[chirp_users] com port driver issues with uv-82
Hi, I am hoping someone can help. I have a Baofeng UV5 which I got to work perfect with chirp. I ordered a UV82 and can not get it to communicate to chirp. I have downloaded the latest version of chirp, tried going back to a older com port driver and no success. I am running win8 / 64 bit and using driver version 3.6.78.350 which is supposed to be the latest driver. When I try to download from the new uv82 I keep getting error has occurred, could not open port com3: {error 2} the system can not find the file specified.I have the true baofeng usb cable.My original goal is to clone or export my channels from the uv5 to the new uv82 but without connecting to chirp I am lost. I have spent numerous hours trying to search for a fix to no avail.Please help ! Thanks
Dale, do you have the correct cable for each radio. I have a UV82, my neighbor has a UV5 - the cables for OUR radios work well for our radios but will not work at all with the others radio. g'damn these things can be picky.
Also noticed that there was a driver update come in on Windows update today - we might want to make sure that it works right.

A new windows driver will NEVER work right with a fake Prolific chip. Stay with driver 3.2.0.0.

A "genuine" Baofeng programming cable does not mean you have a "genuine" prolific chip inside. You need to downgrade your driver to v3.2.0.0 and then make sure the 2-pin plug is pushed fully into the radio (it is easy to think it is when it isn't) and make sure you are selecting the correct com port.
The link below has a link to the required driver and instructions for installing and selecting it. http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php
