Well according to the VERY Limited documentation the USB is charging and Frequency Download. I also tried them with other FRS radios, and not transmitting on FRS. I will get out the scanner and check with that. I don't see it showing up as a port on windows or a TTY device on linux when I plug it in. Probably just going back to Amazon. --- ======================= Chas.

Re: [chirp_users] Retevis RT22

I had both these problems in the past. The first time, I came here for advice, and following it, I found that the plug into the radio was not really all the way in, despite my pushing with what I thought was the right amount of force. So I got in a habit of pushing until I felt it fully seated. The next time it happened...different radio and different cable...I found that I had to remove a slight amount of material from the plug so that it would go in all the way. I think I used a nail file to remove small amounts until it fit.

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-82 issues.
by Kenneth G. Gordon 20 Oct '21

A good friend just bought 2 ea of the subject radios and finds that both the FRS and GMRS transmit functions are "locked out". He can receive, but not transmit. Is there an easy way to fix this? I have not yet investigated this on the web, but thought I might ask here first. Ken W7EKB

[chirp_users] Uv5r’s went tx after chirp config
by brandon barry 14 Oct '21

I have 3 uv5r radios Ive configured the way I’d like them, and ordered 4 more to do the same. The original 3 are in perfect Working order. When ever I try to clone the new 4 they do nothing when I try to transmit . The channels all take after cloning but I can’t use the radio. Function restores after a factory reset. Radios were purchased from the same vendor, and my new cable was purchased from the same vendor as well . first one was flawless but misplaced. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone

Is Chirpc not included in the Windows package any longer? I have seen a few references to it online and in the GIT repository, but do not find it in the downloaded installation directory. Thanks, Eric
