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

[Joe abrahamson]

Well gents,

That fixed it!  I had tried com 3 and com 1 before and no luck.

Then installed the new (old) driver that Robert and Jim mentioned and again
no luck. Rebooted the computer and it works great now!

Thanks much for the help!
