If your programming cable has a Prolific type USB-to-TTL chip in it, then downgrade the automatically installed Windows driver to v3.2.0.0 per the guide on the "Miklor":http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php website. The majority of the programming cables that have these chips are not compatible with the latest driver. No programming software will work until the programming cable is operating properly.

the programming cable is a genuine FTDI cable. I have programmed other UV5 R using this cable and chirp software. when turning on the radio while pressing 3 brings up BFB297. I still get this error message "radio refused to send block code 0x1ec0"
Updated by Axel Smith almost 10 years ago
I receive this same error code on chirp-daily-20150210 with 2 different cables (FTDI and Prolific) and 2 different u5vr radios. On 0.4.1, I get this error 'radio refused to send block code 0x0000'. This is on a mac. Also tried on a VM with windows xp and the live cd. Radios were just purchased...

Just got a new UV-5RV3+ which has firmware BFB297. Using Windows 7 64bit. Using Prolific type cable. Latest chirp-daily-20150210 software. Getting the same error from chirp. "Radio refused to send block 0x1ec0"
Will be watching this bug for updates. Also I'm willing to do any debugging you would like me to do to help solve this problem.

I'm in the exact same situation. I have twenty "new" Baofengs (BFB297) and each of them are giving me this error... it only happens with the new ones from Amazon, none of my older ones with the same firmware version.

Hi, I have the same issue, with my older radios working and the error with the newer radios. All radios are BFB297.
I sniffed the serial traffic and here is the output in hex values. I did the tests multiple times and the outputs are the same.
Each line is corresponding to the packet sniffed.
READ command with WORKING RADIO:¶

I do not know the packet structures, but my quick guess is that the packets are not sent at the same intervals than previous radios for some reason.
Maybe the code is miss reading the packet when waiting for the "1E C0", because the "1E C0" seems to be received from the radio.
I hope it will help you.

This is not a Windows specific issue. Running on Ubuntu 12.x the cable works fine with programming on my friend's Baofeng, however I get the same error code with the current latest daily build 20150301.

This issue is frustrating beyond all get-out. I am likely going to return these UV-5Rs and move to a 5R+ or other variation.
Did everyone on here purchase within the last 30 days or so from Amazon?

I purchased 3 UV-5Rs (in one order) from Amazon about 2 weeks ago. 2 of them worked with Chirp and 1 did not. I sent that 1 back and Amazon promptly replaced it. Alas, the replacement does not work with Chirp either :(
I am able to program the radio using the OEM software, as suggested earlier, but it is soooo much more trouble than Chirp.
I should also mention I ordered 2 BaoFeng BF-F8HPs from Amazon in mid-February and they both work fine with Chirp!
I would be happy to send my Chirp incompatible unit to one of the developers if that would help with troubleshooting.
Updated by Jim Unroe almost 10 years ago
A local ham loaned me his radio that has this issue. I have made serial captures of the transfer using the OEM software. I have not been able to determine what is causing the problem.
The one thing I have been able to determine, at least for the radio I have, is that the firmware version is N5R-219, which is not the most recent firmware version.

I also recently received (1 week) two UV-5R radios with BFB297. Initially I could not get my Generic USB Cable to work, so I returned it and got an actual Baofeng brand USB Cable. The drivers from Milkor.com worked fine and I am using the 3.2.0.0 Driver on a Window 7 (64bit)OS.
The Baofeng Software that came with the USB cable works but it is so limited and importing tables is non-existent as best I can tell. Wonder what Baofeng could have changed to cause this?
The problem comes in with the CHIRP daily-20150301. I get "Radio refused to send block 0x1ec0". I really was looking forward to using CHIRP instead of "fat fingering" everything.
New to forum.... any help much appreciated.

I am having the same problem with the radios that I got from Amazon. I got a total of 4 UV-5r three with firmware BFB297 do not work with Chirp. The one with firmware BFS297 firmware works with Chirp. The Chirp software is installed on my MAC.
Updated by Chad Smith almost 10 years ago
I have two that work and one that wont. According to Power-on+3, they are all 3 @ BFB297.
Updated by mike wick almost 10 years ago
Greetings,
I have 2 UV-5R radios with firmware BFB297 that do not seem to want to download to chirp as well.
- Downloaded latest build CHIRP daily-20150306 (and last night daily-20150305).
- Using Baofeng branded cable with prolific driver 3.2.0.0.
- Download settings (com3, Baofeng, UV-5R) radio volume set to max.
- When I click OK, activity light on radio goes red shortly then to green, radio reboots and I get dialog box "An error has occured Radio refused to send block 0x1ec0".
- Without disconnecting the radio I start baofeng UV-5R Series Program Software to successfully read radio.
- While baofeng software is reading, red activity light on radio blinks, then radio reboots after read is complete.
- I changed a couple of settings in the baofeng program software and successfully write them to the radio.
- While baofeng software is writing, green activity light on radio blinks, then radio reboots after write is complete.
My conclusion is that my cable is working correctly as it can read and write to the radio with baofeng software. I would really love to use chirp to program my radios and would like to help test any potential fixes for what looks like an issue with firmware BFB297.

