Thanks for being so detailed with your initial post. It made it easy to diagnose the issue.<br><br>The way I see it, the folks at Baofeng, with the last few releases, has been putting the firmware version in the wrong line of the 3+Power-on message.<br>
<br>The format used to be like this<br>" Ver " "BFB297 " <br><br>Then when BFB299 came out they looked like this<br>"BFB299 " "BFB297 "<br>The " Ver " was overwritten and the previous "BFB297 " survived. To me this appears to be an accidental mistake on Baofeng's part. CHIRP was updated to deal with this change a few days before v0.3.0 stable was released.<br>
<br>And now you have<br>"BFB301 " "BFB297 "<br><br>Would you do me a favor? First, save your settings to a file so that they can be restored. Then perform a menu 40 reset on your UV-5R. After the reset, download from your UV-5R and save the data to an .img file with a different name than what you used before (ResetFileFromDougForJim.img or similar) and email it to me ( <a href="mailto:uv5r@kc9hi.net">uv5r@kc9hi.net</a> ). Then you can restore you settings using the file that you save earlier.<br>
