<DIV>CHIRP does not support PuXing PX-888 radio.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From the supported radio list:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Puxing</DIV>
<DIV>PX-2R (UHF)</DIV>
<DIV>PX-777</DIV>
<DIV>PX-888K</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Only those models. Not the PX-888. Nor any other number similar to
"888" like the PX-888D which also exists.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This place still sells them, maybe they have programming software you
can download.</DIV>

<DIV>This page has software for PuXing PX-888D and PX-888K.</DIV>

<DIV>RT Systems has software for your model also.</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> </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="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> </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>
