Sarge,

Most communications issues between the radio and computer is the USB cord drivers. If you have the FTDI chip branded cord it should be a plug and play, as windows installs the drivers and most time it installs a correct driver for that. Now if you are using a off brand or most times counterfeit prolific chipped cord, with that I reccommend to reinstall the prolific 3.2.0.0 driver. Here is detailed instructions from the great site miklor.com site for windows and mac.    http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php

Also it is recommended once you have the correct driver installed, is to use the same usb port each time. The driver will not follow the cord if you bounce around usb ports. Hope this helps. let me know your results.

New Troop here. I am very glad there is a Chirp.

 This UV5R is driving me up the walls. It took me awhile to get it programming with but then started working good. Then later it refused to program as it was working. I think it had something to do with shutting down my pc. Worked hard with many different trys and finally got programming working again seeminglt by deleting then reinstalling Chirp. Now programming has stopped working again. Says radio will not respond. So,deleted Chirp and reinstalled. That didnt work this time.

  Any advice much appreciated!

   Thanks in advance,
