The radio probably got a bad load at the factory.

The memory layout changed when going from BFB firmware to N5R
firmware. They are not compatible an image from one to a radio of
another is not good. So if CHIRP detects this, it aborts the upload.

Yes. You can use the "win32.zip" version. Just extract it anywhere
convenient. That way it won't mess with your current CHIRP. Just find
and double click on the "chirpw.exe" file.

The old version is needed because it doesn't have the check that keeps
you from uploading the wrong image into your radio. Without the old
version, uploading the BAO2.img into radio #1 would fail.

Not exactly. You don't need to download anything because you can
upload your image from radio #2 or radio #3. Then once you are
successful, you can remove the folder that the 7-14-2014 version of
CHIRP is in.

Not if you do it the way I just explained to do it.
