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
