How can you determine which firmware your UV5-R has ?
Download from the radio to CHIRP (the best version for Baofeng radios is any daily build from October 2014 or later). Then take a look on the Settings -> Other Settings menu tab.
If "Firmware Message 1" is " Ver ", then the firmware version is in "Firmware Message 2", otherwise the firmware version is in "Firmware Message 1". All UV-5R radios (and variants) with firmware version after BFB297 will have their "real" firmware version in "Firmware Message 1".
