Re: [chirp_users] Unable to read/write Wouxon KG-UV8D

Hi Phil,

What version firmware does the radio have? (Press and hold the 3 key while turning the radio on). Mine (the one I developed the driver on) shows: KGUV8D Sain Sonic Sain Sonic 01000001 UV8DV1.04 20140723

Is there any part of the cable hiding something that's preventing the pins from going all the way in? If so cut the outside of the rubber molded plug so it gets further inside and makes fuller contact. I've heard this worked for some.

This says nothing was returned. Like I mentioned above, either the
2-pin plug is not making a good connection with the radio or the radio
is not recognizing the command to begin cloning. CHIRP can't work with
either condition. If it is the latter, you will have to capture
working factory programming software to find out what the radio is
looking for to begin cloning.
