[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R
by Dan Grant 08 Mar '17

08 Mar '17

I'm VERY new at this so hope this question isn't off base! I have a new Baofeng UV-5R and have made my own cable to connect to it. The cable I've made is a DB9F to 3.5mm and 2.5mm plugs. The USB to serial adapter that I connect to is one that I've used with other things and works fine. With the connectors in the radio the display comes up with a solid black dot matrix in the top frequency display and most of the info icons across the top. When I try to read the radio with CHIRP, I can see some data communication on the lights of the USB/Serial interface and the radio display changes to almost normal but then goes in to transmit mode and everything stops. I get an error indicating that "An error has occurred - Radio did not respond". I'm hoping someone can suggest some things to look at to further troubleshoot this! Thanks Dan Grant

Jim explained that the RT22 driver behaves differently from most, in that it appends the model used to download to the end of the image for detection reasons, and this broke that. related to bug #4551

Related to #4585 [Mathias Weyland <lt-betrieb(a)hb9uf.ch>] Alinco DJ-G7: Try slower baud rate if default rate fails (#4355) Alinco support is suggesting to use lower baud rates if the programming software fails to communicate with the radio reliably. This patch alters the code for the Alinco DJ-G7 radio such that if falls back to 19200 baud if the default of 57600 baud does not work. The user must set his radio to 19200 baud for this mechanism to kick in. Dialog boxes were added accordingly using the chirp_common.RadioPrompts() feature. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Images for #2107 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [New Model] TDXone TD-Q8A This patch adds support for the TDXone TD-Q8A radio. #2107 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Images for #4269 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [KT7900D] Add Support for QYT KT7900D and KT8900D Mobile Radios This patch modifies the btech.py driver to prepare it to support a new series of mobile radios that have an OLED color display.
