Baofeng UV-5R8W programming question
So far I have not found this setting, but is there a way to lengthen then time your message stays on the screen at start up time?
It flashes on then off very quickly. Just want to have it stay on for a little longer before going away.
I have done the bulk of the programming using CHIRP.
Thanks

Re: Programming the UV-17 PRO MAX
Once you have the cable from rt systems you only need the software, the cable works on all baofeng radios Michael Kimsey

CHIRP does the job just fine once it's set up. RT Systems is just a little more
polished and supports more radios than CHIRP, I believe. RT systems (last time I
bought their package several years ago) charges about $25 for their cable and
$25 for the software when bought together. But, the good part is that if you buy
the package from them, it will work, and there's good support if you need it.
I've used both. I don't really see CHIRP as being difficult to use, but I won't
buy a cable with the Prolific chipset. I get one that uses the FDTI chip or
there's another one from China that also works well, though they don't supply
instructions for it. You have to find the driver on your own.

Re: Programming the UV-17 PRO MAX
Thanks for your responses. I've determined that my issue is communication, PC to HT. The cable I have is at least 10 years old and is the Prolific unit. Also I'm trying to use it on laptop that still uses Windows 7 (it's just comfortable). So it looks like a new cable and the software from RT is in order. Thanks again folks...Bill - N6GHz

Try Wouxun. I have a 4m - 2m one that does it but I am sure there's 2/70 ones that do it out of the box.
Are there any Chinese mobile VHF/UHF dualband radios that let you store crossband memories, like where you receive on 70cm and transmit on 2m?? The Baofeng HTs lets you do this-finally figured out how on the UV82, but in viewing a few manuals for the mobile radios I can't seem to find any mention of this.? Would like something with a little higher power than the HTs to use on the FM satellites without spending a lot of money.
This would almost seem necessary if you wanted to use one of these on the FM satellites in half duplex mode.

this link should cover it...
the short answer is that you need to reload the firmware/flash-the model # info is stored at the bottom end of the file-when it gets corrupted, you?will get the error that you are getting. So yes, you can probably fix the radio. On Sun, Jun 30, 2024 at 1:09?PM SCOTT READ - KM6RFB via <southbfd= [email protected]> wrote:

UV5r - signalink - raspberry pi - APRS
Hardware: UV5R, SignaLink, Raspberry Pi3, APRS
Software: Bookworm, Direwolf
I have an APRS digipeater/igate set up with the above hardware software. It beacons, repeats, and igates, but when the SignaLink transmit light goes off and relay changes, the UV5R still transmits for a couple seconds. Anyone have any idea why?

Re: Baofeng UV-82HP Memory programming

If you get no responses here, you may want to be the pioneer here and try it and
see, then let us know if it worked.
If you don't find CHIRP supports your particular radio, you might check RT
Systems and see if they have software that works for your model. It's a bit
easier to use than CHIRP and supports more models than CHIRP does, but it isn't
free.
The Chinese HT makers have come out with so many different models and variations
that it's no surprise that CHIRP can't keep up on a low-budget operation and
offering it for "free" to hams.

Re: DM-1701 pc driver problems
Hi Donald, I found the error.... very stupid ! I inserted the connector into the radio but not all the way, it was missing the last click, towards the end it was hard to insert.? Now everything works perfectly except it is impossible to install the original CPS Baofeng software... incompatible with WIN10.
Thanks for your reply Donald !

Are you trying to install the driver for the cable chipset? There are three
different chipsets I am aware of: Prolific, FTDI, or a third one CH-340. There
are fake Prolific cables out there that the driver won't recognize, so that
could be the source of the problem.
If you have the FTDI cable, the drivers should work. The third type needs its
own specific driver but Windows may have that built into the operating system.
So if you're installing the wrong driver for your cable, it won't work, and if
you are installing the Prolific driver for a Prolific chipset cable, it may not
work if the cable is a knock-off of the real thing.
I don't know if this will point you in the right direction for a solution, but
these things came to mind.
This cable should work:
It says Windows will usually recognize the cable and use it's built-in driver,
but it does come with a mini-CDROM with the driver software if it's needed. It's
sold in the Amazon Baofeng store.
You also have the ability to program the radio from the front panel, but it's a
lot of work.

I have a Baofeng UV-82HP which is a nice HT, and I would like to use it on satellites.? However, you cannot manually program crossband memories in it, and setting the repeater shift to large values doesn't work either.? Will using CHIRP to program it allow me to store crossband memories in it, like where it receives on 437.810 and transmits on 145,990?
