I downloaded CHIRP from the Web Site to WD 10 and after the down load was completed there was no sign of a CHIRP shortcut on my desk top.
Went to C: (x86) CHIRP and found shortcut. I dragged the shortcut to Desktop. I clicked on the CHIRP ICON and Chirp loaded.
I then installed the Baofeng USB Programming Cable for Baofeng Two way Radio UV-5R, BF-888S,BF-F8+ With Driver CD to my BF-F8HP Radio.
I attempted to install the Driver CD and found it corrupted.
I thought that my windows 10 had the most up to date USB Driver and I would not need the one that came with the Programing Cable. I may have been wrong and do need a special Driver.
I than plugged the programing Cable in to the USB Port and then the Radio, turned the Radio on, started CHIRP, clicked the Radio Menu, input vendor info, started download.
Message:
Due to the fact that the manufacturer continues to release new versions of the firmware with obscure and hard-to-track changes, this driver may not work with your device. Thus far and to the best knowledge of the author, no UV-5R radios have been harmed by using CHIRP. However, proceed at your own risk!
Typed USB in port assignment box and tried again with the following results.
Do I need a special USB Driver?
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
