[chirp_users] BF 888s and UV5R

[Glenn At Home]

I would try it again with the UV 5R and if it still works on that, then you can eliminate the possibility of the cable.

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.

    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
