<p class=MsoNormal>I have two exactly the same UV5RA's. I bought them together
on Amazon.com. Chirp will download from both radios just fine, but on one I get
an error code "incompatible firmware version bfb299 bfb297" . I have
checked the firmware on both units it is BFB297. <br>

CHIRP works fine with all UV-5Rs. The A, B, C, +, PLUS, etc only designate
differences in case styles. The electronics inside is the same (except for
differences between firmware versions). Explain how is it that CHIRP does not
work for you?<br>
