Hi
I picked up a UV-B5 and am unable to program it with chirp.
Yes ... sadly there is an open ticket for this for 4 months ... unfixed as of yet. http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/2293
New UV-B5 software is not recognized by Chirp. There is a one line patch for Linux Chirp floating around that makes it work. Or you can use the Baofeng SW to download the image, rename it, use chirp to edit it, rename it back and use baofeng SW to upload it.
I hope this will be addressed by Chirp soon!
Where is this one line patch?
It only works on Linux, as there the Python code is directly accessible. I was very much hoping that Chirp gets changed to work with the "new" UV-B5.
If you are using Linux I can search for the old message and send it to you.
