[chirp_users] Baofeng CT-3 programs as ur5 SOMETIMES
Yes, if you have a Baofeng CT-3, you can program it as a ur5 IF you are using the older prolific driver.
I use cables with the FTDI chip and drivers as my main programming cables. These do not work on the CT-3. Work great on 6 various ur5 models I have with no problems at all. The CT-3 will go into error saying the radio did not respond. Must be a timing issue I would guess.

The GT-3 and UV5R use the same programming cable.
Is it possible the error could be one of the following described at:

I assume that you meant GT-3.
Interesting. We usually recommend FTDI based programing cables to avoid issues like this.
Please tell us which driver version does not work and which driver version does.

I use 3 PL2303 cables in Windows 7. One for Baofeng F-11, Wouxun KG-UV6D/UV6Dv2, one for Anytone AT-5888UV, and one cable that was an extra for Anytone. I skinned the cable back to expose the white and black wires. Soldered on a mini 6 pin DIN cable with two wires leading to pins 2 and 6 for my Yaesu FT8900. So that PL2303 will work on Anytone and Yaesu models with a 6 pin mini DIN data jack. Next I will ad a third radio plug to that cable and it will work with my two Yaesu hand helds that use a 3.5mm plug. I'm not sure if they combine send and receive though but if they do, that cable will also terminate into a 3.5mm plug. I can also buy cable components from a friend who has the parts. He's etched the prototype pc boardthen sent it off to a small company that replicated 50 units. All it is then is to populate the board with either FTDI or Prolific, a few other components and enclose the board in heat shrink tubing after the cords are attached. This USB to serial really is amateurish at best.
