CHIRP

Kees,

There is a chance that the correct Vendor/Model choice for this radio is actually Radioddity/UV-82X3. Give it a try and report back. If it works the Supported Radio Models list needs updated. If it doesn't work, please attach 2 clean debug.log files. One created with the BF-A58S selection and 1 with the UV-82X3 selection.

To create a clean debug.log file...

1 close CHIRP
2 open CHIRP
3 cause error
4 close CHIRP

Thanks,
Jim KC9HI

Hi Kees,

Thanks for the debug.log file. You tried BF-A58S and UV-82III which are technically the same. That was my fault because I wasn't clear enough on the second model to try. The Baofeng UV-82X3 that I want you to try is listed under the Vendor Radioddity.

What I need you to try the following and add a clean debug.log if it doesn't work...

Vendor: Radioddity
Model: UV-82X3

Hello Kees, the log suggests that there's a connection problem with your Baofeng radio: the radio doesn't appear to hear what Chirp tells it. This may be a mechanical issue, such as the connector not being fully seated. Try to push it in harder, or to press it at an angle while doing the data transfer. Some users reported that they have to shave off some of the plug housing so that it can reach deeper into the radio.

Hello Bernahard,
You are right, it was the connection. Thanks very much.
