So I won an Baofeng UV-5RHP in a raffle at one of the seminars at NV Con. Not having had one of these radios before (Have the 888's and B5) I tried to get it programmed in Chirp after quickly determining panel programming was just as difficult as my B5.
I had zero luck in getting Chirp (daily ver 20170401) to connect to the radio. Using a genuine Baofeng programming cable (with a genuine Baofeng bootlegged prolific chip  ) under Windows 7. Radio firmware on Power/3 shows as BFP3-25. Power/6 shows as 160328N
Error message I routinely got from Chirp was "Radio did not respond." After setting Chirp to BF-F8HP I was able to read the radio and write to the radio. So for those running into problems with the Baofeng UV-5RHP radios and Chirp, try using the BF-F8HP and see if it responds. |
