[chirp_users] Boafeng UV-5RV2+ unable to download

[John Schubert]

Which cable did you buy? I did some reading before ordering the cable & spent
the extra for the "FTDI Authentic Genuine" cable. I downloaded daily-20160507,
followed recommended startup & see 128 channels. Programed 2 BaoFeng BF-F8+
(UV-5R), no problems. Seems to work great for a radio that costs 1/2 of the
replacement battery price for my Yaesu... ;-)
