Paul,

IF you click on Chirp, then click on Radio, then Download from Radio you should get the Radio Box which contains: Port, Vendor, Model. I found that you have to select in the PORT: /dev/cu.usbserial-AL01Gowc Do this first and then when you go to Vendor you will get the list of Vendors and be able to select the BF-F8HP or whatever model you have. I bought mine from Amazon and just got the QST ANNUAL PRODUCT REVIEW today and on Page 75 it gives less than a Sterling Review on these radios. Some members of my club own 3 or 4 of them but I sent mine back to Amazon this morning. I’m going to buy a Yaesu or a Mororola because I deserve the best.

Hi Everyone:

Just wondering if anyone has encountered a problem when trying to have Chirp recognize the Baofeng UV-5R (high power version) 7 watts handheld?

I purchased one of these 2 days ago and have not been able to get Chirp to recognize it. It keeps saying that I have “Chosen the wrong model number” from the list of radios that the software recognizes. BUT I have been using the UV-5R setting??

The firmware version from the transceiver is BFP3-25.

I have downloaded the latest daily version of Chirp chirp-daily-20151009-installer.exe <>

and still have the same problem.

If anyone has any ideas, it would be appreciated.

Best regards:

Hi Everyone:

Problem solved, for the 7 watt version of the UV-5R, use the BF-F8HP setting when choosing the Baofeng Model number. It is at the top of the list in the Chirp program.

Apparently, the UV-5R is a variant of the BF-F8HP (HP stands for high power).

Hope this helps others who have purchased the UV-5R, 7 watt version.

Radios with 3 power levels require the BF-F8HP selection. Look on the CHIRP home/wiki page under BF-F8HP and you will see UV-5RTP (the TP is for Tri-Power)
