I am on my netbook right now that has Ubuntu Linux and installed CHIRP on there but it only has support for the UV-3R right now and didn't work. <br /><br />Thinking about what you said needing more force for the Baofeng radios it looks like the pins are not being inserted fully into the radio. I might need to shave down some of the plastic for a better fit. I'll give that a shot and let you know. <br /><br />-BryanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776602294831690519.post-60399987233345672092012-03-27T21:19:23.842-04:002012-03-27T21:19:23.842-04:00No programming mode on the UV-5R.

I got my UV-5R from 409Shop but didn'...Hi All, <br /><br />I got my UV-5R from 409Shop but didn't order the programming cable with it. After much frustration I realized how much you need that programming cable. So I ordered one from NH7QH on ebay and got it quickly. I run OSX and Windows XP in a virtual machine but never had any issued with the VM programming my FT-60. <br /><br />So I got the yellow bang code 10 and after much reading I figured that could be due to a counterfeit prolific chip. Being the resourceful person I am I hacked apart my FT-60 cable which has a working prolific chip and is working to program my FT-60 and soldered the Baofeng's connectors onto the TX/RX/GND pads and gave it another shot. This time the software said "fail connect to transceiver."<br /><br />So back to the drawing board I came to this group, tried everything else everyone has posted but I cannot get the computer to talk to the radio. I decided to get out of the VM and grab a laptop that has WinXP installed and installed the driver file from this group, the program from this group, and tried it again but still got the error "fail connect to transceiver." <br /><br />I don't know what to try next at this point. Is there some step I am overlooking? Is there a button I need to press like on the FT-60 to get it into programming mode?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776602294831690519.post-11819985505920964492012-03-16T13:45:02.177-04:002012-03-16T13:45:02.177-04:00look out all the other big companies i will be buy...look out all the other big companies i will be buying one pity no airband... 446 rules BETTWS 446 NETAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776602294831690519.post-69686973924967609422012-03-16T13:41:28.194-04:002012-03-16T13:41:28.194-04:00some hams will moan hehehe your right theresome hams will moan hehehe your right thereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776602294831690519.post-44672341496973927432012-03-10T08:56:57.568-05:002012-03-10T08:56:57.568-05:00nice set look at the price £38 for a 4 watt dual b...nice set look at the price £38 for a 4 watt dual bander incredible value for the money no dought some hams will mornAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776602294831690519.post-3309700780654803502012-02-29T16:23:14.247-05:002012-02-29T16:23:14.247-05:00is that the 2/5 tone encoder & decoder(optiona...is that the 2/5 tone encoder & decoder(optional )?<br />the dtmf coder/decoder?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992064205346560050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776602294831690519.post-42383800731192080632012-02-20T21:10:04.090-05:002012-02-20T21:10:04.090-05:00I'd be lying if I said I understood a lot of t...I'd be lying if I said I understood a lot of that PDF, but I do agree that we are living in interesting times.
