I already have a number of UV-5R's but I have just purchased a UV-5RH. I expected it to be very similar to the 5R, but it has several different options in the menus and it didn't come with any user manual!
Did you check the supported radios list for CHIRP? I don't see a UV-5RH but I do
see this one, and it says to use a different model when selecting the radio in
CHIRP:
UV-5RHP (use BF-F8HP)
I don't know if you can use the HP version or not. You would have to give it a
try. You do know about keeping the volume control wide open when
downloading/uploading data from/to the radio? I think I had trouble using CHIRP
the first time because I didn't have the volume control open enough.
Does anyone know where I could find a manual for it, and also if it is possible to get Chirp to recognize the radio - I have had no luck so far.
I can't find a manual for it, either. You may want to contact the company by
mail and see if they can send you a manual. Mention in your request that you
want to be able to read the manual so that you can follow the safety
recommendations in it, as well as to see how the menu system works.
