First I'd like to say, what an awesome, helpful group, Does anyone have any experience with the BAOFENG UV-5R8W? I Just got one from ABBREE through Amazon. Has anyone had success with any type of software for programing? This is supposedly a three power model. I have tried a few models on CHIRP, the included BAOFENG software and attempted a download from the ABBREE website, all with what I would call negative results. It was a package deal with an included Baofeng cable (Prolific USP) that that Windows 10 said was working. Any help would be appreciated, especially knowing if there is a model I can select on CHIRP that has worked for others. Best Regards, Troy Hunter (Newly licensed)
Hi Troy,
The BF-F8HP is most likely the model to choose. It is used for all of the other UV-5R type radios with 3 power levels. You are most likely going to have to download, install and select the older Prolific device driver.
