same factory as the Profung. A lot of issues with program cables for all
these units. I purchased mine from Baofeng, no "Chinese" knock off, and
worked right out of the package. My HT is great, easy to program,
versatile, and fun. Hope you enjoy yours.</font></div>

<div><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">As I was just getting restarted into Amateur Radio after 40
years, i decided to purchase a Baofeng UV-5 on Amazon. However, thinking I
would be doing better by getting a newer model, I purchased a Pofung UV-6R.
Nice little radio for 2M/70cm. However, it had one of the worst manuals
I have seen; no explanations of specific items in the menus nor explanations
of adjustments.
<div><br></div>
<div><br clear="all">
<div>I ordered an adapter cable and downloaded Chirp figuring I could do most
of my adjustments in memory via software. I used the forums and read
everything I could about the Baofeng. The one thing I kept running across was
that several people had to conncet and reconnect the cable to their computer
to get Chirp to recognize the radio. Okay, that was something to
remember.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I received my OEM cable in the mail and tried to use it. My computer
would not recognize the radio. Was it Chirp or was it the cable? I did
some research about the cable and learned that occasionally an error was made
in manufacturing when soldering the usb modal. The receive and transmit wires
were soldered backwards. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>A fairly quick solution was to open the usb connector and properly
resolder the wires. Eureka, its alive. Once I connected the cable back into my
computer, Chirp recognized the radio and I was up and running.</div>-- <br>
