[chirp_users] Radio request
by James McLellan 07 Dec '14

I would be very grateful if you could add my trusty old Alinco DJ-V5 to the radio interface list. RT Systems <https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/alinco-handheld-radio-programming-software-s/1 857.htm> used to have a program for this radio but it has been long since discontinued and they're not interested in discussing it. The radio is robust and feature rich but, as with most handhelds, a nightmare to program manually. Thanks, Jim McLellan K5BAA

Re: [chirp_users] Pofung/Baofung UV-B5 on MAC OS X

So I id install the 3.2.0 driver on my Windows machine at work. After that I was able to access the radio with CHIRP. Thanks for that! When I got home I tried some steps to remove/disable the existing USB driver on my MAC that I found in a thread on a forum I read too. After installing the driver for "counterfeit" Prolific cables I still got the "radio did not ack" error. I then changed the COMP (29) menu setting to ON. That seemed to do the trick! I can now access the HT with CHIRP on my preferred mac machine. Now I need to RTFM to figure out how to use a dual band radio. Never had one before. thanks for your help.

[chirp_users] Pofung/Baofung UV-B5 on MAC OS X
by mason fann 02 Dec '14

Was there ever a resolution this thread? http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_users/2014-November/006832.ht… I am having the same issues with a new Pofung(baofeng) UV-B5 on both Windows 7 and MAC OS X Mavericks with CHIRP. The OEM software works fine on Win7 for me though. There is not MAC Version so I can't do much troubleshooting on it. CHIRP does work on the MAC with a Puxing 777 and a Kenwood TH-K2 successfully. Only the UV-B5 gives the error.

Hi I was wondering whether anybody can tell me whether the FTY-8300 dual band two-way handheld radio is a clone of one of the models supported by CHIRP?
