Make a copy of the data file that was saved from your UV-B5 radio<br>
using the OEM software. Rename the extension from .pgm to .img. Load<br>
it into CHIRP to create a UV-B5 tab. Now import the .img file from<br>
your BF-F8+ into the UV-B5 tab. Save the changes. Rename the .img<br>
extension back to .pgm. Load the updated data file into the OEM<br>
software and upload it to your radio.<br>
