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?

I loaded OpenGD77 on the DM-1801, it allows direct TG entry from keypad as well as some other features.? www.opengd77.com

I have a DM-1801 that I loaded with OpenGD77 firmware, it is usable for my purposes.

Here is the manual. Maybe the volume is down. ?Maybe it’s I the wrong mode for the signal source?

Hi New here..

Baofeng has no control over this group. This is a self-help group and
even complaints about their radios are not censored.

Did you mean a different group about their radios is censored?

Does anyone here have the Baofeng DM-1701 and has used the DMR
features on it?

I would like to compare it with the very popular Anytone DMR radios.
It's less expensive but is it as good, and is it easy to set up,
program, and use?

It's my understanding they were trying to suppress non-military
communication. Making HTs illegal would help the military hold onto
their power.

I keep hoping the new FCC chairperson (Jessica Rosewercel) tightens up the FCC enforcement, but not this tight.

Prison for having a CCR??!?!?

Whoa!

Jack, my fav electret mike capsule is PUI A0M 5024HD. FROM MOUSER OR DIGIKEY,? 80 SNR!? SUPER LOW NOISE JFET INSIDE.A+ FOR OMNI RECORDING TOO.

The Baofeng speaker mic has OK speaker but the microphone is terrible has anyone found a decent speaker mic for this radio
Tnx

i tried the Baofeng speaker mic...speaker is very good, the mic is awful
Has anyone found a good speaker mic for Baofeng HT?
tnx

Double check that the cable plugs are all the way into the jacks.? Baofeng, and all of their copycats, are notorious for making the slot too narrow for the programming cable plug.? Make certain that you have the com port that it creates set to the proper speed to match what the software is set to.? If you are using the software that came with the radio I recommend you dump that and download/install Chirp.? It is much easier to use and there are libraries of frequencies you can use to program your radio.

Any ideas?

Are you using the manufacturer's software, RT Systems, or CHIRP? (or
some other package?)

I've only worked with CHIRP and somewhat with RT Systems, but I do
know for CHIRP that you first have to download from the radio to
populate the database file with the information and format. Then you
can copy and paste the information into the spreadsheet like database,
assuming it's in the same format.

If you haven't done that first, it might be necessary with the other
two software packages. There should be directions that came with your
software, so I would start with that first if it's not CHIRP.

There may be useful YouTube videos to help you. I bought a small book
on CHIRP programming but I didn't really need it. I could have got my
instructions elsewhere for free.

One other question, if you bought the radio used or not from Baofeng,
is if you got the official cable with the FDTI chipset? If you bought
it used you might have got a knock-off cable that won't be supported
by the driver software you need to interface with the radio through
the cable. This is more likely with cables that have the Prolific
chipset. If you bought it from Baofeng, you're probably safe.

I've been trying to study the UV-5R. (This old vet finds it in his budget.)

If you get the UV-5R I recommend downloading the CHIRP program and get
the REAL Baofeng cable:



I also have used this multiheaded cable from AliExpress with success
but you have to get the Windows 10 driver. But if you aren't thinking
of trying it with any other radio, skip this one and pay less and get
the one above. I got it to help others with different HTs that don't
have the same Baofeng hookup.




Note that some Baofengs use an even different "Motorola" hookup not on
these cables. I'll buy a cable with that only when I find myself with
a radio that has that connector type.

I recommend the program and the cable because these are very difficult
to program from the front panel buttons, and I'm not the only one who
feels that way. Most seem to get the cable. CHIRP is free and we have
another group for that program, though it's not very active. You can
also buy the programming package from RT Systems for probably around
$25-$30. With the cable, I think their package costs about $50-$60,
more than twice what you can buy the UV-5R for. The CHIRP solution
only costs you a cable.

The Baofeng BF-F9 V2+ with part 90 cert, is also of some interest for its potential eventual safety public band monitor use.

That radio lacks coverage of the 2M band, so for ham use, it's a
single band radio, though if you don't need or like 2M, you get the US
FM braodcast band and a little coverage below that down to 65 MHz. YOu
also get a 5W radio, or so they way. These often actually measure much
less.
