Hi All
I have had Chirp for quite a few years but don’t let that fool you, I know nothing about it. I purchased two Baofeng UV-5R+Plus radios a while ago and a friend used Chirp to clone his radio and then to set my two up. I have used it a few times as I have recommended the Baofeng radios to others and then I have used Chirp to clone mine and set theirs up. I am not sure what has happened but I have updated to a Toshiba laptop, I’ve just updated that to Windows 10, and I downloaded the latest Chirp today. It’s been a while since I last used Chirp and a friend has just purchased two Baofeng UV-5RTP radios and asked me to set them up. When I opened Chirp I opened my radio image file and connected the new radio. I get a COM 5 port error and that’s it. I tried hooking my radio up but get the same error. Not sure whether it’s relevant but I used the same original data cable as I did for my, and others, radios. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Mick.
