[chirp_users] BF 888s and UV5R

[Nate Alvin]

Updated chirp this morning.  Tried everything listed under Baofeng.
Ensured plug is seated properly and also tried holding in place tightly
while attempting to read.  It read and programmed perfectly 6 weeks ago
after i rolled back the driver on the cable for the fake chipset.  Cable
and software worked perfect for uv5r.....

ok. just a thought lol.

have you got the latest version of chirp?

have you tried slecting each radio type and do a read attempt.

its the plug sitting home in the radio as some varients the plug dont go
all the way in, give it a squeeze while trying to read.


I have a gt-3tp mk3 and until the later update last month, it was only
programmable using the uv-5r menu. due to the firmware version in the radio.

cant be anything wrong with the lead/usb/windows, as its working on the
other radio.
