CHIRP

There's a chance that this radio can be programmed using this selection in Chirp:
Maker: Baofeng, Model: GT-5R
Please try this out and let us know what you find by commenting on this ticket. Thank you!

Could you please provide a debug log as described in the Wiki: "How To Report Issues"? Thanks!

Hello.

Thanks for the reply, and attach the debug.log file.

I have tried the CHIRP with all TYT types radio settings, but unfortunately none of them work with the CT590S.

The OEM software would not be a problem, the cable is a "Kenwood type cable", which is also using to programming the Baofeng, but unfortunately I can't give a radio. Otherwise, the radio menu is almost identical to the menu of the Baofeng UV-5R.

I didn't mean to infer that any of the TYT selections would work. The UV-5R has the zero key in the right column and the up/down keys in the top row. The CT590S has the zero key in the bottom row and the up/down keys in the right column like many TYT radios. So at first glance I would suspect it was a TYT variant.

However, now that I do see that the blue menu labels on the numeric keypad keys do match up with those of the UV-5R. That leaves being a related to that model still as a good possibility.
