problems Connecting Baofeng UV-5R to Software

[John LaMartina]

If it takes multiple tries, but eventually loads fine, 

you may want to remove the antenna from the radio 

or dial it to a known quiet channel.

 

An open squelch can sometimes impact the transfer process.

Below is the USB to serial software I am using with CHIRP running on OSX 10.7, programmed my Baofeng and my Wouxon using the Baofeng
cable, worked like a charm.  Straight from the CHIRP documentation of OSX tips:

 

Some UV5R owners have reported that this driver works for Lion (10.7.x) and Mountain Lion (10.8.x):

I'm running Chirp on OS 10.8.4, trying to program a bunch of radios (Baofeng UV-5R) for our Civil Defense volunteer CERT
communicator groups.

I am aware that there are some issues with certain cables.  So far, I purchased two cables (from different vendors), most recently
Wouxum-US.

In all cases, I am unable to connect to any of the radios using CHIRP (Mac) or the Windows (XP) with the Baofeng code.

I've used the drivers with both that came from the Wouxum site.

In both Mac and Windows, the software comes up and presents itself.  When I attempt to read the radio, after a pause, I get a failed
to connect message.

Can you give me direction as to how best to fix this?
