Computer programming Baofeng UV-5R
Chapter 10. Programming 35
memory channels. If the
Channel Information
window doesn't show automati-
cally, you can bring it up by going to
Edit -> Channel Information
.
Before we start adding channels, go to
Communication
to select the port your cable
is attached to. Next go to
Program -> Read from radio
and click
Read
to
read in any existing channel information on the radio. This is also a good way to test the
connection of the programming cable. If the read is successful the LED on your radio
will start flashing red indicating that the radio is transmitting data to the computer.
The Baofeng programming software has been known to fail on connect the first
try. If your connection fails, just try to read or write again.
If it continues to fail, check the connection of your cable and that you've configured
your port properly in the programming software.
The
Channel Information
window in the Baofeng software features a simple
and easy to use spreadsheet style interface. Some columns are obvious, others aren't as
transparent as to what their purpose is. However, in most cases the default values tend
to be the appropriate ones.

You can in theory edit any field in a row at any time, however the software seems to
work best when you work from left to right.
