<div>While
attempting to program my new Baofeng BF-F8HP radio I received the following
error message </div>
<div>Unsupported
firmware version: `N5R-30 F8HP-1 '. I was able to download from the radio but
not upload. This is using the daily build dated 8/12/14 which supports the
radio. Please any ideas ? I did try to use the UV5r settings as I do with my
BF8-8+ and the radio downloaded, but again I could not upload.. Any help would
be appreciated.</div></div>

On top of that Baofeng ships the same radio with differing firmware versions than can cause issues if they are cross loaded across firmware versions. CHIRP support for the BF-F8HP was added based on samples that were provided by Baofeng. Baofeng then shipped the production radios with a completely different firmware version than what was provided in the sample units or any firmware version seen in the past. An issue has been opened and a patch has been submitted. It just now has to be accepted in included in the next daily build.<br>
