<br>
Last year, I purchased a Baofeng UV-5R Plus and a programming lead with the<br>
intention of setting up the radio with Chirp.<br>
<br>
A long story cut short - the lead was one that contained a "dodgy" Prolific<br>
IC, so I recently purchased a CP2102 module, and replaced the USB part of<br>
the lead.<br>
The drivers loaded correctly, and I have set the Com port.<br>
<br>
But, try as I might, all I get is "Radio failed to respond" from Chirp.<br>
<br>
My guess is that I am doing something wrong. So, what is the secret?<br>
<br>
Chirp help says to choose a quiet frequency, but makes no mention of whether<br>
the squelch should be open, fully closed, partly closed or what.<br>
Do you connect the radio to the lead, turn it on, and then click the OK<br>
button when prompted to do so? Or do you leave the radio off, and only turn<br>
it on when prompted?<br>
<br>
Also, I don't see the UV-5R Plus listed. I have tried using UV-5R as the<br>
model, and also tried using BF-F8HP, but I get the same result from both.<br>
<br>
So, what am I doing wrong?<br>
<br>
