Should have shown the radio as TYT-TH3R which is in the drop down box of the program. As mentioned previously .. When I download from the radio to the computer all appears well as the radio connects to the computer, the light flashes on the radio when transferring data. However the contents of the radio do no show on the "grid" display. The display shows blank frequencies. There is a tab that shows on that screen something was downloaded but I seem to be unable to figure out where. I am obviously doing something wrong. </div><div><br>On Oct 5, 2013, at 4:06 PM, Milton Hywatt <<a href="mailto:mhywattt@yahoo.com">mhywattt@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div><span>I've never heard of that radio.

radio connects to the computer and when I try to upload from the radio to<br>
the computer the light on the radio flashes and appears to upload the data<br>
to the program. I see where there is a tab showing the TYT upload but<br>
nothing shows (no radio frequency contents) in the program and I don't see<br>
the data in any program folder.<br>

Can someone kindly point me in the right direction in order to use Chirp.<br>

thank you kindly<br>

<br>You can not use File -> New to start the programming for your radio. CHIRP won't know what radio it is for and therefore has no idea what features are available. You must download from the radio first to get a template that is compatible with your radio.<br>
<br>But in your case, you can't because it doesn't look the the TYT TH-UV5R is a supported radio. I may not be looking in the right place, but I can't find evidence that there is a TYT TH-UV5R.<br><br>The CHIRP home page lists the radios that are supported by CHIRP<br>
