chirp programming software for baofeng uv9r plus

Any way it goes they obviously made an attempt at water resistance and that is good enough for me. I am not about to test that out as I really like this radio and don’t really want to trash it. The first thing I really liked about the Baofeng UV-9R Plus radio is that it is waterproof, or so they say. The Baofeng UV-9R Plus is, in my opinion, a better Baofeng than Baofeng. Rarely do you hear about a better standard dual-band Baofeng than that ubiquitous radio. In the world of cheap radios, it is almost always about the UV-5R and for pretty good reasons. Therefore the N-FM (2.5kHz) is the FM-deviation of choice for repeater operation, whereas for other applications like the SO50 satellite, 5kHz wide FM is still correct.The Baofeng UV-9R Plus is a dual-band (2m/70cm) waterproof radio and my favorite cheap Chinese radio despite its flaws. In Germany most repeaters have been modified to conform with the 12.5kHz channel spacing. It is CPU controlled and has a LCD display, but that does not make it a 'Digital Mobile Radio'. The case has 'Digital Mobile Radio' engraved in it. For a 8000mAh it seems a little light to me. I still have to measure the battery capacity. It might give you a bit of an edge over the UV5R, with it's 4 watts. Keep in mind that doubling the power adds only one S-level on the receiving side. A quick web search indicates, that the actual RF output power ist around 7W max, which does not make that much of a difference from the usual 5watters. Why Baofeng advertises it's otherwise decent product with false specs is most likely a very questionable marketing stunt. The other settings are mostly irrelevant. I recommend the following basic settings for HAM radio operations. The cool thing is that you can copy your channel memories from your UV-5R over to the UV-9R Plus, with a simple copy/paste. Your COM port number will probably be different The first thing to do in Chirp is to download the radio's original configuration, and save that, just in case, and then work from that configuration.

My finding is, that while it is not explicitly listed as a supported device, it appears to behave like the UV-82WP. There has been some controversy in the Chirp forum whether or not the UV9R Plus was supported or not. Once the driver has installed, it comes up as a serial port

The USB Vendor ID identifies it as a Prolific bridge My windows found the driver itself with the 'update driver' function of the device manager. It has a Baofeng label (unlike my UV5R programming cable described here) and has the Prolific USB2Serial bridge chip, which requires a driver, of course. The cable was a little over 5 bucks at the time of writing. I got the programming cable from Banggood: The programming cable with its odd connector
