<div dir="ltr">Hello Robin,<div><br></div><div style>I have a UV-82X (same as UV-82 but the 2M/1M version) and I successfully programmed everything into it. There is a disc provided with the cable, which has some drivers and a program (albeit in Chinese!) for programming info. If I recall, I tried installing everything from the disc first and then tried installing with chirp and it worked without a hitch. I wonder if it might work if you have everything installed from the disc and then installed chirp? It might be a long shot, but it may be worth trying. It's the only thing I can think of that I did differently.</div><div style><br></div><div style>Good luck,</div><div style><br></div><div style>Shon</div><div style>K6QT</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr">Shon R.

Good evening all,<br>
<br>
Thanks for adding me to the group. This is my first msg to the group!<br>
<br>
I recently purchase 3 Baofeng UV-82 with the original Baofeng programing cable. I followed the instruction to the letter on on <a href="http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_CHIRP.php#start" target="_blank">http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_CHIRP.php#start</a> to installed the driver and the CHIRP software. Now when I click on the CHIRP icon, the msg : ''Error reporting is disable : If you wish to disable this feature, you may do so in the help menu.'' I click OK and the dialogue box closes and the program doesn't open. I have the correct driver and I downloaded the program (daily version). The cable is correctly connected to my computer and to my radio (the pins are completely pushed into the radio). Before I click the CHIRP icon, I have the radio plugged into the computer and it's on frequency mode.<br>
<br>
Is there anything I've missed or someone can think of? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
<br>
Robin<br>
