CHIRP

Hello,

In many places I've seen that CHIRP can be used with Baofeng UV-8HX radio but:

1.- I cannot see this model in the menu for Baofeng

2.- No matter which model I select it always fail.

From console output:

[...]
User selected Baofeng UV-5R on port /dev/ttyS0
Clone thread started

Radio did not respond
Sending Magic: 000: 50 bb ff 01 25 98 4d 00 P...%.M.

Radio did not respond

RadioError: Radio did not respond¶

Clone failed: Radio did not respond
Clone thread ended
--- Exception Dialog: Radio did not respond ---

None¶

[...]

For other models I've got:

[...]
Clone failed: Radio did not ACK first command
[...]

So far I've used two different radios and three different cables.

Please let me know if you need me to test anything or provide you with further information.

Thanks and best regards,

Fernando.
