>> My complaint
>> 
>> Regarding Firmware. If you refuse to provide Firmware to CHIRP programmers I will stop supporting your business & stop using your radios. I have sent you a lot of sales because of CHIRP & how easy it is to use. I love your radios & CHIRP. Together they are great! Honestly your software sucks! It is very difficult to use. I will not try it again. I suggest you supply CHIRP with the UV-5RV2+ & any future firmware or I will boycott your products & send new radio interests elsewhere.

>> Success !

>> It ended up being three issues:
>>

>> 
>> 2) While trimming the cable plug, I accidentally cut the ground wire. 
>> After repairing that, the old UV-5RA could be read with CHIRP.
>> 
>> 3) The 2014 version of CHIRP does not talk to the new UV-5RV2+. The 
>> latest build does work correctly with the UV-5RV2+. Thanks !
>> 
>> A learning experience.
