Check back though the messages for the last 2 or 3 days. Someone described
how they setup their Win 8 computer. I believe this is it.
Is there a programming fix for the Baofeng UV-5RA transceiver with
firmware BFB297? I ordered the programming cable and cd from amazon.com,
but was sent the cd for the UV-5R transceiver which does not work (I
guess). I have windows 8 so I really could not try this cd for obvious
reasons. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Don, KB3ZUF

Hi Tom,
I an in Windows mode right now, and I did download the FTDI-FT-Device: 0
Now what? I feel so dumb, but I have no idea what to do. I am sorry to
all
of you for asking what must be simple stuff.
I don't remember exactly what it looks like, but in FT_Prog, select
the Vendor ID and reset to default, then select the Product ID and
reset to defaults. Note that this will make the cable incompatible
with RT Systems software. You can, however, reverse the process by
typing the original Vendor and Product IDs back into FT_Prog.

Not quite my experience. Note I'm the author of the second link
below, under "Modify OS X driver". That's what I _ENDED UP_ doing,
because it amused me, and there were some small benefits, as that
post explains.
However, go back to earlier in that same thread, here:
http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_users/2012-September/002585.

You can get this working in a turnkey manner by loading the Mac
driver that RT systems provides. And BTW, I don't know where you
got your RT Systems cable, but it likely comes with a CD with the
Windows driver you need.
In the middle of that post is the link you want for the Mac driver:
http://www.rtsystemsinc.com/kb_results.asp?ID=9
and if you search around on that same support site, I think
you'll find the windows drivers. Here:
http://www.rtsystemsinc.com/kb_results.asp?ID=15
If you want more details, please read those two posts, and maybe
some more of that same thread.

Hello Dan :)
The cable is CT29B Radio Cable:
CT29B Radio Cable:
Product ID: 0x9e54
Vendor ID: 0x2100
Version: 6.00
Serial Number: RTWA39NN
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: RT Systems
Location ID: 0xfa123000 / 8
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 90
RT Systems cables are designed to work *only* with RT Systems
software. There are two options for getting this cable to work with
any other programming software: modify your OS X driver, or modify
your cable. I modified my cable (this is a firmware mod, no soldering
required).
Modify the cable's FTDI firmware:

This makes it sound easy but it wasn't at all.
The program failing to start has noting to do with the cable or the radio.
It has to do with the fact that Chirp requires SP3 and Windows XP is not
something
that upgrades easily to SP3 from SP1 or SP2. If you don't believe me, read
the hundreds of
horror stories all over the web. If it was just me that would be one
thing. In the case of my
laptop, Chirp would not start at all, so I know it hasn't checked what
radio, drivers or cable is
connected.
