First post here, hello.

I was gifted a UV-5RX3 and I am unable to get CHIRP (next) to read it. I have selected the Radioddity UV-5RX3 model and the correct com ports - which is either a real Serial port on COM1? or a pair of other USB Serial cables (COM5 and 6) I am able to use successfully for other radios (Kenwood TH-G71A and TYT UV-H88), I've even tried the Prolific Cable that came in the box and Windows 10 installed a driver for it, but it keys the transmitter, so it was uninstalled.

With the any of the serial ports I am getting a "Radio did not respond" error.

The Firmware on the display says BFS001 and I am aware that this may be meaningless.

SN: EU2016051503

Is it possible to test the serial communication with a terminal emulator? What serial parameters and possible commands might retrieve a response? If the serial port is plain dead then I'll have to program what I want added by hand (uggg).

Thank you

More info...

I installed the CPS from the Radioddity site and it also does not work.
Settings -> Port COM1
Program -> Read form radio
Click Start
"hand shake..."
"failure!"?

My gut feeling is that the radio is defective. :(

Have you tried adjusting the volume of the radio? Too loud or too quiet and it will not sync.?

?

try this software

>Have you tried adjusting the volume of the radio? Too loud or too quiet and it will not sync.?

You're funny.

Tried, same result, in Chinese.

Eric, I owe you an apology. I didn't see how adjusting volume could possibly matter but right around 50% seems to have done the trick (CHIRP).

It's the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Thank you again.

Not dumb, cheap. If you can engineer multiple things to flow through one pathway instead of 2, you save pennies.? Volume fidelity, tubes, transistors, generators or cars, even animals, are generally at their best at mid output. It's not ideal, but it's life.

But some volume-inclusive circuits will demand all or most of the output available to boost co-functions to tip 1's & 0 threshold levels. No doubt there are those who ascribe to Steven Jobs and those who follow Clive Sinclair. There's a song; "It's a mixed up ___ world."

But you're still right - It's funny... Even if you understand it.

Take my wife........
Please.

Bill, I was amused by your comments regarding both Steve Jobs and SIR Clive Sinclair, simply because Steve Jobs made me very wealthy having bought stock at $18 a share and then having it go to $650 and do a 7 to 1 split, so was $92 a share and subsequently going to $175 a share. I also worked for Sir Clive Sinclair, way before he was knighted, in fact I remember that for a visionary it took him several attempts to pass his drivers license it was that far back :-).
