Model: Baofeng UV-5R+
Firmware: BFB297
Driver: Prolilfic 3.2.0.0
Operating System: Windows 7 Service Pack 1
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,
Doug
