How do you program this transceiver? Can you use Chirp and an aftermarket cable or do you have to buy the $40-50 OEM cable and software?

An aftermarket cable does with this radio just make sure you use the rolled back driver for the chinese non oem cables chirp has very limited coverage for it so i use the free kenwood software downloadable on their support site

I plan to purchase the OEM cable and disk, I use chirp with my other portable radio with some difficulity , chirp may work but it will be easier for me with the cable and disk supplied by Kenwood

It's very easy to program from the keypad and front controls. I didn't bother with using a cable or software.

Get a programing cable and DL chirp. The frequencies can be programed in what amounts to a spread sheet and uploaded to the radio. Once you have this you can simply put in the number of the pre programed channel you wish to use. It is actually rather easy to do. You must be in the programed channel mode and not in the direct frequency entry mode. To switch between the two turn off the radio, hold down the menu button and turn on the radio holding the menu button until the radio boots.

It has been a few months since I messed with the one I bought, I do know that you have to have some steps in assigning it a frequency. If you have not tried it yet, I would manual set up the same frequency matching the transmitter to receiver. If you have them both on the same frequency already, I can't help you. Hope this helps

Our replacement was the exact transmitter we had that went bad, but it did not come with any instructions. I got on the internet youtube and found a way to program it. We tried it several times and couldn't get it programed, so took it to the people that installed it our viper. They had wanted $70.00 to replace the transmitter, that's why we ordered it on Amazon. They programed it in less than 2 minutes, no charge. Works like brand new. I was told Best Buy will program them also. Hope this helps.

This is an amateur radio hand held transceiver. The frequency bands it operates on are 144-148 MHz and 440-448MHz. The problem I am having is that the software used to program the transceiver does not recognize the transceiver.

You can program the BaoFeng UV-3R to use offsets for repeaters. You might use CHIRP or the BaoFeng software. Either should work. The programing cable maybe purchased from Amazon.com for around $10.00.Since it is a Dual band (2m and 70cm) the offset will be different. 2m will be +-600khz and 70cm will be -5Mhz. The only real limitation is the number of memory channels. Hope this answers your question.

I don't know how to prove it. The cable I received does work for my purpose (using Chirp to program my Baofeng HT). That's all I know.

You can program the radio manually with the keypad. Either direct entry or scan a range of frequencies until the signal is found.

Yes. But you might need the assistance of a ham radio operator if you are not familiar with programming radios.Chirp is a software package. You do not need it if you are just programming a couple of channels.

You have to download the software from Baofeng site and use programming cable.In software is an option to make Channel A the default channel when you transmit.

Can't say. I haven't been able to get the software to work. The cable works, I can read what's in the HT, but haven't been able to get it to write anything. I am using the software on the website "chirp" so it should work.

install the correct drivers. If you attempted to install more then one driver, make sure you remove all previous installed drivers. http://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/1ycs7w/mac_os_x_programming_baofeng_uv5r_with_chirp/

The last time I checked, CHIRP did NOT work the TV-UG2. My radio came with software from the factory

This is the sites I used! Chirp program site = http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Wiki Sites to help with programming = http://www.baofengradio.com/en/services.asp To fix file above http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?Ext=LST http://www.miklor.com/ I have found this is a great radio. Very easy to program from computer with Chirp program. AJ

You need the pc sync cable and connect the transceiver with the pc sync to the camera body

I believe you have to take it to a dealer to be programmed. I googled how to do it and it wasn't working so that's what I did. Costed 40 bucks.
