Re: [chirp_users] More baofeng woes (UV-B5) (Scott Martin)
Hi
I picked up a UV-B5 and am unable to program it with chirp.
Yes ... sadly there is an open ticket for this for 4 months ... unfixed as of yet. http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/2293
New UV-B5 software is not recognized by Chirp. There is a one line patch for Linux Chirp floating around that makes it work. Or you can use the Baofeng SW to download the image, rename it, use chirp to edit it, rename it back and use baofeng SW to upload it.
I hope this will be addressed by Chirp soon!
Where is this one line patch?
It only works on Linux, as there the Python code is directly accessible. I was very much hoping that Chirp gets changed to work with the "new" UV-B5.
If you are using Linux I can search for the old message and send it to you.

If you got me the one line patch, I was planning to get it tested and then submit it to be added to CHIRP.

Thanks for your time all.
I've tried a python script 'uvr5.py' with a md5sum of 8259c589e7791536a0ea91cade6729b9 . It's a *nix box. I'm digging into the hardware and starting to think this one's lost it's smoke. I'm charging my camera battery now...
Be well, Scott
