[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-83 com port issue
by donotspamme＠windstream.net 24 May '16

24 May '16

CHIRP was working until today's software upgrade. I uninstalled and reinstalled once I could not clear the error. When attempting to "Upload from radio" the pop-up box appears correctly confirming COM port, vendor and model. After selecting OK, Then "error #2" pops up "could not open port COM3. The system cannot find the file requested." Windows 10 - Device Mgr tells me that COM3 is set for the Prolific USB-to-Serial. Under General, "This device cannot start (Code 10). A device which does not exist was specified. Prolific driver is 9/4/2015, version 3.6.81.357 Events: Any simple fix???

[chirp_users] Luiton LT-588UV
by Jack Schlachter 23 May '16

23 May '16

Hi - Thanks for letting me join the group. The reason I joined is because I bought this radio for a good price after reading some good reviews on Amazon. There's not much else on the internet about this radio. I've downloaded all the softwares available with proper drivers. I've followed the help files on your site plus the ones on Luitons' site. Always I get the same result " Can't connect to the port or radio". I point the software at the right port. I show the ver. 3.2.0.0 dated 7/3/2007 and "this device is working properly". I can't even begin to enter frequencies and codes manually because I can't decipher the Chiglish. Could you please help me and try to get this radio working? Thank you, Jack

I have the same radio. My problem was corrected by trimming the rubber out of the "casual corner" and making it a sharp corner. Then you can hear the connectors snap true. No problems after that.

[chirp_users] RT Systems cable and Chirp on OS X
by Bob Nielsen 21 May '16

21 May '16

I bought this cable because it fit the radio and was cheaper than the Icom cable. It works with chirp in Windows 8, no problem. I downloaded the OS X drivers from the RT Systems website and the Mac recognizes the cable (which appears to have a custom chip) but when I try to open the serial port in chirp it only shows a couple of internal connections but not the cable nor my IC-31A. The Has anyone been able to get a RT Systems cable to work in OS X? Bob, N7XY

[chirp_users] Problem with reprogramming Wouxun KG-UVD1P
by Shon Edwards 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hello all, Maybe this has been talked about recently, but can't find a post. I programmed my Wouxun KG-UVD1P (1.25M/2M ver.) a couple of years ago and have tried to use a newer version of CHIRP to update it. When that didn't work, I used a 3.1 version, got the same error (com port error), but not sure why it wouldn't take. Could anyone please help? Let me know of any other info you need. Thx, Shon, K6QT Shon R.
