[chirp_users] Chirp and BaoFeng UV 5R not communicating

[Jardy Dawson]

If Windows does an update, it might change tho the ‘latest and greatest’ version of the driver. If the cable has a fake Prolific chip in it, that driver is designed to make the fake chip not work, so you have to roll it back to 3.2.0.0.  The driver will also be updated if you plug the cable in a different USB port.

Did you check Windows Device Manager to see if your cable shows to be a Prolific cable?  If it is, try rolling your driver back to 3.2.0.0. Check www.miklor.com for info. Check under Drivers.

  Charles,  I have never gotten my radios to sync either and Finely  gave up.   I even bought 2 cables thinking it was a cable I followed all the instructions just like you.   If you succeed, please email me back

    Try making sure you vigorously plug the connector into the radio and hold it in while loading from chirp.  Also turn the volume up from minimum.   Last resort run chirp as adminstrator.

On Wednesday my 2 BaoFeng UV 5R radios could download and upload to CHIRP.  
 
On Friday all I got was the following message:  Radio Did Not Respond.
 
I tried reloading the latest version of CHIRP, no change.  I tried an earlier version of CHIRP, no change. I reloaded the latest version back, no change.  Visually the radio's red light blinks then the LED display blinks then the error message shows up on CHIRP.
 


 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks Chuck KJ7INT
