Last night I tried to program the UV-5R-3 (tri-bander: 144, 220, 440 Mhz) radio with Chirp. Was not able to get the radio to talk to Chirp. Did confirm that my older UV-5R did allow Chirp to read the program I have in it.
So Chirp can read the older radio just fine.
I did the radio side plug mod of trimming the edge that plugs into the radio.
I tried to see if the UV-5X would read and it did not.
I tried a different brand and saw a mesage that the radio sent to much information, more than the make/model I selected should have. That tells me that the radio is trying to communicate with Chirp.
Any suggestions or is it that Chirp just does not have the software updated for this newer model?
