Thank you for reading this.
I bought a Baofeng UV-82HP about four months ago and I cannot get Chirp to read from the radio, or in fact to do anything with the radio.
I'm running Chirp under Kubuntu and have tried every Chip daily version over the past four months. This is the error message that I receive when I attempt to read from the radio:
"Radio did not respond"
These are the entered parameters:
/dev/ttyUSB0 Baofeng UV-82HP
I have read and write access to the serial port which is the same port that I use for several application including programming an Arduino board. I have tried several different Baofeng models, just in case, with the same result.
I've trimmed the plastic from the plug so that it slips into the radio's sockets more easily. I've attempted to read from the radio in both channel and frequency modes. Finally, I've searched the Internet for even the slightest clue but to no avail.
I do not know anyone who owns a Baofeng radio or who uses Chirp. So this mailing list is my last hope.
Any clues at all will greatly appreciated.
