[chirp_users] New user, and question on diagnosing new radio
Hello all,
Call me new to everything - brand new ham (VA7TJL), new Chirp user, and have a new radio. I've read docs, but please let me know if the questions are too dumb.
I've picked up a Baofeng DM-5R, V3 as seen here: https://www.fleetwooddp.com/products/pre-order-baofeng-dm-5r-v3-2018-digital...
It shows up as BF-5R on the boot screen, but neither that nor DM-5R are listed as supported. I did see though that there are other Baofeng radios under new and unusual names, that might be supported as a variant of one that is known. If there is a way to tell if this is the case, I'm open to suggestions.
The Windows software from the manufacturer does detect and read the config from the radio, but the USB device (radio with supplied cable) shows up in settings Win 10 settings as, "MCU MOUSE DEMO", under the "Bluetooth and other Devices" section. When I try to read from the radio in Chirp, there is nothing shown under Ports in the drop down. I can select Baofeng as the vendor, and a number of other models are listed. Similarly, under Linux (current x64 Mint, based on Ubuntu) , there is no known port that the software is looking for.
Ideas?
Cheers, Tim
you could have bought the same radio for much less

Thanks John.
Do you know if that's a technical limitation, or just means that there hasn't been anyone trying to work with this model yet? Are the protocols used to talk to the radios documented anywhere? Could always look at the source I suppose. <grin>
For what it's worth, it turns out I don't have a digital repeater in my area yet anyway, but will be looking to set up for regular analog use.

dmr is more complex to program than a 1 dimension memory layout of analog radios. theres talkgroups, colours, zones, contacts etc and they have to be then stitched together by the software. a sharkrf openspot may be usefull to you if no local repeaters. recommended. i got 2 😊
otherwise, chirp is the best app for me on my other fleet of radios, works great.

Thanks Neil. I've just been looking at the links from John, and yeah, getting a sense that there's lots more going on there.
In terms of being able to just talk to the radio though, are they different? Basically wondering if software could read the whole works, update the bits it does understand, and then put it all back.
The openspot devices look interesting too, thanks.

Hello all,
Call me new to everything - brand new ham (VA7TJL), new Chirp
user,
and have a new radio. I've read docs, but please let me know
if the
questions are too dumb.
I've picked up a Baofeng DM-5R, V3 as seen here:
https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fleetw...
It shows up as BF-5R on the boot screen, but neither that nor
DM-5R
are listed as supported. I did see though that there are other Baofeng radios under new and unusual names, that might be
supported
as a variant of one that is known. If there is a way to tell
if this
is the case, I'm open to suggestions.
The Windows software from the manufacturer does detect and
read the
config from the radio, but the USB device (radio with supplied cable) shows up in settings Win 10 settings as, "MCU MOUSE DEMO", under the "Bluetooth and other Devices" section. When I try to
read
from the radio in Chirp, there is nothing shown under Ports in the drop down. I can select Baofeng as the vendor, and a number of
other
models are listed. Similarly, under Linux (current x64 Mint, based on Ubuntu) , there is no known port that the software is looking for.
Ideas?

Looks like you wouldn't want to use some of these radios on amateur repeaters even if you could.

The digital version of the Baofeng is not supported by CHIRP.

Hello all,
Call me new to everything - brand new ham (VA7TJL), new Chirp
user,
and have a new radio. I've read docs, but please let me know
if the
questions are too dumb.
I've picked up a Baofeng DM-5R, V3 as seen here:
https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fleetw...
It shows up as BF-5R on the boot screen, but neither that nor
DM-5R
are listed as supported. I did see though that there are
other
Baofeng radios under new and unusual names, that might be
supported
as a variant of one that is known. If there is a way to tell
if this
is the case, I'm open to suggestions.
The Windows software from the manufacturer does detect and
read the
config from the radio, but the USB device (radio with
supplied
cable) shows up in settings Win 10 settings as, "MCU MOUSE
DEMO",
under the "Bluetooth and other Devices" section. When I try
to
read
from the radio in Chirp, there is nothing shown under Ports
in the
drop down. I can select Baofeng as the vendor, and a number
of
other
models are listed. Similarly, under Linux (current x64 Mint,
based
on Ubuntu) , there is no known port that the software is looking for.
Ideas?
Cheers, Tim

Good to know, thanks. This is a 2018 version, hopefully better behaved now. The link below has a lower-tech way to test via the sound on an analog radio, which is handy too.

On a related note, this radio/cable shows up not as a serial port, but as HID (human interface device) class. For example, I see this on Linux (from syslog):
hid-generic 0003:15A2:0073.0001: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Device [FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR INC. MCU MOUSE DEMO] on usb-0000:00:14.0-6/input0
Or from lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 15a2:0073 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
Chirp appears to be expecting only tty ports - any idea if other radios do the same, and have workarounds?

Hello all, Call me new to everything - brand new ham (VA7TJL), new Chirp user, and have a new radio. I've read docs, but please let me know if the questions are too dumb. I've picked up a Baofeng DM-5R, V3 as seen here: https://www.fleetwooddp.com/products/pre-order-baofeng-dm-5r-v3-2018-digital-dmr-dual-band-amateur-ham-radio <https://www.fleetwooddp.com/products/pre-order-baofeng-dm-5r-v3-2018-digital-dmr-dual-band-amateur-ham-radio> It shows up as BF-5R on the boot screen, but neither that nor DM-5R are listed as supported. I did see though that there are other Baofeng radios under new and unusual names, that might be supported as a variant of one that is known. If there is a way to tell if this is the case, I'm open to suggestions. The Windows software from the manufacturer does detect and read the config from the radio, but the USB device (radio with supplied cable) shows up in settings Win 10 settings as, "MCU MOUSE DEMO", under the "Bluetooth and other Devices" section. When I try to read from the radio in Chirp, there is nothing shown under Ports in the drop down. I can select Baofeng as the vendor, and a number of other models are listed. Similarly, under Linux (current x64 Mint, based on Ubuntu) , there is no known port that the software is looking for. Ideas?

On a related note, this radio/cable shows up not as a serial port, but as HID (human interface device) class. For example, I see this on Linux (from syslog):
hid-generic 0003:15A2:0073.0001: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Device [FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR INC. MCU MOUSE DEMO] on usb-0000:00:14.0-6/input0
Or from lsusb:

Also note that when you buy the uber cheap radios out of China, if you get a dud it can be more expensive to return than the radio's cost.
I don't buy Baofengs very often but when I do I just go to Amazon and check that it ships from the US.

Sure, in this case I figured that it's reasonable to support a local (well, regional) retailer. Especially as a newbie to the hobby, where I've got enough questions without adding a translation layer.
