[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R+Upload Error

[Doug Gilbert]

Jim,

That did it - With that CHIRP 0.3.0 version, I am able to Upload/Download
my UV-5R+ channels.

The other link I used was the one contained on
http://miklor-uv5r.99k.org/UV5R-CHIRP.html and was the one recommended.
Someone might want to correct that link for other UV-5R+ owners.  It will
save them mucho trouble and discouragement.

 

After looking at both VIP and CHIRP, I'd rather use CHIRP - it's much more
complete and seems to work better.

Thanks for the assist. 73's

Doug

Thanks for the reply.  

The only release I seem to be able to get to off the site is:
chirp-daily-20121222-installer.exe.  Are there other versions in other
locations?

Doug,
Use the 0.3.0 stable release or latest daily build and you should be good.

Model: Baofeng UV-5R+

Firmware: BFB297

Driver: Prolilfic 3.2.0.0

Operating System: Windows 7 Service Pack 1

Chirp: Daily Build 20121222

 

I just purchased the UV-5R+ and tried to connect it up to Chirp.  Got
through the driver installation and Chirp software install thanks to the
documentation provided on MIKLOR.

I am able to Download the radio parameters into Chirp fine - the "Cloning"
window pops up and everything appears to show fine.  However after making a
frequency change to one channel and trying to Upload the changes back to the
radio, I get the message: "Unsupported Firmware Version BFB301 BFB297".
This happens right after the "Cloning" window pops up.

 

Since there are so many variables to analyze for potential problems, I
downloaded the Baofeng VIP software version: V120725 and tried the same
scenario - everything seems to work fine there - Download/Upload.

 

Is Firmware Version BFB297 supported yet by CHIRP?

Thanks,

Doug
