New subject: [chirp_users] Change language from Chinese to English-Baofeng UV-5R

21 May 2014

      When entering my one and only repeater frequency, offset, TX, RX, etc., the language changed from English to Chinese.  How do I change it back to English?  Can't seem to find the commands in the booklet.  Radio receives and transmits fine.

I am new to this list and probably am making mistakes that are already well
known!
I bought a cheap cable running the 2303 chip, which I found later is not so
good.
The drivers on the supplied CD seem to work OK, but when I go to use CHIRP,
I get an "Error Occurred" message saying "could not open port COM3: [Error
2] The system cannot find the file specified."
Is there anything I can try here, or should I just shop for a better cable?

Well, I got it working by reading the instructions on the CHIRP web site.
It suggested downloading a driver from the 409shop.com web site, which I
did.  Amazingly, the cheap (about $4 including shipping) worked!

I would suggest just tossing the idea of using whatever driver you got on the supplied CD. I ordered a cable and disc set off of Amazon, threw the disc out, downloaded everything off of CHIRP, plugged in my cable, and it went flawless. Not one hitch. This was a Baofeng UV-82. CHIRP rocks!

Not exactly true. With Windows 8 Prolific has announced that certain
common chips will not be supported at all, and they seem to be getting
better at preventing the old drivers from working. I have a genuine
ICOM cable that recently fell victim to this.

Its wrong only if you have a 'counterfeit' Prolific chip, the most 
recent driver revisions that Prolific themselves provided to
Microsoft detects and disables the non-genuine variants. Prolific
is protecting their market share and IP, and Microsoft was
providing a certified manufacturer supplied driver.

Except starting with Mac OS X Mavericks Apple is providing an O/S

to serial driver with CHIRP with zero problems.
Windows has provides an O/S built in USB serial driver. The
dilemma is the stupid Microsoft thinks they should automatically
provide the latest O/S built in USB serial driver. And that is
absolutely the wrong thing to do if you are using a Prolific USB /
serial cable.

The drivers for certain USB/serial adapter cables will still be 
required, and they seem to be the main thing causing problems on 
Windows and Mac OS.
