Hello! I'm new so have no knowledge of current discussions! Chirp is an incredible tool and it worked great on the first try with my handheld! The reference materials helped me find a driver that worked for my old Sabrent Serial to USB adapter cable on my Mac running OS X 10.8.5. Hurray!

I also have a Quansheng TG-UV2 & would like to see it supported by Chirp. Do you need a loaner?

Any chance quansheng tg-uv2 will be supported in chirp? As far as I know it's quite a popular breed and I'd expect the inner workings to be a copy of one of the others. regards, xychix

I am able to set all the parameters in the software but when I set a minus or plus shift it will not record or change from none. It changes in the small edit box but not on the program file. Thanks in advance for the help. Frank

[chirp_users] Baofeng uv-5r plus not able to read from
by Tony Cratz 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hello, I just purchase a UV-5R+ and was trying to program it. I'm using the chirp-daily respository version. USB Cable: : Prolific Technology Inc. pl2303 3-2:1.0: pl2303 device: /dev/ttyUSB0 UV-5R+ Firmware: BFB297 (as reported via power-on) I get the typical unable to connect to radio, but when it is trying to clone I see on the HT the "Welcome...." message and then I get the timeout message. As for the cable, it does seem to be full seated. I have pressed and held the plug in to make sure and get the same results. First is there a debug mode I can turn on to capture the hand shake between the computer and the UV-5R+. I figure this would help the list. Tony

Hi Again Ok, something that may be wrong with my load of Vista. First on a standard windows download and installation of Chirp used to show a nice serial plug for an Icon. I don't see it, should I? Now if I should see it on the desktop panel and don't anyone have any ideas of why? Marty kd8bj

[chirp_users] Connecting issues to VX5R solved
by Marty Hartwell 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi Thanks to all that have tried to help me solve this issue. Turns out to have been a slight operator error, I think. After getting the correct driver installed, I did mention that I saw the com port number in device manager. I also was not getting the second window but that was solved by the new build I installed. On my XP system when the window with com port and other choices showed the com port was populated, on the Vista system is was not. So I added "Com 3" in the slot, vendor and radio, attempted and failed, many times. The solution turns out to be I should have entered for port, "com3" which worked fine. Things on the Vista are getting somewhat better but still not like it was before the reload of the OS but progressing. At least now I can make changes to the memories of my Vx5R, FT817 and FT2800 fromt he PC I may be portable with. Again thanks to all who have responded with ideas. Marty kd8bj
