[chirp_users] programming cable problems
I use the latest version of Chirp downloaded about 10 days ago. It worked well and did all the programming I need for the Beofeng uv5r, (different cable) Btech UV 2501-220. I had a small computer problem and after correcting the computer problem I could program the Btech UV 2501 but the programming cables for the UV5R have a problem. The one that I used over and over now puts my UV5R in a transmit as soon as i plug it into the computer. The other cable gives me an error message that says the Commport (1-8 ) wont work. What do I do. Thanks for any ideas Dave KD0TUN
2 things. 1) roll your cable driver back to 3.2.0.0. 2). Push the cable FIRMLY into the radio.

Yes.. after your computer issue, it is possible it upgraded the driver to the newest, rather than the working driver.

Dave, Refer to FAQ items 1 and 2 at http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_CHIRP.php These are the two most common causes of cable failure. I hope this assists.
