Hi and happy new year,

i bought a programming cable from BAOFENG via amazon.

I use the correct COM Port and the correct Model-Type "GT-3WP".

But unfortunately i always get the error: "Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want".

Does anybody knows a solution (or workaround) for the problem?

73, Burkhard

Also, make sure the volume control is wide open since the programming signals go
through that control.

If it came with a CH341 driver, it is likely a WCH CH340/CH341 chip. You can usually determine which chip is in the programming cable by using the Windows Device Manager app. However I have seen Windows incorrectly load and try to use the Prolific driver when a WCH chip is present. This can be avoided by manually installing the WCH driver. Except for RT Systems, I don't recommend using the driver CD that comes with a programming cable. Many times it comes on a homemade CD with a bunch file for which the source is unknown (and a high probability of malware being found if it is scanned using an anti-virus program). What I recommend is to download any drivers that are needed from the chip vendor's website. The Miklor radio information website has links to all of the major USB-to-Serial chip vendors (FTDI, Silicon Labs, Prolific and WCH).



Now that I know that Windows can get it wrong, I am in the habit of manually installing the latest drivers (except for Prolific I install the v4.3.0.0 driver) from each chip vendor before I plug in the first USB chip based programming cable.

If you have already installed the WCH CH340/CH341 driver and verified with Device Manager it is loading, then you most likely have an incomplete connection between the? 2-pin plug of the programming cable and the speaker/mic connector of the radio. To understand why I am saying this, leave the 2-pin plug unconnected with the radio and attempt a download. The same "Radio did not respond" error will be encountered. Double-double check that you are getting the plug fully inserted in the socket. I can remember when I would swear that my programming cable was fully inserted into my UV-82 and it wouldn't work. I eventually wiggled and pressed the plug and was dumbfounded when it finally snapped in the rest of the way. Some have been known to have to put pressure on the plug during the cloning process.

I've read that knockoffs of the Prolific chip won't work with the Prolific
driver. The REAL ones will work.

I've used one of those cheap "Octopus" (multiple connector tips) types with the
CH341 driver on a Baofeng UV-5R, and it worked fine (finding the correct driver
was an issue, though). I also have a cable with an FDTI chip that gave me no
problem.

People generally have the least amount of problems with cables that have the
FDTI chip.

The error is "Radio did not respond" when it attempts a handshake.

That shouldn't matter. It is more likely that something else changed (cable connection, driver compatibility, etc).

Which chip is in your programming cable (Prolific, FTDI, Silicon Labs, WCH)?
What is the exact error message?

I find CHIRP will no longer recognize my UV5R once it has been “unlocked” - is there a work-around?

Yes, I am aware of the FCC regulations - no need to comment on that aspect.

The call sign helps us know where you're from, and that you're a licensed ham
radio operator. It's not an absolute requirement but it's nice to know more
about our members.

Sometimes it comes in handy knowing where you're from. If you were asking about
a certain part for a radio in a repair forum, we would try to find a source
close to your QTH to avoid expensive shipping costs. It also would help in some
groups to know that you're not a CB-er wanting to put a 100W HF radio on the
citizens band. We probably wouldn't help you do that.

I'll take the freedoms we have with Windows, with it's occasional hiccups (since
they don't have control over software or driver development like Apple) over the
MAC (and Android over iOS). (If you really like freedom and don't need any guard
rails, and don't mind crashing and burning sometimes, try Linux!!!)

Most times, things work. Sometimes we have some software or driver installed
that interferes with another item. Most of the time it comes back to bad or
sloppy code written by someone.

(Microsoft does have its share of issues, like reassigning COM ports with
Windows Updates, and a few other things like trying to get you to keep the Edge
browser.)

Glad you got it sorted out, though. I have used both CHIRP and RT software. RT's
software seems more refined, but I would bet it's based on CHIRP, or was
inspired by it.

Hi Donald,

I tried increasing the volume and it seems to work.? It's a little buggy. When I'm done u/l to the radio, it shuts off automatically.? I'm not sure if that's the way it's supposed to work, but all of the memories got programmed.? I haven't tried to d/l the memories to the computer.? I'll wait until it's necessary.? I had the computer volume turned pretty high (85) and I turned it to 96, so maybe that was the difference.? The radio has pretty good output, so I just increased it 1/16 of a turn higher.? When this is working, it is a lot easier to add memories to the radio!!

Thanks for your help,
Bob

Do you have the volume control turned all the way up? Most of these program
through the volume control, and if it's not turned all the way up, it may not
get the data through.

It should be the same way for either direction, though, so unless you turned it
down after downloading data from it, it should be at the same setting for
downloading the data as well as uploading it.

Anyone have any experience programming the FT 1500?? I can download from the radio, but when I u/l to the radio, it doesn't transfer correctly.? CHIRP says my radio is supported, any ideas?
Tnx

Bill,

Thank you for your reply. It worked like a charm, now to figure out how to use the new radio!!

The tyt-9800, no “d” is listed as a supported radio at chirp.danplanet.com. Try uploading from your tyt-9800d using that model, and if that works, SAVE A COPY OF THE EMPTY RADIO, then copy the data across from the other radio tab, and download to the tyt-9800. Save this file under a new name.

You can't likely use CHIRP to upload to the TYT. Unless the TYT is close enough
to another TYT that CHIRP supports.

What you may be able to do is to open both programs, and copy and paste rows
from CHIRP into the program used by TYT. That will work well if all the fields
are the same. If not, you may have to copy and paste sections at a time,
possibly filling in some fields manually.

Hello Everyone,

I'm a relatively new ham and I purchased TYT TH-9800D as a mobile and base unit. I have frequencies stored in my Baofeng UV5R that I would like to upload to my TH-9800. After a lot of searching, I got the programming cable and driver working for the 9800D. I imported the frequencies from my UV5 into CHIRP without any problems. I then go to "Upload to Radio" and the 9800 does not show in the CHIRP list.

I am able to use the 9800 software to query the radio and read what is on the radio (see my attachment). So I know the cable works. So my question is how can I use CHIRP to upload the frequencies if it doesn't recognize that the radio is there? Or is there a way to import the CHIRP file into the TH-9800 software and then upload the file to the radio?

Hopefully, someone else has had this issue and it's an easy fix!!

?

Thank you,
Warren "Doc" Mack

But, this list is a very small subset of ham-related IO groups. When you search for Ham Radio, you get 552 groups. When you search for Amateur Radio, you get 1,746 groups! There are groups here for everyone—search by manufacturer, radio model, antenna types, operating modes, clubs, etc. You will be surprised

By quoting the entire list people may not have seen your comments at the bottom,
so I'll mention this:

The list we send out monthly is only the groups we administrate. There are of
course many other special-interest groups.

There are possibly many among us who aren't very familiar with groups.io and
it's group search feature. I encourage those to use that group search feature to
find radio-specific groups (or radio brand specific groups). Sometimes a general
interest group like amateur-repairs would be your best bet if you're trying to
repair a radio. That group has a lot of members, and if you can't find a
specific group for your radio that needs to be repaired, this is a good place to
see if you can get some help.

There are some others, too, worth joining. Just search for your interests and
join the ones you feel may be helpful.
