I'm unable to program my Baofeng UV-9 plus radio as well.  I've been on you tube and searched the internet for instructions but have had no luck finding something that works.  I have a Baofeng cable as well and have downloaded the Chirp software.  I don't know how to tell if you are in the right port but it doesn't seem like any of them are working.

If anyone has any easy to understand instructions on how to program this radio please send them to me. 

Thanks,

Thanks Dean. My radio (Baofeng UV-9r Plus wasn't listed on Mikor.com. Good idea though and I appreciate your response.

Paul, Sometimes you have to select a different Baofeng radio and it'll work. Are you first trying to "Download" from the radio? That has to be the first thing you do because Chirp needs to know how to handle the radio you have connected. Dean

The UV-9R is basically a UV-82 in a different case and only a single PTT button.

Paul,

If you are running Windows, use the Device Manager application to determine exactly which port is assigned to your programming cable.

You should be able to plug in your programming cable and see the port assignment appear under "Ports (COM & LPT)". This is also where you would determine which chip is in the programming cable and the version of the driver is installed.

Jim,

I'm not getting an error message at all. I don't think the computer is recognizing the radio.

Thanks for your response.

Jeremiah,

What is the error message, or better yet, attach the CHIRP debug.log file.

Thanks Jim,

I'm not very good with computers and was unable to complete sending the debug file. I think I'll knock off for the day and regroup. Maybe try again tomorrow.

Thanks again for your help.,

Paul

Paul,

If you tried to download from your radio and forgot to plug the cable into your radio, you would get an error.

So just close CHIRP (to close the debug.log file), open CHIRP (to start a new debug.log file), attempt a download, and finally close CHIRP.

Now attach the debug.log file.

How to locate the debug.log file for all supported operating systems is in the CHIRP Documentation area. Here is a direct link to the page you need.

Hi Jim,

Sorry to bother you again.

I have come to the conclusion that I may have a defective cable or the cable is not seating enough to make sufficient contact. I hit the "download from radio" and absolutely nothing happens. The radio is on and the cable is tightly secured (as much as possible). The screen remains blank and I don't get a box to enter any other information. This radio (UV 9R Plus) has a unique cable that differs from other Baofengs.

I'm about ready to send the radio and cable back and buy a different radio. I picked this one because it is waterproof.

You have been very kind with your suggestions.

Thanks again, Paul

Paul,

If you choose "Download From Radio" and don't get a "Radio" dialog box that allows you to choose the Port, Vendor and Model, then you have a problem with your CHIRP installation. I would uninstall CHIRP, reboot for good measure, and then install CHIRP again. If you are running Windows, I would right-click the CHIRP installer file and then choose "Run as administrator" even if the Windows user is already an administrator.

And this isn't CHIRP related, but none of the so-called "waterproof" Baofeng radio models are waterproof. At best they can be described as water resistant.

Jim

Thanks guys! I deleted the Chirp app, rebooted, and reinstalled the app. I now have the dialog box and will attempt to program a few things.

You guys are great! Thank you for your help! I was getting pretty frustrated.

Paul
