Hi Everyone:
Just wondering if anyone has encountered a problem when trying to have Chirp recognize the Baofeng UV-5R (high power version) 7 watts handheld?
I purchased one of these 2 days ago and have not been able to get Chirp to recognize it. It keeps saying that I have “Chosen the wrong model number” from the list of radios that the software recognizes. BUT I have been using the UV-5R setting??
The firmware version from the transceiver is BFP3-25.
I have downloaded the latest daily version of Chirp chirp-daily-20151009-installer.exe
and still have the same problem.
If anyone has any ideas, it would be appreciated.
Best regards:

Radios with 3 power levels require the BF-F8HP selection. Look on the CHIRP home/wiki page under BF-F8HP and you will see UV-5RTP (the TP is for Tri-Power)
