I bought two baofeng radios, one is UV-82C an the other is BF-F8H and I can get neither one to up load to the computer it says in the paper i got with the radios that the small CD disc has all the software on it but when i click on it open it there is just a bunch of files, it says in the instructions that to click on the radio on the menu bar but so far I have found no menu bar with a radio to click on. It says I have to upload to the computer before I can program the radio OKAY what do I have to do get past this point. I'm lost I can't even get started till this happens. thank you Jim KM6WC CM97iw

[chirp_users] I got an unsupported xinchuang TR-N7 radio, how can I add support for it?

Is there any place I can upload... say a "serial dump" file of communication between it and some propriety software (named SV83) ? I managed to create a serial sniffer cable, so if I have a place to upload it, then you guys could inspect and add support for it. Heck I think having a dedicated place to upload serial dumps would be great for reverse engineering efforts.

[chirp_users] Wrong data saved on pofung uv-5r
by clifton meager 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

When I program the tone frequency for rec. and tone type it saves as 88.5 (programmed as 203.5) and TSQL rather than tone. This happens on ch. 2. I have tone programmed only on ch. 1 and 2. None for ch. 3 and 4. The tone freq . shows correct for all transmit entries. Cliff
