<div>I don’t know why I’m receiving all these replies that are not applicable to
the query I first sent out. Please someone reply with programming experience
with the PuXing brand of Chinese radios.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><font color="#000000">I have a PuXing PX-888 radio, a Chirp supported cable,
and a Windows 10 computer. </font><font color="#000000">The cable is a <span>Baofeng
programming cable with a WCH chipset. I have verified that the driver for this
cable is the correct driver according to <a href="https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php#cable" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php#cable</a>
. </span></font><font color="#000000"><span>The
driver is CH340/341. </span></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><span></span></font> </div>
<div>I have no trouble programming my Baofeng radio, the cable works perfect
with this radio. I know how to use Chirp, I have programmed countless other
radios. I know that you download the radio image file *.img first.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><font color="#000000">The radio I’m having trouble programming is a PuXing
PX-888.</font><font color="#000000"> When I upload to the radio, or download from
the radio, the data gets garbled. Data does send both directions, but it’s all
mixed up. This cable does not do this with the Baofeng, it uploads and downloads
perfectly fine.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have also verified that the cable is plugging all the way into the PuXing
radio, according to <a href="https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_ErrorMess.php#error1" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_ErrorMess.php#error1</a>
. I am not getting these errors. As I said, data is flowing both directions, but
it’s all garbled. For example, if I download from radio, the channel locations,
frequencies, tones, and offset columns get all mixed up. If I try to upload to
radio, same thing happens, the channel locations, frequencies, tones, and
offsets get entered incorrectly</div>
<div><font color="#000000"></font> </div>
<div><font color="#000000">The exact model of my radio is not listed in Chirp, it
lists a PX-777, and a PX888K, but not a plain PX-888. When I click on DOWNLOAD
FROM RADIO, in the model selection it does not list PX-888 specifically, it only
lists PX-777, and PX-888K. I am using the PX-777 selection, as the PX-888K
selection does not work at all, it gives an actual error message. </font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"></font> </div>
<div><font color="#000000">Could this be the problem, Chirp does not support my
EXACT radio?</font></div>

<div>> The cable and disc came with the radio. And maybe on your screen
it says to upload but I only have two options highlighted Import to Radio or
Download from radio.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are you using CHIRP? There is "Import to Radio" selection.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div></div>
<div><img alt="CHIRP_Radio_Tab_Open.png" width="450" height="250"><br></div>
<div> </div>
<div></div>
<div>The "Upload To Radio" selection is only highlighted when you have a tab
selected that was either downloaded from a radio or loaded from a CHIRP
Radio Images (*.img) file that was previously saved from a tab that was
downloaded from a radio.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><img alt="CHIRP_Radio_No_Open_Tab.png" width="450" height="250"><br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>You still haven't provided any details like the exact error message, a
debug.log file or which operating system you are using.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>> I will continue to play with it and I appreciate all your
suggestions but have tried them all. Being a retired engineer I am not about
to let a man made object get the best of me.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It is generally recommended, unless it is from RT Systems, that you
ignore any disc that comes with a programming cable. For everything related
to Baofeng UV-5R like radios, you can get everything you need from links on
the <a href="http://miklor.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">miklor.com</a> website. No
programming software can will until you have the radio properly connected to
the computer. Once you solve your cabling issue, I'm sure that CHIRP will
work fine.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The #1 cause of trouble with most generic programming cables that come
with a disc is that the programming cable is manufactured with an
unauthorized copy of a Prolific USB-to-Serial chip. Assuming you are using
Windows, the device driver automatically installed by Windows (but written
by Prolific) is intentionally incompatible with these chips.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><img alt="3-PL2303HXA PHASED OUT SINCE 2012. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SUPPLIER. Properties.png" width="408" height="455"></div>
<div><img alt="1-Device Manager.png" width="561" height="411"><br><br><br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>To use the programming cable with Windows you must download, install
and select the older Prolific v3.2.0.0 driver that was available prior the
Prolific company deciding to cripple their driver for unauthorized copies of
their chips.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><img alt="2021-01-28 08_20_06-Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM3) Properties.png" width="408" height="455"></div>
<div> </div>
<div><img alt="2021-01-28 08_20_23-Device Manager.png" width="561" height="411"><br><br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The other common problem with these radios is an incomplete connection
between the 2-pin plug and the socket of the radio. Some are successful at
just pressing on the plug during the download/upload process. Others have
had to modify the cable to remove material that was interfering with the
plug from being fully inserted into the radio.</div>
