Don,
I would recommend reviewing http://www.miklor.com
Several of us have had problems with the included CD.
Review specifically the section on drivers.
There are links to Prolific Windows driver 3.2.0.0
This driver is compatible with all programming cables and Windows 7 and 8.
Do not load any driver newer than 3.2.0.0
Once loaded, you should be able to load CHIRP with absolutely no issues.

I have the Baofeng UV-5RA transceiver with firmware BFB297. I have the programming cable, but the cd is for other than Windows 8. If there is anyone who owns this radio that have been able to program it using windows 8?
Thank you,
Don, KB3ZUF

I downloaded the latest daily build. Still trying to get it out of my computer. I shows as 10M, something really bad happened to it. I can't even send it to trash and I certainly am not going to run it.

It does not offset when I key and no repeater comes back. If I set the radio to a repeater it does not show both - and + lit and works fine and the repeater comes back. Sorry. I am very confused as to how a radio that is not working is normal and expected behavior. Thanks again for any help.
