Can I use chirp to program as with th uv 5 Ra.
1371618
Yes. That is what I used and it is much easier than using the vendor software.
1371619
Yes, Chirp will work,,,but I used the Baofeng sofware, also install the USB Driver

Yes you can use CHIRP. It supports the radio also beofeng software works as well. Dont forget to install the USB cable driver software.

I believe the current firmware on our UV-5R radios is BFS311, as checked in the CHIRP software.

As far as I know you can not scan any channels using the manual or key stroke mode. The only way you can is to reprogram the radio using Baofeng's provided software. I have done this many times and it's not that difficultonce you get the hand of it.

You can program the BaoFeng UV-3R to use offsets for repeaters. You might use CHIRP or the BaoFeng software. Either should work. The programing cable maybe purchased from Amazon.com for around $10.00.Since it is a Dual band (2m and 70cm) the offset will be different. 2m will be +-600khz and 70cm will be -5Mhz. The only real limitation is the number of memory channels. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, worked for me very well, and more than that - i developed custom application that will detect spectrum changes (new transmissions).But decoding complex signals probably will have problems, Raspberry CPU power is limited.

I don't know how to prove it. The cable I received does work for my purpose (using Chirp to program my Baofeng HT). That's all I know.

I have two UV-5rax+ radios and it works well with them. I have not tested it on a UV-5ra, but it should since they are from the same family.Do realize that this cable and several others use an older USB to Serial converter chip that Win 7 will not work with if you let Win 7 update the driver. Disconnect from the Internet and then use the CD to install the driver. The cable will work fine. Just remember to disconnect from the Internet before you plug the cable into the computer and it works well. My radios did not require me to trim the plug.

I can't answer the question about the programming cable. You might check in with some of the Amateur Radio sites, such as QRZ.com. You might also try Google for other ham radio sites. Usually I get questions about the software supplied with the radio as the problem. If that's the case, check with a site that offers CHIRP. I used their programming software for a UV-5R radio I purchased. I'm certain that you'll find an answer with a little searching.

No! You must purchase the programming cable (which most of them come with software and drivers, but I have had no luck with the included software or drivers)-some of these come with the software however most have found that it does not work-most have searched the internet and downloaded software called "Chirp" this software seems to work with most all radios on the market. be warned that the programming cables don't seem to work with Window 8

It came with a disk that had the drivers on it, however none of them worked with my HP computer running Win7. I went to the net to find one that did. It did NOT have the programming software on it for the Baofeng UV-5R so I went to the Baofeng website and downloaded the program "UV5R_64ON.exe" which serves the purpose. Another website is http://www.miklor.com. It has all kinds of info on it. One other program to use is"CHIRP". It is also a free download. I hope this helps. Bob

Yes you can. The current stable build version of CHIRP is 4.1. 4.1 does not support the TH-9800 but the daily build (beta of the next update) does support the TH-9800. So use the daily build for now and the next stable build 4.2 will likely have support for TH-9800

We use RT Systems to program all of our Chinese radios for ham radio use, which can easily copy and paste from a UV-82 to a UV-5R (or back). You can use it as well, or get two different versions of VIP (Baofeng software) to do it, or use Chirp. Short answer, yes, it can be done.

Yes. I didn't need it to program tho. Just use cable. Radio. And free programming software

Not without some relatively serious research and programming. From what I have ready, typically each manufacturer uses their own system of privacy codes or digital squelch. With the BaoFeng radios, you CAN program this with lots of options, but it is not trivial because you need to first find out how Motorola implements their privacy codes and then find out how to match these settings with something like CHIRP programming interface. Probably not worth it.

Yes, but is is not the best.I would try http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-MenuDef.html

Easy with cable + CHIRP opensource software. More difficult if you use keypad plus cant set alphanumeric labels w/o software. Ive heard people bitch and moan about programming the uv-5r but i found it incredibly easy, just like the Technical ham radio test.

I'm on Mavericks 10.9.5. From all of the things I've seen online, what I used should work for you too. 1 - Search and install "KK7DS Python runtime". This allows the chirp program to work properly.2 - Search for and install chirp-0.4.1. Chirp is the software that allows you to configure your radio.3 - Search for and install "osx-pl2303-installer.pkg". You might get taken to a onedrive account, but it's safe. This is the software that allows the cable to work.I hope this helps.
