Hey Gang,

 Well, still a  new-bee here and learning things. I have a question. I recently purchased the Baofeng UV-5V back in early Jan. It’s a long story but, in short, the charge light on the charger would never indicate a full charge. The Ebay dealer would not honor any attempts to reconcile the issue. So, I sent the whole thing back for a refund. But, while it was in my possession, I managed, with the great help from you Chirp folks, to download Chirp and just barely begin to learn how to apply it to my radio(s).

Well, I’d cloned my Baofeng to Chirp which, downloaded a few frequencies that a buddy had graciously installed on my radio, using his Chirp. Those frequencies are now in my Chirp. But, here’s the deal. Since I sent that Baofeng back, I’d just received the latest model of the Baofeng UV-5R 8 watt unit. I want to clone my Chirp stored frequencies to that new model I just got.

Do any of you see any issues doing this? I’m new at this and, hope I don’t screw something up either in the radio or, the Chirp stored frequencies. The last time I tried to use Chirp, I tired to install the National Simplex Frequency and, name it. When I hit store, NO NAME was there. I tried it a few times and each time, it would not store with the name I applied to that frequency. Anyway, what say you all on my plan?