Same problem here with the error when working with CHIRP, using the "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port" cable and 3.2.0.0 driver. The Baofeng software can read/write perfectly.
The error:
An Error Has Occurred
Radio refused to send block 0x0000 (Does this mean it's not sending data at all?)
The LED only lights up green for a second, and then the radio reboots. Is this the cable's problem or CHIRP's?
Updated by Chris R almost 10 years ago
Hi all,
I too am having the same issue. I bought one of the prolific cables and was getting 0x0000. I purchased an FTDI one and same problem. This was with stable build. I downloaded the daily build hoping it would work for me since the stable is a few months old and the code changed to 0x1ec0. I also bought the radio this past week.
If I had to guess (new to the forum and to chirp) the problem is in the UV5r.py read block command, line 433...which really means "if len(answer) !=4" is true in line 404. Maybe baofeng did a firmware swap messing with the expected block.
My radio is BFB297 and S/N 13U1001272.
This is a pretty cool piece of software. I'll try to set up a linux box and check out the repository.
73 and good luck!
Updated by Jeremy Vinding almost 10 years ago
Also occurs on Mac with both FTDI and Prolific cables
also with BFB297
Let me know if I can give you any information that would be helpful.
Updated by Jim Unroe almost 10 years ago
Yes. It is a problem with the radio. It doesn't matter which OS, programing cable or driver you are using.
Jim KC9HI
Updated by Robert Meredith almost 10 years ago
I'm having this same issue with 2 new UV5Rs. Both are running BFB297 firmware. I'm running the lastest stable build, not daily. I'm using a and Prolific cable (3.2.0 driver). On CHIRP 0.4.1, I get this error 'radio refused to send block code 0x0000'. The radio then reboots automatically. I've successfully programmed both radios using the same cable and same computer - using the Baofeng VIP software (which sucks).
Updated by Jim Unroe almost 10 years ago
First... Please do not use the CHIRP v0.4.x stable build for Baofeng radios. It is nearly 1 year old and is no longer compatible with the currently shipping radios.
Second... Unless your radio is about 2 years old, it does not have BFB297 firmware. All firmware versions since BFB297 report BFB297 in the [3] + Power-on message. The "real" firmware version can only be determined by using CHIRP (Settings -> Other Settings -> Firmware Message 1).
Here is a patched file that was started Mathiew Rozen. It had some issues with previously supported radios so I modified it to improve compatibility with them.
I need this to be tested by some of you before I formally submit it to be included in CHIRP.
To test please
Save the uv5r.py from this issue page somewhere on your pc (click on the file link and on the following page use download link)¶
Install last CHIRP daily build¶
Load CHIRP¶
Click Help in the menu bar and enable "Enable Developer Functions"¶
Click File -> Load Module and load the file that was saved earlier¶
Then use Chirp as usual.
The last step must be repeated every time you start Chirp to select the modified module. Otherwise the stock one will be used. No permanent modification of the CHIRP install will be done.
Please test not only the radios that have the "Radio refused to send block 0x1ec0" issue, but also ones that used to work (to make sure they still do).
Please report the radio's Model number, "real" Firmware version and Success/Failure of this module. The faster we can get some favorable reports back, the sooner this patch can be submitted to be included into a CHIRP daily build.
Jim KC9HI
Updated by Jeremy Vinding almost 10 years ago
Success! My radio was one that failed wit "0x1ec0", I have no other radios to test with.
Model: UV-5RV3+
"Real" Firmware: N5R2401
CHIRP: chirp-daily-20150312.app
Thanks very much!
Updated by Robert Meredith almost 10 years ago
I tried this on a radio that was receiving the "0x1ec0" error.
- Installed daily build using chirp-daily-20150312-installer.exe
- Downloaded the uv5r.py file (above) and loaded it per instructions
- Connected a UV5R (N5R-219 firmware) w/ a Prolific cable (PL-2303 XA/HXA chip, 3.4.67.325 driver)
- Downloaded config from radio SUCCESSFULLY
- Made changes to config and uploaded to radio SUCCESSFULLY
I also verified this works w/ the same hardware except using the 3.2.0 driver as noted in my first post.
Updated by Rodney Pierce almost 10 years ago
First I would like to thank Jim KC9HI. I was able to get the software installed and running. I noticed that I had to load the uv5r.py module twice.(even after the screen showed the .py settings) Maybe it was just me.
The other thing that happened was after a cut and paste of some NOAA bands into my current band plan the Chirp Software crashed with no reported error and Windows requested a chance to fix the error.??? (not likely)
Over all I was able to get my UV-5R programed with no other problems. Wow at least I can use the software. Using Windows 7 (64bit). On a scale 1-10 I give it a 8. Thanks Again.

Using today's daily build (20150316)…
With patch: "Incorrect 'Model' selected." error. (Followed by a reboot.)
Without patch: "Incorrect 'Model' selected." error. (Followed by a reboot.)
Just for the heck of it, I left the UV5R connected and selected BF-888 from the drop down. Got the expected "No response from radio." error. (With or without the patch.)
But patch or no patch, an actual BF-888S still works fine.

I think Baofeng has slipped in a new firmware version that CHIRP doesn't know about. Provide a debug.log for us to look at. Andy had the same thing. If that is the case, I will have you start another issue.

Jim KC9HI

Well, after conferring with Jim, (thanks again Jim!), it looks like the UV-5R I received from Amazon had gotten a bad firmware flash from the factory. This is what is keeping Chirp from recognizing the radio. So back it goes!
Cheers everyone!,

Updated by Jim Unroe almost 10 years ago
Phil,
I wonder if your radio has the same issue as Ken's. The area that CHIRP uses to detect the radio has no data. The debug.log file that he email to me pretty much showed there was no data but is was later confirmed when he email a .img file that we coaxed out of the radio.

Hi. New to this site, new to Ham radios, so please be gentle if I don't follow proper protocol for this message forum. I am currently taking a course at my college to learn the things I need to know for my Technician and (hopefully also) General licenses. Don't have them yet.
Just received my new brand Baofeng UV-5R from Amazon yesterday. Finished charging, so went online to download CHIRP. I assume it's the latest daily version (it says CHIRP 0.4.1 GTK 2.24.10 PyGTK 2.24.0 Python 2.7.2 in the Help/About box). The USB cable wasn't recognized, so downloaded 3.2.0.0 from miklor.com and installed it via the instructions. It's installed now and using 3.2.0.0 (verified) on COM5. I followed the CHIRP instructions, and get the Cloning message, followed by "Radio refused to send block 0x0000", the blinking lights and reboot of the radio follow.
Power 3 gives: Ver. BFB297
Power 6 gives: 150110N
I cannot find the "settings" option mentioned above that is supposed to give me the "real" version number.
I downloaded the uv5r.py file recommended at the top of this post, but when I try to load the module, I get the error message: Unable to load module: cannot import name RadioSettings
I'd be happy to help troubleshoot, send logs, etc., but I have no idea how to find them or where to send them.
Thanks!

Will,
Nope. The CHIRP v0.4.1 stable build is one year old this month. You need to upgrade to a recent "daily build":http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/ which provides a fix for change in the cloning protocol that Baofeng made on a few of the most recent radios.

This is a problem with the radio, not CHIRP. The data required to identify which radio that the "image" came from is missing. CHIRP cannot be change to blindly upload image files to Baofeng radios because it is understood that uploading an incompatible image can cause undesired behavior.
You can either get the radio replaced or use the OEM software since it is not affected by this missing information.
This problem with the bland firmware version is unrelated to the original so I am closing this issue.

Charles,
Don't load the "uv5r.py" patch. You are just downgrading your Baofeng support to an older daily build version.
What happens when you use an clean install of the latest daily build?

Baofeng UV-5R with the message: Radio refused to send block 0x0000
Windows 7 and XP
BFB297
15031N
Profilic Driver 3200 and 4 versions
Profilic cable
Using the Baofeng programm, works fine.

Clecio,
Don't use the CHIRP v0.4.x stable build. As mentioned above, it is 16 months old. The problem that you are having was addressed earlier this year in a daily build. And that is why this issue is "closed".

I unlock my Baofeng UV-R5 with a old Chirp.
