Has anybody gotten the CHIRP software to work on a BaoFeng BF-F8+. It doesn't show up in the BaoFeng dropdown box in the program. I can't get it to "talk" to my radio.

Roger,

Here is a list of all variants of the UV5R series / BF-F8 from the CHIRP page. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Baofeng_UV5R_Variants

If you run into and problems with Cable Drivers, this link may also assist. http://www.miklor.com/UV5R

Note: CHIRP supports over 60 different model transceivers. You must first create a template by performing a Download from Radio. Make your changes and updates to the template, then perform an Upload to Radio.

Hope this helps . . .

Has anybody gotten the CHIRP software to work on a BaoFeng BF-F8+. It doesn't show up in the BaoFeng dropdown box in the program. I can't get it to "talk" to my radio.
