Hello, I have just bought a Baofeng UV-5RH Pro GPS - https://www.baofengradio.co.uk/uv-5rh-pro-gps-multi-band-walkie-talkie/
and have not had any success downloading its initial details using CHIRP. I tried using the '5RM' (as per home page) and 'UV-5RH' options, to no avail.
I was informed there may be a connectivity/cable issue, but can use the same Baofeng Programming cable with my UV-5RTP (the debug log attached shows this successful import at the end).
I'd be happy to help run test versions or different drivers, etc. to get this working.
I notice this radio has the same volume knob as the other new radios they're bringing out, that look very similar to the Quansheng UV-K6 - e.g. the Baofeng UV-K6 (can't believe they can just 're-use' the model name like that!).. I wonder if there's any other similarities w.r.t. programming?
Kind regards, and many thanks for CHIRP,
Matt Gumbley M0CUV

This radio appears to be electronics similar to that of a UV-17 Pro GPS stuffed in to a case similar to that of the (UV-)5RM. So in reality I would expect it to be closer to the new BF-F8HP PRO with 1000 channels (10 zones of 100 channels) than anything else. You can try both selections (UV-17 Pro GPS and BF-F8HP PRO) but I would not be surprised if neither selection recognizes it.
I recently ordered a UV-5RH PRO GPS to compare with my BF-F8HP PRO.

Hello Jim,
Thank you for your suggestion - however neither of these selections worked. I was only told "The unit did not respond as expected (A)" (words to that effect).
I watched this video by "Big Will" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZsp6oH-j7w - in which he mentions that CPS software has been obtained for this radio, and posted to the "Baofeng Owner's Club" group on Facebook. I've now downloaded that, and will experiment. The software is called "5RH Pro v1.10 EN_CPS.zip", and was obtained from the AliExpress vendor that one group member bought their handheld from.
If it would assist the CHIRP team, I believe I could capture traffic over the USB connection with Wireshark, whilst running this CPS software.
Kind regards,
Matt Gumbley
