Mike,

I Eventually got Chirp with the Baofeng A58 configuration to read the radio. I also found some older Chinese Windows A58 software that worked. There were other issues with the radio such as low TX power so I returned to to the Ebay seller for a refund and I haven't been brave enough to try one of the other cheap triple band sets yet.

73 Nick.

Nick:

I have been following this thread, because, like you, I have one of these Baofeng A58 S radios.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to find ANY software that will let me read or write to the radio.

What success have you had? If you found a version of the OEM software that will let you work with this HT, where did you find it?

Thanks. Mike, WB4TTZ

Thanks for all your help Jim,  I think next step is to try writing to the radio then and see if I can break it. If I do, it's not a great financial loss.

I also discovered that the you guys managed to include the KG-UV9Dplus in recent builds which is great news and it means that I don't need to have the Wouxun software installed any longer. This project never ceases to amaze me!

73, Nick.
