I have a new Baofeng UV-5R and have made my own cable to connect to it. The cable I’ve made is a DB9F to 3.5mm and 2.5mm plugs. The USB to serial adapter that I connect to is one that I’ve used with other things and works fine. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>With the connectors in the radio the display comes up with a solid black dot matrix in the top frequency display and most of the info icons across the top. When I try to read the radio with CHIRP, I can see some data communication on the lights of the USB/Serial interface and the radio display changes to almost normal but then goes in to transmit mode and everything stops. I get an error indicating that “An error has occurred - Radio did not respond”. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m hoping someone can suggest some things to look at to further troubleshoot this!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dan Grant<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
