Hey, all.
I picked up a UV-B5 and am unable to program it with chirp. The console output is as follows:
%chirpw
ERROR: -- Exception: -- ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 238, in run self.__radio.sync_in() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/drivers/uvb5.py", line 315, in sync_in self._mmap = do_download(self) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/drivers/uvb5.py", line 202, in do_download do_ident(radio) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/drivers/uvb5.py", line 181, in do_ident raise errors.RadioError("Radio did not ack programming mode") RadioError: Radio did not ack programming mode

I've tried two different cables to no avail, and yes I had them seated. Not a windows environment so I don't think the IP hindrance is the issue. The radio's xmit light comes on but it seams to not be able to communicate with chirp.
How can I provide more information to be helpful?
Thanks in advance.
Be well, Scott
Also, props to all the dev's and users whom have helped make chirp what it is!
Scott,
Leave the programming cable unplugged from the radio and attempt a download. You will get the same error. This is most likely a cable problem or cable/radio connection problem.
