Is there a programming fix for the Baofeng UV-5RA transceiver with firmware BFB297? I ordered the programming cable and cd from amazon.com, but was sent the cd for the UV-5R transceiver which does not work (I guess). I have windows 8 so I really could not try this cd for obvious reasons. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

I don't remember exactly what it looks like, but in FT_Prog, select
the Vendor ID and reset to default, then select the Product ID and
reset to defaults. Note that this will make the cable incompatible
with RT Systems software. You can, however, reverse the process by
typing the original Vendor and Product IDs back into FT_Prog.

Not quite my experience. Note I'm the author of the second link
below, under "Modify OS X driver". That's what I _ENDED UP_ doing,
because it amused me, and there were some small benefits, as that
post explains.

However, go back to earlier in that same thread, here:
http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_users/2012-September/002585.html

You can get this working in a turnkey manner by loading the Mac
driver that RT systems provides. And BTW, I don't know where you
got your RT Systems cable, but it likely comes with a CD with the
Windows driver you need.

In the middle of that post is the link you want for the Mac driver:
http://www.rtsystemsinc.com/kb_results.asp?ID=9
and if you search around on that same support site, I think
you'll find the windows drivers. Here:
http://www.rtsystemsinc.com/kb_results.asp?ID=15

If you want more details, please read those two posts, and maybe
some more of that same thread.

This makes it sound easy but it wasn't at all.

The program failing to start has noting to do with the cable or the radio.

It has to do with the fact that Chirp requires SP3 and Windows XP is not something
that upgrades easily to SP3 from SP1 or SP2. If you don't believe me, read the hundreds of
horror stories all over the web. If it was just me that would be one thing. In the case of my
laptop, Chirp would not start at all, so I know it hasn't checked what radio, drivers or cable is
connected.

I've found that you have to run it as administrator to work. It will not
show menus until it can access the serial i/o.

P.S. It doesn't work at all with my Yeasu radios under 32 bit Win 7. It
does work on the same computer with the live CD.

Okay.

First thank you all so very much trying to help me
CHIRP now has " /dev/cu.usbserial-RTWA39NN " in the pull down menu.
I picked both the 7800 and the 8900 to test to see if one of them would work.

This is what it said to be on both tries:
Failed to communicate with radio: Failed to read header (0)

??.. :(
