Hello - please help,
I try to use CHIRP to program a new Baofeng BF-F8HP and I receive this warning: "This radio's driver is experimental. Do you want to proceed?" "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!"
I am using this cable: BTECH PC03 FTDI Genuine USB Programming Cable https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUB0ONK/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?... I am programming this radio: BaoFeng BF-F8HP (UV-5R 3rd Gen) 8-Watt Dual Band Two-Way Radio (136-174Mhz VHF & 400-520Mhz UHF) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MAULSOK/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?...
I've used CHIRP before to program 4 UV5R radios with a different cable.
What is wrong?
Nothing.
How can I use CHIRP?
When you see the message, click [Yes]. If you don't want to see the message again, tick the "Do not show this next time" box before clicking [Yes].
Thank you, Gary
