Wasn't sure how to contact the admins,but I wanted to tell you about a radio you don't have listed and what I did with your software to program it. I just bought a new Pofung(Baofeng) Model P52UV. I didn't see it listed under Pofung or Baofeng so I wasn't sure what driver to use. Somehow it must be connected to the Baofeng UV-5R because that's how I came across it on eBay and doing Google searches resulted in queries for the UV5R. I took my best guess to try and see if one of the drivers would work and on the first try I got it. I used the driver for the Baofeng BF-F8HP. I was able to program everything in to it including CTCSS and DTMF tones and tested it. Everything seems to be working just fine. Just wanted to let you know in case anyone else comes across the model so you can update your database and homepage where the index is found. There is also a predecessor to the model I have which is the P51UV. I'm pretty sure the same driver would apply to this earlier model too. Hope this info is helpful to you!...Joshua Ainsworth N4TKR

Assuming menu 2 (TXP) only has 2 choices: HIGH and LOW, the better choice would be UV-5R. Also since the keypad layout is similar to that of a UV-82 (zero key in the bottom row like a telephone), the menus are probably similar to that of a UV-82 style radio, so there may be some discrepancies between some settings, some settings don't work and some that are missing.
It might be possible to update the driver to directly support this radio without a developer actually having possession of the radio. If you would provide a list of the 40, 41 or 42 menus and the choices available for each, I could take a look at coming up with a modified driver for you to test. Probably the simplest thing for you to do would be to compare the menus of your radio to these "Detailed Menu Reference":https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_MenuDef.php documents and determine which one matches your radio (or mostly matches and mention what the differences are).
