Hi,

I bought Baofeng BF-V9 (which should be updated version of BF-888s), and I am trying to program it with Chirp (under Linux).

Unfortunately, I cannot select correct model from Chirp menu. I tried some other models, but Chirp cannot read from radio.

Any help?

Regards,

Matej

Hi Matej,

If the BF-V9 is truly like the BF-888s, then you should try the BF-888 model selection to download from your radio. If it does not download, post the exact error message, or better yet attach the debug.log file.
