The message was "the 'Other Settings" could not be sent...".  This is a
very small percentage of the settings. Basically the Power-On messages and
the band limits. Most of the time you don't want these changed anyway.

Here's the way to do it with the least amount of effort.

1 Upload to radio (transfers channels and most of settings to radio)
2 Download from radio (returns same channels and settings with radio's
firmware version)
3 Edit Settings -> Other Settings (if needed)
4 If settings were edited in step 3, upload to radio again
5 Save the channels and settings to your computer

That is exactly how it is supposed to work.

When you this error/warning. The only settings that don't get uploaded are
the settings on the Settings -> Other Settings menu. Most of the time you
don't want these settings over written anyway.
