I just received my UV-5RH, and I am not able to read or write from the thing. I've tried with both the T6UV and CHIRP software, but it always fails. Not only that, but I even bought two more programming cables (never hurts to have spares, amirite?) and they don't help. When I try to read/write, the picture of the computer comes up on the radio screen, but no data is transferred. In T6UV, it just says "Failure". In CHIRP, using the 5RM model, the message is "Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want". Any tips before I send this back? Firmware: 1.05 Hardware: V01

i Black Pro Max programming with CHIRP, which baofeng model do I choose to do this?

A UV82 has come my way as part of a silent key estate. It transmits on 2m but not 70cm I’ve checked the settings to ensure it hasn’t been restricted, tried resetting and reprogramming, still no tx on 70cm. Not even enough to detect on a receiver nearby. Nothing on the display to suggest it isn’t transmitting when the ptt is pressed. My understanding, which could be false, is that these radios are largely ‘common’ path for their RF - ie only one PA, driver, etc. While a bad reactive component may be the cause, if that were the case ( at least if in the PA etc), I’d expected some RF, even if just enough to detect on a nearby Rx. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas, please? 73 Brian G8OSN/W8OSN

Anyone know about using a UV5R as an echolink hotspot and specifically what cable are you using successfully with the UV5R and PC. I have ordered a K2 cable that is also used for APRS from Amazon after seeing an article on this subject online - but - this cable seems to have extremely narrow audio out when I transmit. It almost sounds like a landline phone going back and out through Echolink. Several years ago there was a simple cable setup available that seemed to work well and I was looking to trade notes with someone who has a working setup like this because the cable from amazon doesn't seem to cut it for transmitting back through echolink. Appreciate any thoughts on this question.

Hi, I'm struggling with turning off the offline symbol on the 1701, its that little blue arrow at the top right of the screen on the right of the encryption icon, Reason i ask is because i programmed a frequency into the radio, the slot was correct and the colour code was correct, but although i can see activity on the screen i cannot hear anything, the weird part is, if i change the tx frequency and leave the rx frequency on the channel i want to hear, then i can hear the chat, doing that also makes the blue arrow icon change to a minus, I take it because the radio channel is now set as a repeater style one, I just want to turn off the offline icon so i can talk on the channel as well, so wanted to know how to do it, i have looked in all the radio settings and in the CPS settings and there is nothing i can see,, any help appreciated.

I have UV-18 Pro Max GPS I am convinced it is genuine, color screen, large numbers, deep voice in the menu with the ability to create zones in memory is the correct radio. But I am disappointed because the AM (Wide) Air Band mode sounds Horrible, hoarse, saturated, strong signals are heard saturated, almost nothing is understood. I really like the style of this radio. I have the UV-17 Pro GPS, reception is completely understandable, crystal sound is received very nice in AM mode. I imagined that having so much similarity in terms of firmware (when both radios are turned on, the screen looks like two drops of water) that it would have the same reception but that is not the case. Any comments are welcome. Radius: 100 Firmware: Ver1.03 Hardware:1.30

Got this about a week ago and powers on fine but wont power off when I switch off; it will happily drain the battery even when I switch the power off, and the radio remains on. Any suggestions?

BTW: Happy New Year To All On The Group. Unlike the Baofeng UF-17 which has a a Unofficial "CPS Unofficial Build 124j" which make it a good workable radio the(Sister like) Radioddity GC-5 has Many shortcomings (like Its LOCKED) It Looks Like it will become another Radioddity Orphan Radio unlike the Radiodiity GD-77 which has a fantastic support and Freeware firmware that make it a Fun DMR/Analog radio. Unlike the UF-17,I have Searched and Found No "Build" that would firstly Open Up the GC-5 and clean up the "foibles" Any one on the group have any Information on this Radio and any "Unofficial" Builds? Best Regards. Steve AB2ET

Hi, Does anybody have the UV-K6 and has a user guide? Paul /g/Low-Cost-Radio-Monitoring-and-DX

Hi Everyone, Thanks for letting me join. I already have a number of UV-5R's but I have just purchased a UV-5RH. I expected it to be very similar to the 5R, but it has several different options in the menus and it didn't come with any user manual! Does anyone know where I could find a manual for it, and also if it is possible to get Chirp to recognize the radio - I have had no luck so far. Cheers, Peter E.

Hi, I'm new to the group. I searched the messages for this topic but didn't find anything. I am trying to get Dual Watch to work on my UV-5R. When I go to the Menu, it says the TDR is ON. But when I try it the dual watch function is not working. I only hear the channel with the arrow. I have to push the A/B button to hear the other channel. I have tried programming it manually through the Menu and also using Chirp, but get the same result. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have the Baofeng DM-1701 and it is about two years old. Went on vacation and three weeks later went to turn on the radio and it did not turn on. Figured the battery was dead but after charging it, it still did not work, so I tried another battery, still did not work. Batteries are good as they work in my other DM-1701. Think I paid around $100 so sending it in for repair would not be cost effective. Has anyone experienced this problem or do you have any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

I uploaded two documents, one in MS Word format, the other as a PDF. They are both titled: How to reset a Baofeng UV-5R I thought this might be something users of this radio might want to keep a local copy of on hand. Donald KX8K

