[chirp_users] Hello and Confusion
Hi All:
Just landed at Chirp. Using it for programming the Baofend BF888s. We use about 30 of them at a sporting event. I was intending to make some programming changes but find that some of the radios will enter programming mode and some will not. Wondering if you have heard of this before?
Other than that the software works great.
Cheers
Jeff
Hi Jeff,

Yes. I have heard of this before. This won't be easy to resolve unless the owners of one of these radios that won't enter programming mode would help to determine what is different about them. So far there hasn't been much assistance in that regard. The only other way would be to get one of these radios into the hands of a developer so the issue can be studied directly.
Do all of the radios program OK with the same Baofeng software? If they require a different software, which software?

Hi Jim: I have all the radios with me. They were all bought together just weeks ago. I will try backdating my USB driver to the one recommended and then give it a try. I have only tried CHIRPS daily at this time but might try the BAOfeng software to see if it makes a difference.

Great. It will help to know if the same radios fail with the Baofeng software or is the same software does them all.
