<div dir="auto">Hello Ken,</div>
<div dir="auto">Your post has me a little concerned.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I love the chirp software and had
programmed literally hundreds of radios as a service
to my last employer. They were commercial handhelds
from manufacturers like Motorola, Yaesu and Kenwood.
I had never saved images of each of those radios.
That was the past. Fast forward 10 years. I have
retired from that firm and I have been a silent ham
for about the same amount of time.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">When I saw the price of these new
radios I decided to get back into amateur radio and
I purchased my first Baofeng UV-5R approximately 6
months ago. In my excitement I immediately fired up
the chirp software and successfully programmed my
radio after selecting the right version, the correct
software selection of the comm port and the physical
selection of the USB port. I however did NOT save
the image file. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto"> Since then my 14 year old grandson
became interested in my resurgence back into amateur
radio. For Christmas I purchased him a gift of a
study guide for his amateur radio license and a new
Baofeng UV-5R. Once again in my excitement to show
him how his new radio works, I simply used the
programming of my radio and downloaded it
successfully to his Radio. I of course gave him
strict orders and instructions that he is only to
listen on the channels and not transmit until he
gets his ticket. He is studying diligently and
complying with not broadcasting.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">After reading your post which was very
informative, I am now concerned that I did not save
each of these radio's image files. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Would it be your recommendation that I
try to do a factory reset on each radio and then
save each radio's image file? </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Will each of the image files be
unique?</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Have I already screwed up the ability
to obtain each radios image file?</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Once again my hats off to the people
at chirp as they save countless hours programming
our radios.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Thank you Ken for your post. I learned
a few things and you've now got me a little shy
about programming without first saving an image
file. I'm sure that saving the image file is really
because of the quirky nature of these Chinese
radios. I have never had a problem with the
commercial radios becoming a brick but I will be
more careful with programming a new baofeng radio in
the future.</div>

<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">To
start with there are many variations of this popular
radio. Check the model number first and go from
there. Do
<u>NOT</u> ever try to program this radio with the
wrong variation programming software.</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">If
it is in fact the basic "bare-bones" Baofeng UV-5R,
there are 2 variations, <u>
Old</u> and <u>New</u>. This can be checked
easily. You will have to perform a Firmware test on
the radio. Even if it is "new" it may be in fact
old stock lying around for years or an old radio.</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Go
to Miklor to check on the radio's firmware version
before you proceed. This is very important. The
wrong software
<u>will</u> brick up the radio.</div>

</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Like
all radios, you must first get an "Image" file from
the radio, and then you can program it as you
please. </div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Also,
this "Image" file will be needed to reset the radio
should it ever "Brick" up on you. Just Factory
reset the radio and resend this Image file to the
radio and all should be okay. In other words you
resurrected the dead.</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><u>NEVER</u>
should you buy a radio, take it out of the box and
start playing with it. This probably will mess it
up internally.
<u>ALWAYS</u> first get that "Image" file and <u>THEN</u>
program it. This will save you a lot of grief later
if the radio acts up.</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">BTW,
I have worked commercially on many radios over the
past 40 years, mainly Midlands & Motorolas and
cannot overemphasize the importance of saving this
"Image" file. It is particular to that radio alone
only and not the one sitting next to it.</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Also,
if perhaps you have several of the same model radio,
save the "Image" file labelled with its' last 4
digits serial number, e.g.: UV5R_XXXX1234.img Then
you will know it came from that particular radio.</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">This
believe me will save your radio from being a "Brick"
or cute-looking paperweight.</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Note
all these recommendations work with all radio Models
& Makes, Amateur & Commercial.</div>

<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">P.S.
Cheers to the over-worked Staff at CHIRP who do a
tireless job at writing these endless programming
files out. Everyday it seems to be a new radio and
new model out, mostly tireless variations of one or
the other.</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Regarding
DMR radios, most if not all models have very
individual programming issues which is why you never
see any common software. Even RT Systems keeps
postponing any DMR releases due to this. Very few
models can even import CSV files, so all mostly are
manual programming and <u>DO NOT</u> make any
slight errors or the radio simply does not work.
Make sure you download the correct Factory
programming software for the radio, any Firmware
updates, cable USB drivers before you even start
playing with its' buttons. If by accident you do
then you will have to do a Factory reset before you
can even save the Image file.</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">A
simple Factory Reset will cure some evils, however
that Image file will save that radio.</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Have
a great 2020 to CHIRP and all your Subscribers.</div>
