Paul, If you choose "Download From Radio" and don't get a "Radio" dialog box that allows you to choose the Port, Vendor and Model, then you have a problem with your CHIRP installation. I would uninstall CHIRP, reboot for good measure, and then install CHIRP again. If you are running Windows, I would right-click the CHIRP installer file and then choose "Run as administrator" even if the Windows user is already an administrator. And this isn't CHIRP related, but none of the so-called "waterproof" Baofeng radio models are waterproof. At best they can be described as water resistant.
