Jim,
That did it - With that CHIRP 0.3.0 version, I am able to Upload/Download my UV-5R+ channels.
The other link I used was the one contained on http://miklor-uv5r.99k.org/UV5R-CHIRP.html and was the one recommended. Someone might want to correct that link for other UV-5R+ owners. It will save them mucho trouble and discouragement.
After looking at both VIP and CHIRP, I'd rather use CHIRP - it's much more complete and seems to work better.
Thanks for the assist. 73's
Doug

Thanks for the reply.
The only release I seem to be able to get to off the site is: chirp-daily-20121222-installer.exe. Are there other versions in other locations?

Doug, Use the 0.3.0 stable release or latest daily build and you should be good. Jim KC9HI

Model: Baofeng UV-5R+

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
