The CHIRP program gives an error because not as much data as expected is read in. Trying to write anything locks things up and resets the radio after either about 1/2 uploading or 1/4 of the way uploading. It doesn't stop at the same place consistently, but it is always one of those 2 places, not 3/4 and not 1/3.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1509924982213_6983"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1509924982213_6732">Since Baofeng/BTECH tells people to use CHIRP they ought to know what to do you would think, . . . and it can't be the first time it has ever happened.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1509924982213_6733"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1509924982213_6834">Something during the first attempt of uploading new settings changed a few of the things. For example the sound (beeps and voice) were turned off like specified. The "WELCOME" message disappeared, but the 2 names I entered in place of that didn't make it in. The expansion of the VHF lower limit down to 130 MHz (from the default 136 MHz) didn't make it in.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1509924982213_7376"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1509924982213_7375">A strange thing I did notice when manually entering channels on the radio itself was that after the attempted upload of new settings the VHF2 band didn't appear when cycling through the bands with the Band button. However, after I entered in a frequency from within the band it does cycle through all 3 bands again. Strange. . . .</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1509924982213_7276"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1509924982213_7199">I used the last Menu item to Rest ALL and the other reset in that same place as well.

I don't know if that would change the length of the file and screw things up or not. (???) There was no error from CHIRP saying it couldn't be done.
