Hi list
I have a Boafeng BF-F8+ und a UV-B5. The latter can't be programmed with chirp. It gives me the error "radio did not ack programming mode". The BF-F8+ works with the same cable on the same computer. The UV-B5 works with the Baofeng SW.
So I read that the UV-B5 seems to "change identity" according to the menu settings. But I cannot get it running. (tried to set everything to frequency mode) Tried to reset the UV-B5. Changing compander is not possible, as this option was removed from my UV-B5 firmware ...
Tried to download the beta from the list welcome message, but only get a 404: http://chirp.danplanet.com/download/beta/
Tried with the last stable Chirp and with a daily from early february.
Would it be possible to either try to remotely debug what my UV-B5 is sending and include it into chitp or maybe give an option to ignore the return value from the handset if UV-B5 is chosen?
I am quit sure the actual communication would work, if Chirp would not give up on the unknown ACK signal from the handset.
I would be very glad if I could use chirp to import the BF-F8+ settings into my UV-B5.
I hope that we can work this out together!
CU, Ricsi
