Sent from Tom's iPhoneAs I was just getting restarted into Amateur Radio after 40 years, i decided to purchase a Baofeng UV-5 on Amazon. However, thinking I would be doing better by getting a newer model, I purchased a Pofung UV-6R. Nice little radio for 2M/70cm. However, it had one of the worst manuals I have seen; no explanations of specific items in the menus nor explanations of adjustments.I ordered an adapter cable and downloaded Chirp figuring I could do most of my adjustments in memory via software. I used the forums and read everything I could about the Baofeng. The one thing I kept running across was that several people had to conncet and reconnect the cable to their computer to get Chirp to recognize the radio. Okay, that was something to remember.I received my OEM cable in the mail and tried to use it. My computer would not recognize the radio. Was it Chirp or was it the cable? I did some research about the cable and learned that occasionally an error was made in manufacturing when soldering the usb modal. The receive and transmit wires were soldered backwards.A fairly quick solution was to open the usb connector and properly resolder the wires. Eureka, its alive. Once I connected the cable back into my computer, Chirp recognized the radio and I was up and running.--jdmeauxMoe K2JDM_______________________________________________
