Hey Jim,
Thanks for the help. I loaded the file you attached, per your instructions. Same result/error.
When I click ‘File’ and then ‘Load Module’ and browse to the baofeng_common.py file there’s no message/confirmation upon opening the file. Just goes back to the blank Chirp screen. I assume that’s normal behavior.
Yes. This is normal.
Not sure what kind of file baofeng_common.py is (some sort of diagnostic?), but would the fact that my UV-5X3 is listed under ‘Btech’ rather than ‘Baofeng’ make any difference? i.e. is there a ‘btech_common.py' file?
The boafeng_common.py is used by the uv5x3.py driver for the download/upload support.
Thanks again.
Jeff
If your programming cable has an FTDI chip, are you running the latest driver from ftdichips.com? If your programming cable has a Prolific type chip, are you running one of the generic device drivers?
