Hi all I've a rd5r the lesson I got it off says the radio and cable work fine when I try to read from the radio is says communication error what could be the problem please im new to this so I'm kn a sharp learning curve and also he said I can hold moni button when a staion comes through it seems to pick things up but no voice on them only a flashing green light thanks in advance
You need to provide more information.

statements like "says communication error", just tell us there has been an error, but it does not tell us whether you even installed the firmware.
e.g. if you didn't actually install the firmware and the COM driver you would get this error

I have used the firmware and software I gathered on line so I'm assuming it's all OK
which firmware and which software (version ?), where did you download ?
If you say you have used firmware/software, you should have been able to communicate with
your RD5R and your laptop. What did you change ?

What is your call sign ? Are you a licensed Ham Radio operator ?

Btw., in the Facebook group you presented a different story...

Best you find someone local to give you a helping hand.

Since you are not able to describe your problems in technical terms, do not answer
questions and write in an unusual style (that is difficult to read & understand), it will
be very difficult to impossible to help you. Sorry...
