I just purchased some Baofeng UV-3R radios and am unable to connect to them with chirp using OSX, so looking for some help with troubleshooting.
The error I get is the classic "Radio did not ACK first command". I have chirp working just fine with other chinese radios including BF-F8HP, BF-T1 and UV-9R. The BF-F8HP / UV-5R cable I have, and the UV-3R cable both appear to use the same Prolific chipset (the BF-T1 and UV-9R cables show up differently)... Under System Information / Hardware / USB: *BFF8-HP / UV-5R cable (two-pin)* USB-Serial Controller: Product ID: 0x2303 Vendor ID: 0x067b (Prolific Technology, Inc.) Version: 3.00 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/s Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.

Location ID: 0x14100000 / 4 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 100 Extra Operating Current (mA): 0 *BF-T1 cable (USB) & UV-9R (screw on pin connector)* (Both show up identically under USB settings) USB Serial: Product ID: 0x7523 Vendor ID: 0x1a86 Version: 2.64 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/s Location ID: 0x14100000 / 12 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 98 Extra Operating Current (mA): 0 >From what I've read possible issues could include a driver problem or defective cable. But to my mind, given the chipset appears to be the same and I have the BF-F8HP cable working, I would have thought that the UV-3R cable would work as well? Any ideas for how else to troubleshoot this? Is there anything that's worth trying before I give up and order a different cable? (If not, recommendations for a reliable source for a cable for the UV-3R would be welcome.) Thanks, Matthew
