[chirp_users] UV5X Programming issue
UV5XP.... However to get CHIRP to see the radio either in the 'Download from radio' or 'Upload to radio' ... with the cable plugged in to my PC or my MAC, the radio must me switched OFF...then as I select 'Download or upload' as I select 'OK' i must immediately switch ON my radio then CHIRP sees it and proceeds. If I try to 'Download or upload' with the radio already switched on I get the message 'The radio did not respond' as CHIRP cannot see it connected. Any suggestions? Thanks VE7ECJ
Doesn't have to be switched off when you connect it. Mine never are.

That sounds like a programming cable/driver issue. Also, to program that radio you must choose...
Vendor: Radioddity Model: UV-5G

Radio should be ON when up or downloading. Remove the driver and cable program, reboot PC reload driver SHOULD correct issue. If using aftermarket cable check to see contacts are CLEAN (*shiny) and fit TIGHTLY into the mike provisioning adapter (Mic jack) DO NOT touch ANY buttons while programming. Worst case, prior to programming RESET the radio to factory resets then load your amended program.
