[chirp_users] Could use a hand with a BaoFeng and Chirp

[John Wuest]

Check the COM port assignments.Plug the cable into the USB port...Go to Control Panel > Device Manager...Click on Ports and see if the cable is listed and see which port is assigned.Load CHIRP and make sure the COM port matches what you found in Device Manager.If its not the same, change it in CHIRP.Hope this solves your problem.

Thanks for the ad. Have been a CHIRP user (and donar) for a while now and no issues.
Then had my desktop computer die and replaced it with a Win7 64 bit unit. Installed CHIRP and I thought everything went fine but when I tried to upload the new frequency list to the radio (a UV-5RA thats about a year old) it keeps telling me that "an error has occured. Radio did not respond" 
I have used this same cable and radio in the past with CHIRP with no issues so am guessing that its the computer or OS. Have tried both 0.4.1 and "chirp daily-20150218" found on the BaoFeng site, both with the same results.
Ideas?  Am volunteering in a ham event tonight and would love to have the radio as a backup for my older Kenwood "just in case"....
Thx,
Joe AKG7FDXPhoenix
