I have downloaded CHIRP in an attempt to program my 5re +. Can someone tell me how to accomplish this ?? Are there any instructions for programming in the download. Many thanks .....
Yes. Go to the CHIRP website and select the Wiki tab. At the top of the page where it says "To get started:", click on the 'documentation' link of step 2.
On the Documentation page, start by taking a look at the Beginners_Guide (the UV-5R and variants use 'clone' mode) and then take a look at MemoryEditorColumns.
You can also get some help from the Miklor.com CHIRP pages
Most of the time when CHIRP won't work with a UV-5R radio, CHIRP isn't the problem. It is usually an issue with the programming cable and/or a Windows driver issue. The Miklor.com/uv5r/ pages can help you with these kinds of issues.
