Baofeng Uv 5ra Free Software
John,Hope no more. CHIRP has supported the Baofeng UV-B5 and UV-B6 in the daily builds since early April.As far as CHIRP not working with the driver that you downloaded from the Baofeng website, you didn't provide much useful information that could be used to help you with.Which operating system are you running?Which version of CHIRP do you have installed?What error messages, if any, are you getting?Since the driver on the Baofeng website is for Windows XP and Windows 2000, I'm going to guess that you have Windows XP.Are you getting the 'application configuration is incorrect' when you try to run CHIRP? If so, then you probably need to install the Microsoft Visual C 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package discussed on the CHIRP FAQ page.If that isn't it, please reply with a little more detail.Jim KC9HI. Thanks Jim.I d/l'd the daily build, plugged it in, and read the existing program out of the radio. I edited what was there, adding some 470 channels and d/l'd the new file back to the radio.

Worked great!I made a couple more changes and couldn't send it to the radio. The error message was 'unexpected response from radio.' I realized then that the radio was on one of the 470 channels in memory slot 99. I tried changing it to channel 1 and it worked flawlessly.I appreciate your assistance and all your work building and developing CHIRP. This work much better than the Baofeng program.Thanks!John K1UIW.
