I tired VFO mode with a freshly charged battery right out of the charger.  The  UV-5RA brought up the repeater for 5 or ten seconds and then died. It sounds like it is the battery or the radio, not the interface to CHIRP. sigh. thanks   John

John,

This doesn't sound like a CHIRP issue. What happens when you try to transmit on the same frequency in the VFO?

I programmed my UV-5RA using a Macintosh (running Mavericks, OS X (10.9.5), an FDTI cable from Amazon, and Chirp 0.4.1 but I cannot transmit. I can reach the local repeater, but if I transmit for more than a fraction of a second the radio's screen goes black, and I have to turn it off and on again to do anything. The battery is fully charged, and I have tried with three different antennas -- same result. Help !

thanks

Tony, You say your screen goes Black. If you have a UV5R series with the inverted Black/White display, check the setting for MENU 31. If you have it set to OFF, your display will go dark.

The CHIRP setting would be: Settings / Basic Settings / TX LED Color It may be set to OFF.
