[chirp_users] Looking for N5R-213BFB297 image.

Hey All,

First of all, thanks so much for your wonderful radio community resources.

I'm new to all of this, but just screwed up and so I've started actually
learning!

Using Chirp, I uploaded an image from one of my radios onto the same model
UV-5RA radio with different firmware (oops). I now can only receive on that
radio if holding the mon button. I think I need to upload an image
downloaded from a radio with the same firmware and then import my local
frequency list using my CSV export.

The problem is, I can't find a chirp image with the right firmware version.
The radio lists it as "N5R-213BFB297". I see at
http://kc9hi.dyndns.org/uv5r/programming/CHIRPrecovery/ there are both
N5R-213 and BFB297 images separately.

When I try to upload the BFB297 image using the latest daily Chirp software
(chirp-daily-20141210), I get this message:

"Upload finished, but the 'Other Settings' could not be sent because the
firmware version of the image (  Ver  BFB297 ) does not match that of the
radio (N5R-213BFB297 )."

If I use the N5R-213 image, I get the following error:

---
Sending Magic: 000: 50 bb ff 20 12 07 25 00   P.....%.

Ident:
000: aa 36 74 04 00 05 20 dd   .6t.....

Image Version is 'N5R-213BFB297 '
Radio Version is 'N5R-213BFB297 '
Image Special Block is 000: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 00   ........

Radio Special Block is 000: 38 76 03 b5 b0 26 39 00   8v...&9.

----------------------------

Can I just modify the special block of the image? Any help would be much
appreciated.

Thanks, Simon.
