			At the time of writing, CHIRP is capable of programming UV-5Rs - future versions may not be compatible with newer versions of the 5R, or indeed, older versions!
			The serial number of the model that this was tested on was: 201204R41345

			First of all, a few points on this:
			* Plug the USB cable in before turning the radio on, else you can end up stuck in transmit....
			* The 5R needs to be in Memory mode - you can tell if this is the case by small digits on the right of the display telling you which memory you are on. If they aren't there, press VFO/MR once to enter memory mode.
			* CHIRP is experimental on the UV-5R - '''Do not''' expect this to work 100% reliably, and if it doesn't work, it may brick your radio.
			* I'm assuming you've got CHIRP installed already.

			Now onto the instructions
			# Fire up CHIRP
			# Click "Radio" -> "Download from Radio"
			# Choose your serial port for the PL2303 (clone-of) that your OS will have detected, for me it was /dev/ttyUSB1
			# Choose Vendor of "Baofeng"
			# Choose Model of "UV-5R"
			# Click OK
			# You will get a warning message - click "Yes"
			# The red light will flash on your rig as it downloads the memory map.
			# After the download completes, the radio will reset, and a new tab will open in the programmer window.
			# Edit the memories by double clicking on them (note that there are 127 memories, but CHIRP will only show 50 by default - extend the range using the values at the top of the programming window if needed.
			# When done, save your template, and then choose "Radio" -> "Upload to radio"
			# Choose your serial port for the PL2303 (clone-of) that your OS will have detected, for me it was /dev/ttyUSB1
			# Choose Vendor of "Baofeng"
			# Choose Model of "UV-5R"
			# Click OK
			# You will get a warning message - click "Yes"
			# The green light will flash on your radio as it is programmed.
			# Again your radio will reset, and the channels will be programmed.

			Once again - at the time of writing '''CHIRP is experimental on the UV-5R''' - your mileage may vary!

That article isn't as clear as it should be.
Here's a quick summary of how to program GB3IW:

# Ensure you are in Frequency Mode
# Ensure you are on the A channel (top half of the display)
# Ensure the Band setting (Opt 33) is set to the correct band, in this case UHF.
# Key the output frequency as follows: 4 3 3 2 2 5
# Ensure Options 10, 11, 12 and 13 are set to Off
# Delete the memory via option 28
# Save the memory via option 27 (MEM-CH)
# Press * (Scan)
# Key the input frequency of the repeater: 4 3 4 8 2 5
# Press Menu
# Select T-CTCS (Opt 13)
# Change the CTCSS to 71.9kHz
# Scroll to MEM-CH
# Press Menu, ensure the channel number is the same as before, press Menu

You have now saved the channel.
