If you cannot connect with the factory software, it may be a driver issue. This may assist with the driver issue. http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-Drivers.html Let us know if the problem persists.

I am new to this list, so please forgive me for asking the obvious question. I have checked the FAQ and did not find my answer. I recently purchased two Baofeng UV-5R, firmware BFB291. I am unable to program these radio with Chirp software. Any idea when update for Chirp will handle this new firmware? I tried using factory software and getting communication errors. I would prefer using Chirp.

Any suggestions?
