Hope this helps, it gave me troubles at first too. IF that happens, you must completely uninstall those drivers, delete them completely off your computer, and reinstall the one for you as listed on the link above. Most of the times problems with 'knockoff' cables, is that they will only work once or until windows does any updating, then windows will no longer recognize your cable (after an update, windows will know how to spot a 'knockoff').

*** Compatible the all firmware releases, but does not include the 'Other' tab that changesĪnd read carefully the page on compatible drivers for your programing cable. ** Capable of expanding TX programming to 520MHz & utilizing 16 Com Ports Try this link, read the page carefully and you will understand how to work around the issue with the two different radios, I think it is the firmware from what I've read but being new at this I'm not sure what I'm looking at.Probably. Their instructions and tutorials are complete, accurate, and easy to use. The Miklor site is the best bar non in working with the Baofeng radios. Save a copy on your computer, then switch firmware versions for the second radio and upload that to the radio. You MAY have to use the firmware release for one radio, use CHIRP to program it. If you go to the MIKLOR site, there are very good instructions on choosing the correct firmware dependent on what year the radio was manufactured.

Trying to figure out what I need to do to make them both talk, any help would be greatly appreciated.Īssuming you are using CHIRP to program them, you might be having a conflict with two different firmware versions. Then I checked the software on radios and found they don't match, my older one works and the newest one doesn't receive only sends.

I used the older radio to download from radio since it was already programed. I have (2) Baofeng UV-5R radios that wont talk, I used the CHIRP 04.1 to program them and it went thru but with an error.
