Doug, Use the 0.3.0 stable release or latest daily build and you should be good. Jim KC9HI On Feb 20, 2013 12:18 PM, "Doug Gilbert" dougandsharon@tampabay.rr.com wrote:

Chirp: Daily Build 20121222****
I just purchased the UV-5R+ and tried to connect it up to Chirp. Got through the driver installation and Chirp software install thanks to the documentation provided on MIKLOR.****
I am able to Download the radio parameters into Chirp fine – the “Cloning” window pops up and everything appears to show fine. However after making a frequency change to one channel and trying to Upload the changes back to the radio, I get the message: “Unsupported Firmware Version BFB301 BFB297”. This happens right after the “Cloning” window pops up.****
Since there are so many variables to analyze for potential problems, I downloaded the Baofeng VIP software version: V120725 and tried the same scenario - everything seems to work fine there – Download/Upload.****
Is Firmware Version BFB297 supported yet by CHIRP?****
Thanks,****
