They need a rig for testing. Are you willing to loan your TS 2000?

Haven't tried to go from chirp to radio. Wanted to use chirp to backup what I had first. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID "D.J.J.

Sorry but not sure what you mean by step. I'm new to both chirp and the uv5ra.

[chirp_users] UV-82 new firmware version
by David Singleton 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

I just bought a 2nd UV-82, and CHIRP reads it but will not display any data, if I try to write to it I get a unsupported version error. I have another UV-82 that works perfectly with CHIRP. Checking the radios I see the following firmwares #1 - BF8210 (works with CHIRP) #2 - B82S21 (Does not work with CHIRP) any ideas?

Re: [chirp_users] UV-5RA problem

Yesterday I was trying to program some Baofeng H777 radios using the same cable that I use to program my Baofeng BF-888S, UV-5R and various Wouxun radios. Try as I could, I kept getting a bad connection error. I changed cables and everything worked perfectly. Try a different cable.

Warren Andreasen – K7CWA Warren, There is no difference between the UV-5R and UV-5RA (or any off the other variants) electrically so the UV-5R selection in CHIRP is the correct one for all of them. A common problem with the UV-5R is that the user does not get the programming cable fully plugged into the radio. See the Miklor.com Errors and Error Messages page: http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-ErrorMess.php Another common problem is that because of the USB-to-serial chip that is used in most of the prog
