[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-82

Have both Baofeng UV-82 and UV-82X. Chirp unable to connect to either. Older driver, 3.2.0. installed. and shows up as working in the device manager. When trying to read from the handhelds I get error message "Could not open port Com 3. [Error 2]. The system cannot find the file specified."

Interestingly, the Baofeng supplied software, UV-82 Series Program Software (VIP version), can connect via Com 3, though it usually takes multiple attempts (repetitive communication failures) and will read and write the memories but will not allow me to save any data.

Any hints as how to get Chirp to work would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
