Hi Ed, I programmed the UV5R, but I had issues as well. The programming cable I bought wasn't one actually manufactured by Baofeng. As a result, I had a really difficult time getting the correct drivers installed for the USB chipset they used. Have you verified the USB drivers are correct?

I agree. I have purchased over 20 BF-888s and 777 (same radio). Programmed all of them with chirp...They work great.

Did you download the 888 software from Baofeng web site? That's what I

on mine. It has the scramble option and all. Never could get chirp to

with it either.
Someone sent me one of the BF-888S radios that won't program. It programs just fine for me. The only way I can get it to not program was to intentionally install and select an incompatible device driver for the programming cable.
Also, CHIRP supports the scramble option.
