The firmware version USA349 indicates that the unit is not a UV5R, but rather a Baofeng F-11.

The F-11 is basically a UV5R with slightly different firmware.

CHIRP does support the F-11, but it needs to be selected in the model dropdown.

QA #2 (Firmware Link)

Hope this helps. John K3NXU

Hi All,

I’ve been watching this page in amazement. For pretty much volunteer work, great job. I try and read all the posts regarding the UV-5R, own 2, have no trouble with them. A club member asked me to program his, the version comes up as USA349, and I have had no success getting access to it with the program. Always says it can’t communicate with the radio. Have tried all the connector suggestions. Any thoughts? It does accept keypad input.
