You need to use the specific software that is made for this radio. The problem is that the software that comes with it is not the right software. The other problem is that the drivers and software will not work with anything above Windows XP! You need to map a COMM port to a USB port. When you do so, it locks up all your USB ports and disables them. I remember having this exact same problem when we had to start using USB to serial converters to program CISCO routers. It locked them all up. I found this radio useless and un-programmable and have since gone back to using my Yaesu VX-7R. This radio now serves as a great paper-weight.

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

Mark, I believe Sirus is a pay for use product. The Grundig you are looking at is only AM/FM/Shorwave. You need a Sirus dedicated radio to receive paid programing.

There is an app that should make it work. But I have not tried it because it is complicated and I am having trouble just getting my radio to turn on and operate without static. This is the second one in 6 months. I get static 25% of the time even though it has full signal. Requires factory resets, lossing all memory settings, about once a week. This radio is crap. They have lowered the cost $100 to get rid of these turkeys. Get another brand. The logitech is far superior although the sound is not quite as good for a large room. I think they put cheap parts in and the engineering is just no good. Takes about 25 button pushes to set various sound perimeters so it does not sound like a bassy boom box. Sometimes you turn it on and all you get is an hourglass figure. Other times it turns on but there is no sound at all, just the album cover showing. Both the original and the replacement I got are defective.

I don't think so. The software locates it via wifi so you would need to be within range. There might be another way but someone else would have to explain. And. If the battery is dead then it wouldn't be chirping anyway.

The quick answer is check this setting, CHIRP Settings / Basic Settings / Display must be set to Name to view Alpha in the display. The long answer is you can find tons of info on setting up your radio and chirp at this link.http://www.miklor.com

I'm on Mavericks 10.9.5. From all of the things I've seen online, what I used should work for you too. 1 - Search and install "KK7DS Python runtime". This allows the chirp program to work properly.2 - Search for and install chirp-0.4.1. Chirp is the software that allows you to configure your radio.3 - Search for and install "osx-pl2303-installer.pkg". You might get taken to a onedrive account, but it's safe. This is the software that allows the cable to work.I hope this helps.

You do not need any software. All you need to do is to program your device and the radio on the same frequency. You are good to go.

Works just fine with Baofeng software. Let the cable install itself, do not use any USB cable drivers provided by Baofeng. Basically it will work with any programming software since the cable simply uses a USB-serial adapter. You choose the correct serial port inside the programming software, and you are good to go.

Both Factory and CHIRP programming software can be found at http://www.miklor.com/UV5R/The UV5R and A52 are the same radio with only cosmetic differences.http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/images/UV5R-Family.jpg

I found the same thing, the software is garbage. What you need to do is go online and download a software called "chirp" with this software you will be able to program your radio. Save the information on it as a file then enter in your information and upload to the radio and away you go.Best of luckKB1Jdi ( the jedi )

The radio no longer shows the Firmware version directly on the radio by using key combinations while turning it on. I have the latest nightly build of CHIRP and that doesn't display it either. --- If you have any specific ways to identify it, I will be happy to help.

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.

chirp will not work, the software for the radio is made for 4bands chirp dosent support that yet

They come programed out of the box so you do not need the software. Just make sure they are all on the same channel. The only time you would need the software is if you want to change the frequency.

I heard you have to enter the frequencies with a computer app. Do not know what it is.

You will not require software and the microphone, when working, is sensitive enough to pick up about anything. I have found it to be somewhat unreliable, but when it works, it works well.

Yes, worked for me very well, and more than that - i developed custom application that will detect spectrum changes (new transmissions).But decoding complex signals probably will have problems, Raspberry CPU power is limited.
