Here's the problem with a few Baofeng UV-5R radios with BFB297 firmware. There are apparently 2 versions with BFB297 floating around.
- Image is ' Ver BFB297 ' (works OK)
- Image is 'BFB299 BFB297 ' (upload failure)
The upload failure is caused by the 'Ver BFB' check failure. There is no 'Ver "
Sigh.
A possible solution is to narrow the requirements of the check
if "Ver BFB" not in radio_version:
- if "BFB" not in radio_version:
Yeah, I guess that's okay.
Is it safe to swap the 'aux blocks' of this two similar firmware versions?
No, IMHO. Since history has shown that doing so is dangerous, lets not even go there :)
