I got mine working finally. I had to go back to http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/ and install the other driver. The cable that came with my UV-5R has the wrong driver. Once I got that done, Chirp works just fine. KD0WEH

Yep, the driver issue is probably the biggest gotcha with these radios. Install the right driver, and all is fine. In my case, the driver installation for the UV-5R had a bonus side effect, it also enabled another USB-serial cable which I had kicking around to work (I'm not even sure where that cable came from!). :)
