Hello, This is my first foray into China radios and Chirp. Yesterday I get a two-pack Baofeng UV5-RTP radios. I downloaded the latest build of Chirp (20161123). When I select "BF-F8HP" as per the FAQ, I get an "Incorrect Model" error.

After downloading with the UV5-R model selection, firmware version reported is HN5RV01 1FB297

debug.log after testing with BF-F8HP and then UV5-R models attached.

Any hints and help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Hans-Christian SM7TL/KG6POK

The HN5RV01/1FB297 firmware version indicates that this radio only has 2 power levels. It is definitely not a UV-5RTP. The correct model selection would be UV-5R.
