You are correct to use UVB5 if you have a UVB6. They are basically the same radio.
4.0 and 4.1 are Not Daily builds. The Latest Daily Build can be found at http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/
The resolution to your error message can be found at http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_ErrorMess.php#error1

Hi Justin,
First, congratulations on getting your Technician license.
Now for your question. If you take a look at the Supported Radios list on the CHIRP you will see
BF-F8HP (in daily builds) Also includes the BF-F9V2+ Also includes the GT-3TP Also includes the UV-5R TP
So all of these Baofeng radios with 3 power levels are basically the same and they all are programmed by selecting the BF-F8HP model.

Fella’s (ladies as well?), in an effort of full disclosure, I want to make sure everyone knows I am in no way a computer programmer; I joined hoping this list was a “help” based list. If I joined a list of programmers then I made a mistake and apologize for clogging your air waves! If this list does exist for the layman as well, then I’m in the right spot!
I have a 4 UV-82’s with the large Nagoya, I also just picked up a BF-F9V2+ Tri power without checking CHIRP for support before hand (spurious keyboard/Amazon emissions on my part). I took a chance and used BF-F8HP on the drop down and was able to connect. I have found much misinformation on the web about this radio being “counterfeit/copy” of the BF-8HP but I was able to find it on the Chinese Baofeng website. Is this thing legit or not? Am I doing any harm telling CHIRP its a BF-8HP when its actually a BF-F9V2+?? Will there be/is there need for a specific version?
Sorry for my ignorance! I just got my Tech license day before yesterday, KG7RKJ Las Vegas, 73!

David is absolutely right. I was thinking "you must use a daily build" but my fingers typed the opposite.
Nobody with a Baofeng radio should be using the stable build. There has been too many new model additions, firmware changes and no protection against uploading incompatible radio image files.
Sorry for the confusion.

Jim,
Larry, N6NEV is understandably confused. People refer him back to you message (below) in which you made an error.
You meant to tell him he needs a DAILY build, but you told him in error he needed the stable build.
Larry, Jim typed the wrong thing, you need the latest daily build.

Larry,
This is because you are using the CHIRP stable build and it does not support the radios with 3 power levels. You must use a CHIRP stable build which will have a BF-F8HP model selection.
