I have two exactly the same UV5RA's. I bought them together on Amazon.com. Chirp will download from both radios just fine, but on one I get an error code "incompatible firmware version bfb299 bfb297" . I have checked the firmware on both units it is BFB297.

Tom,
CHIRP works fine with all UV-5Rs. The A, B, C, +, PLUS, etc only designate differences in case styles. The electronics inside is the same (except for differences between firmware versions). Explain how is it that CHIRP does not work for you?

Heloo,

Has anyone found a way to use CHIRP with the Baofeng UV-5RA?

Thanks,
