I just did an update of my chirp, (hg -v pull -u) Downloaded my tech uv-5x3, no problem on download or re upload. Using a home made cable with an FTDI chip.
make sure the cable is well seated in the radio and the volume is all the way up. Not sure why the volume makes a difference but it does. I suppose we can add then into the instruction window pop-up.

Hey Jim,
Thanks for the help. I loaded the file you attached, per your instructions. Same result/error.
When I click ‘File’ and then ‘Load Module’ and browse to the baofeng_common.py file there’s no message/confirmation upon opening the file. Just goes back to the blank Chirp screen. I assume that’s normal behavior.
Yes. This is normal.
Not sure what kind of file baofeng_common.py is (some sort of diagnostic?), but would the fact that my UV-5X3 is listed under ‘Btech’ rather than ‘Baofeng’ make any difference? i.e. is there a ‘btech_common.py' file?
The boafeng_common.py is used by the uv5x3.py driver for the download/upload support.
Thanks again.
Jeff
If your programming cable has an FTDI chip, are you running the latest driver from ftdichips.com? If your programming cable has a Prolific type chip, are you running one of the generic device drivers?
