[chirp_users] uv5replus-vfo/mr disable?
by N4AOF 20 Jul '13

It is hard to make ANY radio "goof proof" Since you already have the UV-5RE+ model I won't point out that there are better choices for that particular characteristic. While you can't disable the VFO/MR button, you can disable the VFO by setting the lower frequency limit higher than the upper frequency limit. By the way, you would generally have more luck asking BaoFeng radio questions on a mail list for the radio instead of a list for the Chirp software. Try the UV-5R group on Yahoo at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r -----Original Message----- From: kf8sj(a)aol.com trying to make it goof proof. is there any way to disable the vfo/mr button. have figured out how to disable menu--which helps. have 6 on hand, and programming as 2 channel radios. thanks 73 jim kf8sj

[chirp_users] My friends 5R+

My friend found the problem and has his fix and the chirp software is working good. He deleted the original download of chirp and did the daily thing. No go. Then he deleted the download for the cable drivers and went to the prolific site and down loaded them again and it worked. so this one was a driver problem. thanks everyone. -- John KB4OIF Proud Vietnam Vet Freedom is not free, someone paid!!!

[chirp_users] baofeng clip/coming apart
by kf8sj＠aol.com 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

have twice had the big clip on back come apart. first time, hit wooden floor, secomd time landed on concrete, and battery flew off- call me clumsy. also dropped (accidently!) several other times! on the second drop-the spring, and clip landed in some grass, but was able to find them. this is one rugged little beast! this on a uv5r but believe clip same on most models ANYWAY---after second explosion-got out the jb weld (epoxy)-put a dab on each end of the pin going thru the spring, and a dab on the spring in the rear. NO MORE SEPARATION PROBLEMS. presently firing up 6 uv5re plus units-they have all been epoxied! love this little beastie! word to the wise. get out the epoxy now! 73 jim kf8sj

Thanks Jim. My friend is still working with it and is trying different things. He is coming over to the house on so we can both look at it. I have 2 cables. One for the wouxon 2ud and the one that was purchased AS A BAOFENG cable from Amazon thru etekcity. On the box it says it is for a Wouxun radio. I called them and they said it was the same cable. We will try to get him up and running. He has been able to program a few MANUALLY and they are working for him. I believe he got a BUM cable. -- John KB4OIF Proud Vietnam Vet Freedom is not free, someone paid!!! There would be no freedom without the military........ In GOD, we trust.

Question... What exactly is Grayed Out? The model, Com Port... What error message is he getting. http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-ErrorMess.php Are you running the latest Daily Build?
