Had great success with the CHIRP software. Turned out the cable I have for my Kenwood TH-G71 also works with the UV-82X. Went on to program all the 220 machines between here and my cabin along with a few simplex frequencies. Then programed several VHF machines, simplex frequencies and all the NOAA weather channels. The upload to the UV-82X was flawless.
The caveat I came across though, was when I turned on the Baofeng it remained in the "Frequency" mode and I couldn't figure out how to see the "Memory" channels I just programed. There was nothing in the menu which allowed me to switch. So, I started to depress buttons while turning the power on and had success. With that being said, the following is what needs to be done to toggle from the "Frequency" mode to "Channel/Memory" mode and back: "TURN OFF THE UV-82X, HOLD THE MENU BUTTON DOWN WHILE TURNING THE RADIO BACK ON." Everything you programed should be there. If you want to revert back, just repeat the process.
The second caveat I came across was with the software where you're able to open up files like the "Repeater Book" predefined channels and wanting to dump them into the radio. (At this point you should have already created a new file to program the channels.) This is what needs to be done: "OPEN THE FILE FROM THE REPEATER BOOK, e.g., OZAUKEE COUNTY REPEATERS, AND GOTO FILE, CHOOSE EXPORT, AND SAVE SOMEWHERE AS A .CSV FILE. NOW GO TO THE NEW FILE YOU CREATED TO PROGRAM THE RADIO, AND IMPORT THE CSV FILE INTO THAT." It should it work. At this point you are able to insert blank lines above and below entries and you are also able to move entries up and down within your list.
Please find the attachment of the what I created for my radio. You should be able to import it into yours!
Hope you find this of help.
