Hello to all. I just purchased the Wouxun KG-UV8D. The programming software that came with it is so very basic. A few friends of mine recommended CHIRP. So I downloaded it. It’s much better to program with. When I went to upload the data to the radio, that function was unavailable (greyed out). I can download from the radio, just no upload. I tried CHIRP on my Kenwood TH-F6A and it worked fine.
Any idea what may be causing this problem or when CHIRP will support the Wouxun KG series?
Thank you
CHIRP works with a lot of radios. No matter which one, you have to download from the radio first so CHIRP knows which radio you are dealing with. You will see the radio Vendor/Model in the tab. Your tab likely says "Generic CSV" and cannot be uploaded to any radio. Save a copy of your downloaded tab "just in case". Then edit it as needed and upload it to your radio.
You can still copy-and-paste the work you did on you generic tab to your KG-UV8D tab. It will probably need some settings tweaked, though.
