I just bought two more UV-5R radios and they were quite inexpensive, like 27 dollars each.
How does one know if they have the latest firmware?
I am a Blind user, so looking at the display will not help.
Thanks.

I have programmed many radios with an image for our local radio club/group, different firmware revisions, different models and suppliers using the same import image.  For each upload, have needed to download from the target radio 1st to obtain the radio metadata (firmware revision, model info etc), then overlay channel data with the Chirp csv file imported from my master program image, then uploading the result.  Works everytime for me.  Just be sure to properly select model and type of radio when downloading.

This is not a complaint but maybe a bug. I program radios for our SAR
unit and we have some Baofeng UV5R radios. Using Chirp I programed my 4
with out any problem and saves the data. when i went to program some
others they would not program no matter what i did , the popup said a
bunch of stuff to include something about firmware? I think i am using
the latest Version or chirp. this did this on two different computers.
After trying different ways i change to the UV5 vip program and
downloaded the data from a programmed radio , and uploaded to the 4
radios that would not program with chirp with out a problem?
Also on Chirp I found when downloading from a programmed radio channel 0
and 2 do not always copy?
both computers are using Windows 7