I have one myself but I've never reset it. Apparently, there are various things you can reset on the UV-5R. Try these instructions: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/blog/2016/07/how_to_reset_a_baofeng_uv-5r_two_way_radio.html ================================================================= How to reset a Baofeng UV-5R two way radio Certain circumstances may require you to perform a reset on your Baofeng. Performing a reset is extremely easy, however if you speak only English and the voice prompts are in Chinese, performing a simple reset or recovering from one may require a little more attention. Follow the steps below to reset a Baofeng UV-5R, BF-F9, BF-F8+, UV-B6 or UV-82 two way radio from Buy Two Way Radios. To perform a VFO Reset 1.Turn on the radio and press the MENU button. 2.Press the UP and DOWN arrow key to select RESET (Menu Item 40). 3.Press MENU to choose RESET. 4.Press the DOWN arrow key to choose VFO. 5.Press MENU. The radio will display SOURCE? 6.Press MENU to confirm. The radio will display WAIT... for a few seconds, then beep twice to confirm reset is complete. The radio will revert to Chinese language mode. Reset is complete. To perform a FULL Reset 1.Turn on the radio and press the MENU button. 2.Press the UP and DOWN arrow key to select RESET (Menu Item 40). 3.Press MENU to choose RESET. 4.Press the DOWN arrow key to choose ALL. 5.Press MENU. The radio will display SOURCE? 6.Press MENU to confirm. The radio will display WAIT... for a few seconds, then beep twice to confirm reset is complete. 7.The radio will revert to Chinese language mode. Reset is complete. To set language from Chinese to English 1.Press MENU. 2.Press the UP and DOWN arrow key to select VOICE (Menu Item 14). 3.Press MENU to choose VOICE. 4.Press the DOWN arrow key to choose ENG. 5.Press MENU to choose ENG. NOTE: a VFO RESET only resets the frequency values in VFO mode. To reset the radio back to factory defaults, choose RESET/ALL. A reset may resolve some issues, but will not resolve them all. Some scenarios, such as inoperability due to an incorrect or corrupt image file cannot be resolved with a reset and require another resolution. It is, however, usually a standard first step when troubleshooting the radio. ================================================================= Please go to the link for the original discussion about resetting this radio. I suggest copying the text above and pasting it into a word processor, then saving it in a convenient format, like PDF, so that you can share this in the future.

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 Danny, K5CG

I have a quick question for the group. I have purchased a Baofeng VU16 Pro (Dual Band model). Somehow I have overwritten the base file I had saved when I got the radio before I started programming it with CHIRP. I have also reset the squelch settings and have set them too high. I have searched the web and have yet to find a copy of the base file. I have checked out RT Systems, but they shouldn't be the only software to program he radio. I see so many others reference CHIRP for the Baofengs, I agree, I don't get all the features uploaded (I use Baofeng BF-F8HP) to program as my radio isn't listed (yet). I hope I'm not breaking any rules but I'm also posting this to the Chirp group in hopes of getting assistance also. What I'm looking for is the following: 1. Base file for the Baofeng VU16 Pro Dual Band radio 2. The original numbers for the squelch settings for the VU16 Pro Thank you in advance -- Eddie Carroll KD4BAS Western KY USA

Has anyone else tried to use a CTCSS receive tone on their BF-F8HP? If I have a transmit CTCSS tone configured, I cannot make a receive tone "stick". That is, when I exit the menu, the setting reverts to "off". And if I try to set it to TSQL in Chirp (CTCSS xmit and rcv), the setting will get copied to the radio, but I can never hear anyone who transmits a CTCSS tone. Also cannot hear repeaters that transmit a tone.

Our club has bulk purchased a bunch of Baofeng UV-S9X3 to sell or give away to new hams. The UV-S9X3 is a tri-band radio that makes a great introductory radio. We have a Chirp file we use to program the radios with our local standard frequency list. the list includes 2 meter, 1.25 meter, and 70 cm repeaters and simplex frequencies. The issue is with a few of the radios, they will not transmit on 220. Utilizing Chirp they program just fine, but will not transmit on 220, while the rest of the bunch do program and transmit on 220. Any help in solving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Rich, KR4PI

Greetings I'm new to the group. I just purchased a UV9R Pro (because it is more water resistant than other BaoFeng models. I tried to program using BaoFeng USB/chipset cord and CHIRP (ver CHIRPNext 20230515). Did the normal CHIRP routine, downloaded the (New) RADIO program load first, assuming I could then upload my existing frequency list with couple hundred entries. Instead the new UV9R Pro in CHIRPNext requires save the Downloaded new Radio program as an IMAGE file (dot img). So I did that in CHIRPNext. Now I have my old long frequency list as a CSV file and am unable to just upload it like I used to for previous radios UV5Rx3, BFF*. Am I doing something wrong? How do I get a list of frequencies in CSV in CHIRPNext into a Image file that the new UV9R Pro accepts to upload? Appreciate all helpful tips, I'm not a computer geek/expert so file types baffle me and I can't find anything in the CHIRP instructions OR new UV9R Pro addressing the different program load file types... Thanks in advance, 73, Ed/KC3NAF
