Glad you got it going. Another point specific to this radio, at least to mine is to be sure the plug is all the way in the radio. I know that sounds obvious, but I worked on mine for hours without getting it going. Turns out that I was not connecting the cable completely into the radio. I thought I was, but even after it felt secure I had to push a little bit more to get a good connection. This radio has an extra stiff terminal in it. There is a very distinct "SNAP" once the cable is properly seated. As soon as I made that little extra effort every thing worked just fine.

That did it. I had to run through the Driver process 4 times but finally got it. Thank you.

If neither software works, let's go back to the drivers. Review http://www.miklor.com UV5R Drivers section. Windows should not use any Prolific Driver newer than 3.2.0.0 Let us know if this helps.

Is there a way to change the "Wide" bandwidth to "Narrow" with the CHIRP software. I don't see it on the spreadsheet. Thanks Jim W7JWT

As leader of a VE team I keep up with rules and changes. The narrow banding only applies to business radio, amateur radio is not. Jock KC6IIH In a message dated 7/24/2013 2:55:54 P.M.

It is the Mode column on the main spreadsheet. FM=WIDE NFM=NARROW The upper status display of the UV-5R will show an "N" indicator for every channel that is programmed to NARROW. Having no "N" in the upper status display indicates the channel is set to WIDE.

[chirp_users] Read FT-60R Fine, Won't Upload to VX-3R
by Clint Bradford 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

New CHIRP-er, using Windows XP. Chirp sure read the 90 memories on my FT-60R marvelously. I saved that datafile, and tried to upload it to a VX-3R. It went through its routine ... took time enough to upload everything ... but only uploaded first 10 frequencies/memories into the VX-3R. Any idea what I am doing incorrectly?
