I'm VERY new at this so hope this question isn't off base! I have a new Baofeng UV-5R and have made my own cable to connect to it. The cable I've made is a DB9F to 3.5mm and 2.5mm plugs. The USB to serial adapter that I connect to is one that I've used with other things and works fine.
With the connectors in the radio the display comes up with a solid black dot matrix in the top frequency display and most of the info icons across the top. When I try to read the radio with CHIRP, I can see some data communication on the lights of the USB/Serial interface and the radio display changes to almost normal but then goes in to transmit mode and everything stops. I get an error indicating that "An error has occurred - Radio did not respond".
I'm hoping someone can suggest some things to look at to further troubleshoot this!
Thanks
Dan Grant
I have attached two YouTube videos for your review regarding the new Baofeng Chirp cable. The new cable referred to in the short video has a special chip in the cable that you need to purchase. The YouTube videos will explain everything well.

I just got on Ebay and ordered a CP-2102 chip ($3) and refitted my cables to that. Cheaper.

A few things about making your own cable because I have made one myself in the past. The radio doesn't use a serial hook up, it needs TTL. If you have a serial port in front of you you can create a small Circuit to convert it to TTL. Just google serial to TTL and it will show you. The next thing you were mentioning about keying up and transmitting. From what I recall you have to keep the grounds separate from the input and output.
Good luck on your endeavors.

I ordered two usb to ttl adapters from Ebay for 4$ shipped. They took a while to get here, but they work, and were very cheap. you can also get a max232 chip for free from the manufacturer. They sent me 4 I think, all I did was email and ask them.

A few things about making your own cable because I have made one myself in the past. The radio doesn't use a serial hook up, it needs TTL. If you have a serial port in front of you you can create a small Circuit to convert it to TTL. Just google serial to TTL and it will show you. The next thing you were mentioning about keying up and transmitting. From what I recall you have to keep the grounds separate from the input and output.
Good luck on your endeavors.

Or you could go all in and order a proper cable from Amazon for around 10 bucks

I have attached two YouTube videos for your review regarding the new Baofeng Chirp cable. The new cable referred to in the short video has a special chip in the cable that you need to purchase. The YouTube videos will explain everything well.

I’m VERY new at this so hope this question isn’t off base! I have a new Baofeng UV-5R and have made my own cable to connect to it. The cable I’ve made is a DB9F to 3.5mm and 2.5mm plugs. The USB to serial adapter that I connect to is one that I’ve used with other things and works fine.
With the connectors in the radio the display comes up with a solid black dot matrix in the top frequency display and most of the info icons across the top. When I try to read the radio with CHIRP, I can see some data communication on the lights of the USB/Serial interface and the radio display changes to almost normal but then goes in to transmit mode and everything stops. I get an error indicating that “An error has occurred - Radio did not respond”.
I’m hoping someone can suggest some things to look at to further troubleshoot this!
Thanks
Dan Grant

Hi Dan,
I’m hoping someone can suggest some things to look at to further troubleshoot this!
I have a couple of suggestions.
1. Try swapping the TXD and RXD wires. It can be confusing on some of the pinouts that are available because it is not always clear if TXD means "connect me to TXD" or "I am TXD so connect me to RXD on the other end.
2. If you are using Windows and the cable you have contains a counterfeit Prolific chip, download, install and select the older v3.2.0.0 device driver. I know you said you cable works with "other things", but if Device Manager shows the programming cable has a Prolific chip, the older driver can only help.
