Thanks John
I have seen that as well. For the one that I get a Chinese Character set, I have been able to change to English. The one program I think that can do it has Zero characters on it (english or chinese) and everything is replaced by a ???.
Again, I apologize for taking up the space on the Chirp reflector.
The best I can tell is that the actual program is called BF-480 based on what I found on 409Shoppe's site.
I know the port and the cable work as I can use the same cable and same port (FTDI) to read my UV-5R with Chirp. I also know they aren't holding open the port as I do close down Chirp before testing. I have even tried after a reboot with the BF-480 software being the first code used.
My note to self will be to check the Chirp support hardware list first before ordering new hardware! :)

Mike, Not sure if this applies or not, but with some of the software, when it is unzipped, one of the files is a language file, ie. Chinese.ini, English.ini, etc.
Delete the Chinese.ini file and only leave the English.ini This forces the program to open with the only .ini file it finds.
Worth a try...

Hi Bill
That is likely the answer, but no joy their either. I have yet to find a button for language changes or anything else that gets me closer.
Thanks all, this was just a shot in the dark.

You have to switch it to English by selecting English on the radio buttons. Then the question marks will disappear eh?
I hope I understand your issues, if not good luck!

Jack and I are seeing the same thing. We don't have the right software for the right radio.
I know 100% in my case that the computer, ports and cable are functional.
Boafeng own software has language localization issues. The software loads but all the icons are full of question marks. .???
The failure is that the program tries to talk to the radio and the radio does not respond, so it times out.
Sorry for the bandwidth on the chirp reflector, but this was the best collection of these type of users I know.
Sadly there is no BF-v6 listed on their download site.

Is the programming of the UV-6 software or a driver/cable issue.
What error messages are you getting?

I have a UV-6, also cannot get it to program with the Baofeng software.
Has anyone successfully programmed the UV-6?
Thanks,
Jack

Yes, it isn't a port issue.

Hi All
I know that this is a little off topic and this radio isn't supported by Chirp, but has anyone actually been able to program one?
This is a 16 Channel VHF only unit.
I've tried just about all the software from Baofeng that I can find, but I have not found anything that will talk to the radio.
I am 'assuming' it is using a Kenwood cable configuration as well.
