Well I was able to read and write to this BF F9 with the software link you sent, but it needs a .DAT file to import, so it looks like my Chirp CSV won't work. Now to figure out why Chirp doesn't work.

The fit and finish of these radios are not the best so it is common for the 2 pins of the cable to not fully insert and fully make contact with the 2 holes of the socket. Sometimes you have to press on the plug (sometimes really hard) during the cloning process to make full contact. You can get the OEM software from the miklor.com website. Here's a link to the page: https://www.miklor.com/F8HP/F8HP-Software.php It is saved in .RAR format so you may need a file archival program that supports *.rar files (but you should be OK if you are using Ubuntu to download and extract the file). But the OEM software will only run on Windows and I don't think Windows supports *.rar files. I use 7-zip as my utility to handle ZIP, TAR, RAR, etc archive files. But no programming software can work until you provide a working connection between the computer and radio.
