I am trying to program a Baofeng UV-5R radio with the CHIRP program. I previously programmed several UV-5R radios without problem.

I am a lowly accountant and do not understand a lot of the jargon and abbreviations commonly used by radio enthusiasts.

#1. I was getting the following error message while programming a new Baofeng UV-5R radio:

      Radio refused to send block 0x1ec0

#2. I next installed the most recent CHIRP update: daily-20150405

#3. I now get the following error message:

      Unsupported firmware version: `HN5RV011FB297 '

#4. Is there a solution to this error message?

Thank you very much!

Where did you happen to purchase this radio?
