Thanks Fred OK some more information. I have CHIRP Version 0.2.3 installed on a Windows 7 64bit machine. I have the RT Systems USB cable for the FT60-R and an aftermarket USB cable for the UV-5R. I have installed the drivers for both above cables and verified the COM Port they are using. Both are COM4. I started CHIRP software, plugged in the RT Systems USB cable, held down the Moni key while turning on the FT60-R and the software responded with an error message stating: "An Error has occurred. Radio is not responding" with an OK button. Now I was told by a friend that the FT60-R has a problem conneting for the 1st time, but it will be easier there after. But then what are the tricks that will make it easier to connect the first time? Thanks 73 Wassim

I unsuccessfully tried using a cheap aftermarket cord for my UV-5R+ on both Linux and Win7. I never could get the radio to communicate. I ended up purchasing a cord from Valley Enterprises (no relation with the company) and it worked. (No driver was needed for Linux. I did need to download a driver for Win7.) I believe the cord was originally for a Kenwood KPG-22 radio. (Valley's part# RPC-K1-UF.) --- Now for something fun... get a female SMA to PL259 adapter, and run your Baofeng through a mobile antenna. You'll be happy! <grin> Bob Nielsen <n7xy(a)clearwire.net> wrote: >You may need to plug in the cable before starting CHIRP, so it picks the correct driver. > >Bob, N7XY > >On Dec 12, 2012, at 3:15 PM, WN6WJN - - Wassim <wn6wjn(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> Thanks Fred >> >> OK some more information. >> >> I have CHIRP Version 0.2.3 installed on a Windows 7 64bit machine. >> >> I have the RT Systems USB cable for the FT60-R and an aftermarket USB cable for the UV-5R. >> >> I have installed the drivers for both above cables and verified the COM Port they are using.

[chirp_users] I need Help...

Hello All Happy Holidays and I hope this message finds you well. I need help really bad. Here is what I am trying to do: I have a Yaesu FT60-R and a Baofeng UV-5R. I want to use CHIRP to transfer all the memory contents on the FT60-R to CHIRP, adjust some entries, add some entries, and move some entries around and then repopulate the FT60-R memories and populate the UV-5R. Now I should say that I have been using my FT60-R for 2 years, but my UV-5R is almost brand new. Thank you for any DETAILED step by step information on how to do this. 73 Wassim

Good evening, I can't seem to upload to my UV5, I have CHIRP on an XP machine, I have downloaded the channel info from my UV5-RE 293. From the help menu I have listed versions GTK 2.24.10 PyGTK 2.24.0 Python 2.7.2 When I try to upload, the radio type & file type buttons are grayed out, can't be changed. Thanks for you help, Tom

This won't work. Your Baofeng is not a Vertex. 1. Download from your UV5. 2. Type or import any channels you want on the UV5. 3. Upload to UV5. Tom KD7LXL
