[chirp_users] Programming of Baofeng UV-5RA transceiver
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,

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. html
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: http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_users/2013-January/002988.

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.
