[chirp_users] Chirp latest daily with Baofeng UV-5R
by Matt Grice 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Hi all, I am using a Baofeng UV-5R with BFB297 firmware and CHIRP daily (today's build). I have used Chirp successfully with the Wouxun KG-UVD1P, Baofeng UV-3R and Yaesu FT-857D, however, when I use the USB cable I got for my Wouxun to try and download the img from the UV-5R the radio does not communicate with the software. Chirp sends two magic numbers to the rig, but the rig doesn't reply. I have tested Chirp with the Wouxun and the UV-3R, and it works fine. Many thanks Matt M0ZAI

You might wander by the Chirp website and let them know that. They have the UV-5RC on their list for future development because ONE user has repeatedly reported that Chirp crashes on this computer ever time he tries to read the data from his UV-5RC. None of the developers has a UV-5RC so they have not been able to confirm the problem and, of course, no one bothers telling that that there really isn't any problem with that model. -----Original Message----- From: john_k3nxu Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2013 11:49 AM To: baofeng_uv5r(a)yahoogroups.com Subject: [baofeng_uv5r] Re: UV-5RC and Chirp I have a UV-RC BFB293 running CHIRP.

I also noted an entry in that New Model list for be BaoFeng UV-5RC with some further discussion about the history of the request but ending up with the same effect, blocked until some developer has one. I found this rather odd since the BaoFeng UV-5RC is the same radio as the rest of the BaoFeng UV-5R family with just a different case on the outside but the same hardware and firmware inside. From the data listed in the entry, it appears that there is ONE user complaining repeatedly that Chirp crashes when reading data from his radio. I'm going to check with the UV-5R user group to see if anyone else is having any problem with this model. 73 de Tom N4AOF
