| 5 | 12 | John LaMartina | This page provides general tips and troubleshooting for the Baofeng UV-5R, UV-82, and related radios. The UV-5R is the base model for a lot of variants, so this page will apply to many more people than just those with that specific badge on their radio. This information is a summarized version of the Miklor page on the subject. Go there for "more detailed information":http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_ErrorMess.php |

| 15 | 2 | Dan Smith | This is a very common problem. Slightly offset audio jacks could be the problem. Make sure the connector is snapped in all the way. Some cables require a really hard push to snap in that last 1/16 inch. One indication is that the transmitter may be keyed. A slight trimming of the cable's plug side and edge may be required. |

| 17 | 19 | John LaMartina | The GT3 and similar radios with optional case designs may require a slightly different approach to trimming the cable. The cable cannot seat properly, not because it is misaligned, but rather the ridge on the case may be protruding out too far. |
| 18 | 21 | John LaMartina | The cable may still need to be trimmed, but from the cable tension area. Here is a "Graphic and Possible Solution":http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_ErrorMess.php#error1 |

| 21 | h3. - Error has Occurred, Could not open Com Port x |
||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | Each USB slot is connected to a separate com port to avoid conflict. Changing your USB slot will change the com port number. |
||
| 24 | After making this change, you must unplug and replug your USB programming cable for the new com port number to be effective. |

| 75 | 1 | Dan Smith | |
| 76 | 15 | John LaMartina | Many of the inexpensive programming cables are not the bargain they appear. |
| 77 | 13 | John LaMartina | Due to Prolific USB/Serial chip 'clones' found in generic USB programming cables, an older driver is required in lieu of the driver now automatically supplied by Windows. for "more detailed information":http://http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php |
