CHIRP

BTW, radio firmware ver is BFB251

I have the exact same problem. BFB251, Mac OS Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Using Chirp daily 20120424.
Any help?

Unfortunately, I cant find debug.log. What is the path for Mac OS?

it's in your .chirp folder under your home folder
You'll have to reproduce the issue right before uploading, per the procedure

The debug log is cleared every time you start chirp, so the procedure for getting a usable log is:

1. Start chirp
2. Reproduce the failure or bug
3. Close chirp
4. Copy and send the debug.log before starting chirp again

On the Mac platform, your debug log should be in your home directory, in .chirp/debug.log. If you don't know how to find this, open up a terminal window and run the following command at the prompt:

cp ~/.chirp/debug.log ~/Desktop
Then close the terminal window. The debug.log file will be on your desktop.

I'm just another user, figured I would lend a hand with the debug log procedure =)

I have a UV-5RA (next model up) Firmware BFB293 and have no issues with the last daily, 20130218.. haven't tried todays yet.

I think, you are right about cable. For the translation, please, send a link with manual and strings. I will try my best to prepare it.

I created #609 with details about adding a Russian translation.
