<p>I see others are able to us Chirp with
the UV-5RA but I cannot and I can only
guess why.</p>
<p>I also have the UV-3R and I have no
problem with it. When I select which radio
to program the listing for UV-5 is all
there is for the UV-5 series. I have the
proper programming cable, turn the radio
on, then try to download from the radio,
and it tries but times out and I am told
the radio is not responding.</p>
<p>I am running Chirp under Ubuntu and I
keep everything updated, including
‘daily-build’ for Chirp. One thing bothers
me though; when I look at the “about” and
check the revision level of Chirp, it
shows 20130802 (8/2/2013) yet when I try
to update, it says I have the latest
version. I am not sure about that one.</p>
<p>Anyhow, the bottom line is my Chirp works
great with the UV-3R but not with the
UV-5RA, using the proper programming
cables of course. Same computer, same
software, different programming cables.</p>
<p>Any clue to what is wrong with my set-up?</p>

<div>There is no difference between the UV-5R and
UV-5RA (or any off the other variants) electrically
so the UV-5R selection in CHIRP is the correct one
for all of them.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>A common problem with the UV-5R is that the user
does not get the programming cable fully plugged
into the radio. See the Miklor.com Errors and Error
Messages page: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-ErrorMess.php"
target="_blank">http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-ErrorMess.php</a><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Another common problem is that because of the
USB-to-serial chip that is used in most of the
programming cables available for the UV-5R, an older
driver is required for the cable to function. The
guide to verify and install the correct driver is
also on the Miklor.com Drivers and USB Cables page:

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This good news is that if the driver is the
issue, changing to the correct driver for the UV-5R
programming cable should still work for the UV-3R
cable.<br>
<br>
Good luck and 73,<br>
