Is the above radio supported by proxy under some other branding or designation (ie like the H-777 supports BF-888)?

Prior to this several radios were programmed and with no problems now the newer radios are not accepting programming, what can I do to over come this issue? I would really like to be able to program them the same as prior radios. Only the new radios are having a problem not the older UV5's

Sounds like you've uploaded a CHIRP Radio Image file saved from a radio with BFB firmware into a radio with N5R firmware. That is a no-no. The reverse is also true. The memory layout was changed with the introduction of N5R firmware making one radios image file incompatible with the other.
You must not be using the latest daily build. The latest daily build verifies that the image being uploaded is compatible before uploading it. The upload is aborted if it isn't compatible the the target radio. Daily builds prior to September 2014 and the year old (next month) CHIRP v0.4.x stable build do not have this protection and because of this are not recommended for use with Baofeng radios.
Before upgrading you will have to upload the original back up image file that was saved before the incompatible image was loaded to the radio. If one wasn't made (for some reason they usually aren't) then you will be able to get one and instructions for recovery on the miklor.com website.
