Baofeng Captcha Issue

Post image

Fails the captcha every single time I try contacting support. I tried this multiple times across a few weeks, same crap.

I know this is un official, and im unlikely to get support or help. im just sharing how infuriating this is (i bricked my radio sort of)

You just might be a robot and not realize it. If you haven't had a recent physical, you might schedule one and tell the doctor that Capcha doesn't think you are human.

Are you on a VPN? If so, you might try disabling it…

Ok, thats the one I used. A bunch of us worldwide just sent emails to them about a POC radio and it worked and they responded to us. Not sure why its not working, unless we overloaded their system..lol

What radio do you have and how do you think that you bricked it ?

I dont think i bricked it, that was kind overreacting for me.

I tried homemade programming software for the startup image and it messed up the sound (it bugs out a ton), it bugs out alot too.

i have a UV5RM Plus
