I just purchased my first DMR radio to start learning about more of the digital side of ham.?

While waiting for my shipping, I got my DMR Id, found local repeaters and started creating the plan for the code plug I wanted.?

However, the first thing I need to do before programming is to upgrade firmware to match CPS and then enter my DMR ID into the RadioID or I won't get acknowledged by the repeaters. I have to enter a configuration mode to upgrade by holding SK1(upper side button) & PTT while powering up radio. This is when the pc started to recognize the USB. This leads me to believe that the USB chip is inside the real itself and to use a straight no chip programming cable.

I tried using zadig to use winusb, manually installing Prolific, ST,,... drivers to no avail.

Where I'm stuck:
My windows 10 64bit laptop doesn't recognize the programming cable until powering up the radio. Then is failed because "Unknown USB Device (Device descriptor Request Failed" and looking at the VIDPID gives 0000/0002, in other words nothing. I need to find a driver for this radio to start going anywhere?with it.


It's going to take a few months to maybe afford a Anytone 878 if I need to as I'm very limited on a very tight budget this year.

Thank you for the help

Did you buy the radio that comes with software and the cable like
Baofeng sells on Amazon?

If you didn't get the cable in the package you might be using one of
the Prolific or FDTI chipset knockoff cables. Those with counterfeit
chips often won't work. However, if you are correct that the chipset
is in the radio instead of the cable, are you installing the correct
driver? It may be the FDTI chipset instead of Prolific, and if so, you
would need the correct driver for the FDTI chipset instead.

If you are using the official Baofeng cable, I wouldn't know what next
step to take. I have the UV-5R and bought the Baofeng cable sold by
Baofeng Tech on Amazon and it worked out of the box with CHIRP. I
didn't get the Baofeng software as I wanted to get some experience
with CHIRP. I think their software is free to download though.

The Baofeng DMR radios use a straight cable with no chip sets in them or drivers needed. I bought a DM-9HX (same as the BF-5R
but with the big battery). Unfortunately the dealer gave me the wrong cable and I had to buy one from BTech. The correct
cable part number is X002B3W39L and has a plain USB plug like a mouse or keyboard would have. If you have a?
larger plug with Baofeng on it, it's the wrong cable.
