Jim Unroe, Just saw your response below to the UV-9 programming issue. I do not have nor can locate the factory software or programming cable. I was hoping someone had a same radio and figured out the Chirp combination to program. 73, William ________________________________ From: chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> on behalf of chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2019 2:00 PM To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Subject: chirp_users Digest, Vol 127, Issue 10 Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com You can reach the person managing the list at chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..."

They have Baofeng UV-9, not 9R, but UV-9. There are no manufacture labels except in the battery compartment. It appears to be a UV-5R variant as it incorporates the Kenwood standard 2-pin plug and a 5R spkr-mic works with the radio. I'm using the same cable that I use with my 5R but the radio fails to respond to Chirp no matter what radio model I use in the Baofeng and BTECH listings. Is there a preferred for this radio. By the way, it doesn't show a firmware version on power-up. 73, William

Nick: I have been following this thread, because, like you, I have one of these Baofeng A58 S radios. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find ANY software that will let me read or write to the radio. What success have you had? If you found a version of the OEM software that will let you work with this HT, where did you find it? Thanks.

by Brendon Cannon 19 Sep '19

19 Sep '19

Hi all, I am a little out of my depth with my Chirp connection to my Yaesu FT7800 on my MacBook (OS 10.14)....('had no issues earlier with a Win 7 machine and this cable). Chirp is returning "could not open port /dev/cu.monic-SerialPortService: [Errno 16] Resource busy: '/dev/cu.monic-SerialPortService'" Mac OS Sys info returns: *USB-Serial Controller:* Product ID: 0x2303 Vendor ID: 0x067b (Prolific Technology, Inc.) Version: 3.00 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc. Location ID: 0x14200000 / 7 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 100 Extra Operating Current (mA): 0 Hopefully a Mac expert can point me in the right direction to debug?? Thanks in anticipation and thanks for considering my issue! 73, Brendon (VK4MHZ)

[chirp_users] Fwd: Leixen VV--892S
by Dave C 18 Sep '19

I just received the above radio and am having a bit of trouble with the way CHIRP (or the radio) is handling the channels after programming. The radio seems to work fine, the programming cable connected right away without any driver drama, and the factory software even loaded up and will upload and download to and from the radio, but it's otherwise mostly useless**. Chirp seems to work fine as well as far as reading and writing to the radio, and I was able to import UV-5R files without any problem. The problem I'm having is the order of the channels is scrambled when uploading or downloading. I THINK it has something to do with the separate A and B memory banks. I made sure I selected the "A" bank on the Settings screen, but it still seems to scramble the channels. Earlier today I manually entered twelve local repeaters and numbered them channels 1 through 12, all in Bank A, but when I downloaded the radio to CHIRP, the #1 channel was now #4. I also deliberately didn't give any of the manually entered channels names, but there were channels with names scattered in with the other unnamed channels, apparently from Bank B. If anyone has any ideas I'd like to hear them. ** The factory software has two separate screens for Bank A and B, and seems to work fine moving files to and from the radio. The problem is I can't see any way to enter repeater offset frequencies or -/+ values; if anyone has made the factory software work please let me know. thanks Dave

I have a Baofeng UV-82 and I need to download programming data from this radio. I have the correct cable and the radio is fully operational but when I try to read the radio data all I get is garbage. I know CHIRP works so I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone help me?
