If you are trying to upload to two different types of UV5. You need to download from the UV-5RE, then load your saved image from the other UV-5R, The upload that to the UV-5RE. The 293 version,is different, and you need to download from the radio, to tell CHIRP, what version of the firmware, you are going to download to.

Good evening,
I can't seem to upload to my UV5, I have CHIRP on an XP machine, I have downloaded the channel info from my UV5-RE 293.

From the help menu  I have listed versions
GTK 2.24.10
PyGTK 2.24.0
Python 2.7.2
When I try to upload, the radio type & file type buttons are grayed out, can't be changed.
Thanks for you help,
Tom
