What driver did you use for the cables? Try the ones here: http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php

I'm using the prolific drivers in the Linux kernel. The serial device info is below:

Like I said, the radio's xmit light comes on for a second, but then chirp throws the error I posted in my previous message. I don't think it's a hub power issue as I've tried it in all the ports available, and it isn't throwing errors in dmesg. I'm due for a kernel upgrade but haven't dedicated time to that, yet...

Be well, Scott

Hey, all.

I picked up a UV-B5 and am unable to program it with chirp. The console output is as follows:

%chirpw

ERROR: -- Exception: -- ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 238, in run self.__radio.sync_in() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/drivers/uvb5.py", line 315, in sync_in self._mmap = do_download(self) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/drivers/uvb5.py", line 202, in do_download do_ident(radio) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/drivers/uvb5.py", line 181, in do_ident raise errors.RadioError("Radio did not ack programming mode") RadioError: Radio did not ack programming mode

ERROR: ---------------- ERROR: Clone failed: Radio did not ack programming mode ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: Radio did not ack programming mode --- ERROR: None

ERROR: ----------------------------

I've tried two different cables to no avail, and yes I had them seated. Not a windows environment so I don't think the IP hindrance is the issue. The radio's xmit light comes on but it seams to not be able to communicate with chirp.

How can I provide more information to be helpful?

Thanks in advance.

Be well, Scott

Also, props to all the dev's and users whom have helped make chirp what it is!

Scott,

Leave the programming cable unplugged from the radio and attempt a download. You will get the same error. This is most likely a cable problem or cable/radio connection problem.

Thats actually what I was afraid of. I sourced two cables to try and rule it out. I was hoping it was a frimware issue... For the price I'm sure there are more than a few lemons out there.

Thanks for everyones time.

Be well, Scott
