Hi, I am trying to program my BF-F8HP. In using CHIRP I get to Download from the radio. When I try to do this I can't find any commport number that works. Please help! Thanks, David
Hi David, I am working on the same radio selection, only mine is the BF9. But you will need to select USB0. That is the last option in the port list. It should be the first I think. Anyway, now I need to look in my saved messages for how to allow permissions for USB0. If you get that message, there is a CLI fix for that.

Before a communication port can be detected, there must be a complete and working connection between the radio and computer. You didn't say which operating system you are using so I will assume Windows.
With Windows, you should be able to access Device Manager to determine exactly which COM port was assigned to your programming cable.
Do you have the Baofeng Tech PC03 programming cable with FTDI chip? If not, then your programming cable most likely has a counterfeit copy of a Prolific chip. The device driver that is automatically installed when a Prolific chip is detected is intentionally incompatible with counterfeit Prolific chips.

As Jim mentioned, The driver for the counterfeit trip, the one you need is Prolific 3.2.0.0
