Subject: [chirp_users] BF 888s and UV5R

About 6 weeks ago, i purchased the 2 radios listed in the subject line to test them out for work.  I programmed them both to the frequencies assigned to our license.  We were assigned a corporate license recently, with different frequencies, vs our stand alone site license which is going to expire.  Using the same computer, same "fake prolific" Baofeng cloning cable and the updated daily CHIRP software i was able to reprogram the UV5R, but when i went to read the BD888S i received the error message "radio refused to enter programming mode".  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks
