Description
I recently bought the Baofeng UV-62 & have been trying to get it to communicate with the "Chirp" software but i keep get an error message of "Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want.".
I am using the UV-6R option to try to get it to download an image but i keep getting the message, The cable i am using is good i know because it works on my other radios (UV-5,UV-5R, UV-82, but not on thr UV-62.
Any help on this matter would be very much appreciated.

The UV-62 is not a CHIRP supported model. Have you tried the factory programming software?

I did a quick search for it but couldn't find it. That's why I have a personal policy to never purchase a radio unless I have the programming software already in my possession.
The Baofeng UV-6 (which is supported by CHIRP) is basically a UV-5R (VHF/UHF with 128 channels) with the LCD display and keypad removed. The UV-62 appears to be 16-channel UHF only model. It is most likely a variant of the BF-888s. I assume that you've already tried that, right? There isn't much more that can be done without access to the factory software.
I would recommend that you visit the official Baofeng website for the radio manufacturer in China ("Fujian Baofeng Electronics Co.":https://www.baofengradio.com/) and ask "Technical Support":https://www.baofengradio.com/pages/customer-service for the customer programming software for this model.
