<p>I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't just a UV-82 or UV-5R in a different case. Baofeng is well known for this sort of repackaging. Try the both models and report back.</p>

<ul></ul><p>I tried all the available models on the daily build and none of them worked even though it looked like a UV5R.</p>
<p>The Baofeng software did work though. <a href="http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=292">http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=292</a></p>

<p>Use the attached uv5r.py file just to see if it will read the data from your radios. Here's how you do it.</p>
<ol>
<li>save the uv5r.py file to where you normally save your CHIRP .img files</li>
<li>click Help and enable "Enable Developer Functions"</li>
<li>click File then click Load Module then load the uv5r.py file saved in step 1</li>
</ol>
<p>Once the module is loaded, then download from the radio using the UV-5R model selection. If you are successful at downloading from your radio, then save the download to a .img file and attach it here so I can examine it.</p>
<p>Loading this driver does not alter your CHIRP installation. If you close CHIRP, then you will have to load the module again to do further testing.</p>

<ul></ul><p>Hello Jim,</p>
<p>I did just received my radio and now I'm having the same problem. :)</p>
<p>I tried your file with the the latest daily build without success. I did however get another error message:<br>
"ERROR: Clone failed: Incorrect 'Model' selected."</p>
<p>Another note is that if I try to clone the radio with model "UV-B5" selected I get: "ERROR: Clone failed: Radio did not ack programming mode".<br>
Don't know if that might help.</p>
<p>Any other things that I can try or help with?</p>

<ul></ul><p>Emil,</p>
<p>Load CHIRP<br>
Load module<br>
Attempt download<br>
Close CHIRP</p>
<p>Then get and attach the debug.log file.</p>

<ul></ul><p>I just found out that the BF-A58 is a radio with 3 power levels so it needs to be moved from UV-5R class to the BF-F8HP class.</p>

<p>Many thanks for your help. You are right about that the radios has 3 power levels.<br>
I had to make some changes today however, but I can't get the latest daily builds to work.</p>
<p>I have tried both 20150702 and 20150623 with the same result. I'm just getting "ERROR: Radio did not respond" trying with both UV-5R and BF-F8HP.<br>
I'm also getting some python tracebacks however that I suppose can be the problem.</p>
<p>I'm attaching the debug-log here (Started chirp with "python2 ./chirpw --log ./20150702.log -v").</p>
<p>The 20150607 version works fine with the UV-5R driver anyways.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Emil</p>

<ul></ul><p>Emil,</p>
<p>There is nothing useful in this debug.log file. You must cause the error, then close CHIRP and finally grab the debug.log file.</p>
<p>A "Radio did not respond" error is usually an indication that the 2-pin plug is not fully engaged into the socket.</p>

I must have mixed the debug-logs in some way. My bad.</p>
<p>The radio is using a new motorola-like multi-pin programming cable, so I'm pretty sure that there are no connection problems.<br>
I have also tried the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>Download from radio with 20150607. Works fine. Closing application</li>
<li>Started 20150702, does not work.</li>
<li>Started 20150607, still working.</li>
</ol>
<p>But as I said last time, I think the Python tracebacks are the most interesting.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<ul></ul><p>Emil,</p>
<p>When it was discovered that the BF-A58 radio had three power levels instead of 2, it was mistakenly moved to the Intek KT-980HP model instead of the BF-F8HP model.</p>
<p>I will submit a patch to move it to the correct model.</p>

<p>The patch has been submitted. The next daily build should allow you to use the BF-F8HP model selection.</p>
<p>In the mean time, to get support for 3 power levels, you should be able to use the 20150702 daily build and choose the Vendor: Intek and Model: KT-980HP.</p>

<ul></ul><p>I have a Baofeng UV-82wp, which seems similar to the BF-A58. Firmware version number is nt5101. I want to use chirp, but this neither model appears on the list. I tried all the ones listed and get an error message (radio did not respond). ...any ideas?</p>

<ul></ul><p>This radio does not report the firmware version that CHIRP requires to keep the user from cross-loading other Baofeng image files into this radio. Unfortunately CHIRP cannot accept an image with 14 hex 0xFF characters or the firmware version. Sorry.</p>
