[chirp_users] "radio did not respond"
Hello all,
I received a list error message that my post to the list was denied so I am posting it again. I apologize if it got posted twice.
I just purchased a BaoFeng BF-F8HP and am trying to program it with Chirp. I followed the instructions and a pop up said "cloning" Then an error message popped up that said "radio did not respond." What am I doing wrong here? I am using the BaoFengTech FTDI cable on a windows 10 platform.
TIA for any advice.
Paul

Hi Paul,
The most likely cause would be that the 2-pin plug of the programming cable is not fully inserted into the socket of the radio.
Other causes would be... - the wrong serial port was selected - a device driver issue (although very rare for FTDI based programming cables) - a defective programming cable

Paul, Remove and reinsert the connector on the F8-hp. I recently purchased the unit and I found the connector to be too snug to go all the way in at first. It becomes easier to work with in time. Bill N4DHP
