I suspect it’s saying low battery in Chinese or some other language.? If you can get the language in English?

Actually, it's saying "Low Voltage":the voice quality on the Baofeng radios is pretty lousy, and some of them are worse than others..

And when I say some of them are worse, I don't mean certain models, but certain units.

Others have heard similar stuff.

And not only on the uv-82-but some other Baofeng radios(often(but not only) uv-5 series).

Some people have heard this as "little brown tits", or "little gold tits", or even "robo tits".

So most likely not malware(it's probably not even possible, as I'm pretty sure that the voice files are stored on a one-time programmable IC, so malware should not be able to change it).

This is the same reason why firnware updates are not possible on most Baofeng radios.

So it's probably not fixable-perhaps the dealer might be willing to offer an exchange if it bothers you enough.

Or-sell it to someone who does not care, then use the proceeds to buy another unit, hopefully with clearer audio(it's unlikely that a another unit will have the same issue). ?

I am using a Dell laptop with WIN XP.

I bought a programming cable from a dealer at the hamfest in Seveireville, TN.

It was labeled "Baofeng" on a black plastic insert in a metal clip on the top of the USB plug.
The small CD accompanying it was broken.
I tried to use Chirp, and already installed drivers, but they did not work.

I downloaded the Driver, and software that the Miklor site reccommends.
I tried to use it, but I just kept getting error messages.

I then tried a programming cable that I got from R&L several years ago to program a Wouxun KG-UVD1P.
It worked the first time.
Obviously, the problem was tha cable,I acquired in TN, not the Miklor drivers.
I think the cable is a counterfeit, that is not FTDI compliant.
I dont't know for sure, nothing I did would identify it.

Anyway, somewhere in all of this some malware got into the system.
When the battery is getting low, the UV 82 every 28 seconds says "mobile tits", blanking out any audio signal the radio is receiving.
I can stop this by turning of the voice, but I really would like to have the voice prompts active.

Any body have any ideas on how to fix this?
