Can someone PLEASE tell me how to upload frequencies to this radio? I have been trying for hours, and hours, and hours.....
Thank you
Thank you
Personally I think CHIRP is a PITA. I used the "BaoFeng VIP Software" which I believe is designed for the BF-F8HP but is named on my computer as programming software for the UV-5R. You can find it here: BaoFeng Tech BF-F8HP - USA's Best Source for New BaoFeng Pofung RadiosGoogle search for CHIRP is the easiest way to do it & its free.
What have you been using? Keypad? Software? A little more detail would be helpful.Can someone PLEASE tell me how to upload frequencies to this radio? I have been trying for hours, and hours, and hours.....

Shademan,Thanks to all...sorry I should have provided more info...guess I was just frustrated. I did purchase the cable; I did install CHIRP and get the right driver in...I did get the FRS, MURS, frequencies but can't seem to get anything else in...ie, EMS channels for where I live. I did get the frequencies off radioreference and saved them as a .csv file but can't import them back as a .img in CHIRP. I'm sure I am doing something wrong...but I don't know what...can someone please help. I am new to all this!
1. If all you have for a selection is UV-3R, then you have a very-very-very old version of CHIRP that doesn't support the UV-5R. You need to download and instal the latest CHIRP daily build that is compatible with your operating system.Thanks...I saved the new frequencies as a .csv file; named the file Baofeng UV-5R Revised; tried to import it as a .img if I tell it it is a UV3R (in reality it is a GT3) it will import it as a .img but when you try to upload it to the radio it defaults to the UV3R and the error "radio did not ACK first command" appears. This same error came when I originally started working with this radio and I changed it to a UV5R and that error disappears. However, if I change the file to a UV5R instead of the UV3R the file I am trying to import comes up with all ERROR codes. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
