Hi all, I've been using Chirp with my Baofeng UV-5R+, and it works great. I recently purchased a pair of BF-F9V2+ radios. I've attempted to perform Radio -> Download from radio, and select a Baofeng BF-F8HP. This seems to work. However, according to this issue, this specific type of radio should be supported.

I have the latest nightly, specifically revision 20170210, but this radio is not in my list. I'm using an OS X distribution. Is this the radio option I should be using, or is this radio type missing?
Thanks, Todd
If you have one of the new radios with 3 power levels that Baofeng is shipping with HN5RV01 style firmware, a firmware that for the last 2 or so years has been a firmware for radios with 2 power levels, then CHIRP detects the radios as being a radio with 2 power levels so you have to choose UV-5R.
