<div dir="ltr">What radio type did you pick in Chirp? Arcshell AR-5 are BF-888S clones. I have some Arcshell AR-6 and some other BF-888S clones and they all work well with Chirp if I use the BF-888S radio type. <br><br>HOWEVER...I did run into this issue with some of my BF-888S radios (3 out of 6 from the same Amazon order): <a href="https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/4249">https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/4249</a><br><br>I have no problems with my counterfeit prolific cables on Mac for my other radios - I'm past that issue. But like Jim details in that ticket (thanks Jim! - <a href="https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/4249#note-12">https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/4249#note-12</a>) there are some BF-888S radios out there that just won't work with the counterfeit Prolific cables (even if you've overcome the driver issue in general). <br><br>So, my solution was to finally pony up the ~$20 and get a FTDI cable (I still use my cheap $5 counterfeit Prolific cables for the rest of my Baofeng's).<br><br>Good luck,<div>Tycen</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Oct 25, 2019 at 12:37 PM Carlton Noles <<a href="mailto:carlton.noles@gmail.com">carlton.noles@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I am attempting to program these radios and get "radio refuses to enter programming mode" when trying to download hte config from the radio.</div><div><br></div><div> newbie if you couldn't tell <br></div> <br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr">Carlton Noles<br>-------------------<div><br></div></div></div></div>
