One set has adapters for most radios. Works well with Chirp. 2020/04/29, 3:07 pm - Johan ZS1I: Keverne John ZS1ZR and Francois ZS1Q might be interested. 2020/04/29, 3:38 pm - Keverne Thurling ZS1ABU George: Looks like the one for the Boafeng. I can let them loan it and return when finished. I have Chirp files with all repeaters and simplex channels, Also have Chirp Layout of you want to work AMASATs. 2020/04/29, 3:40 pm - Johan ZS6IW Dennotter: Is it possible to send the files to my email Any costs involved 73 2020/04/29, 3:40 pm - Johan ZS6IW Dennotter: Battle to get chirp working on win 10 2020/04/29, 3:42 pm - Keverne Thurling ZS1ABU George: Email is free, can I use the email on SARL. 2020/04/29, 3:46 pm - Johan ZS6IW Dennotter: Not member of Sarl zs6iw.Jw@gmail.com 2020/04/29, 3:46 pm - Keverne Thurling ZS1ABU George: I can't really comment on how to fix it, but the recomendations I have seen is don't use the drivers that comes with the interface, let windows detect and install. I have just been lucky in that the ones I have have always worked. 2020/04/29, 3:47 pm - ZS1CQ Corrie Kreef: Ek het a poking een maar kry hom nie om te werk met chirp .water dryer moet ek he 2020/04/29, 3:52 pm - Keverne Thurling ZS1ABU George: Done, Sent you a copy of my UV5R radios, 2020/04/29, 3:52 pm - Johan ZS6IW Dennotter: Thanks a million 2020/04/29, 3:58 pm - Keverne Thurling ZS1ABU George: I'm not sure if you have used chirp before, but you know not to use these files as is, its better to clone from your radio first, save a copy, then cut and paste the info from my file or just input the info by typing it in. In that why you retain all the settings info from your radio. Just a tip that you could already know. 2020/04/29, 4:08 pm - Johan ZS6IW Dennotter: both files r corrupt or only opens by the program but thanks any way not at home now to use program 2020/04/29, 4:32 pm - Keverne Thurling ZS1ABU George: Yes, if you try and open them by double clicking, it will give you an err as the file extention is .img. Windows sees it as a corrupt disk image file. You have to open it from within Chirp. 2020/04/29, 4:58 pm - Keverne Thurling ZS1ABU George: Corrie, Iike I said, I've not encounted a problem with the two I have. But from what I have read about others that have a problem with the driver, is that you should let Windows decide. But if the incorrrect one is already installed, you apparently uninstall the driver with the Universal Serial Bus controller removed, then plug in again. Mine has the FTDI CHIP and the standard Windows USB to Serial Bus controller driver works. See, if nothing goes wrong, you learned nothing. 2020/04/29, 6:01 pm - ZS1CQ Corrie Kreef: Running win7 maybe should use my win10
