A friend just bought a new Baofeng BA-F8+ and is having considerable trouble programming
it.

Is there a specific version of Chirp which will do the trick?

According to the wiki: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home

Choose the Baofeng UV-5R as the model.

Always use the most current version, support for radios is never dropped, so there's no reason to run an old version.

Hi Ken,

Any version since early 2012. Just choose the correct Vendor: Baofeng
/ Model: UV-5R along with the correct Port.

Hello, having an issue programing an FT-60.
I can download from the FT-60 fine but when I try to upload to the FT-60 I
receive an immediate error that radio did not respond.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled CHIRP but same result.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I guess I didn't make myself very clear. Sorry about that.

What I meant was that when programming this BF-F8+, I had trouble picking out the correct
radio-type to program it.

I finally tried, from my OWN computer, not his, the choice, BF-F8HP.

It took several tries to get the program to "stick", but I finally succeeded.

I AM using the latest version of chirp, btw.

Thanks,

Ken W7EKB

Ken,

BF-F8HP is the wrong model to choose for a BF-F8+. The BF-F8+ is a
UV-5R like radio with 2 transmit power levels, therefore you should
choose the UV-5R model selection to program it. The BF-F8HP is a UV-5R
like radio with 3 transmit power levels. The BF-F8HP model selection
should only be for radio models with 3 transmit power levels.

Hmmm....that is interesting....

I believe I tried that first, and got a "wrong radio type" error, but I'll give it another try.

In any case, when I used the BF-F8HP, it eventually worked.

What operating system are you using? Windows, Mac, Linux?
I had that problem (or similar) with Linux, I used a friend's laptop to
bypass the problem.

Can you send the error log?
