Jim, Check your error messages against those in http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-ErrorMess.php Let us know specifically which error message you have and we can go from there. If it's a driver problem, refer to the MAC driver section of this group.
It has been found that some jacks on the case have been misaligned and the side of the cables need to be trimmed to get past the edge. Let us know if any of the helps.

I'm running Chirp on OS 10.8.4, trying to program a bunch of radios (Baofeng UV-5R) for our Civil Defense volunteer CERT communicator groups.
I am aware that there are some issues with certain cables. So far, I purchased two cables (from different vendors), most recently Wouxum-US.
In all cases, I am unable to connect to any of the radios using CHIRP (Mac) or the Windows (XP) with the Baofeng code.
I've used the drivers with both that came from the Wouxum site.
In both Mac and Windows, the software comes up and presents itself. When I attempt to read the radio, after a pause, I get a failed to connect message.
Can you give me direction as to how best to fix this? _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users
