It looks like either the memory layout has change or your radio needs reset. This is what the "Ident" should look like.
AA 36 74 04 00 05 20 DD
It is a record of the factory band limits and is the same format for all UV-5R variants since the BFB291 firmware was released.
36 = VHF lower limit of 136 MHz 74 = VHF upper limit of 174 MHz 04 00 = UHF lower limit of 400 MHz 05 20 = VHF upper limit of 520 MHz
And yours looks to me like
aa 01 01 36 01 74 01 04
01 = separator 01 36 = VHF lower limit 01 = separator 01 74 = VHF upper limit 01 = separator just guessing beyond this point 04 00 = UHF lower limit 01 = separator 05 20 = UHF upper limit
If I am correct, this first part of memory has been expanded and all of the memory mapping afterwords is offset. So even if you got past this "Radio refused clone" error, the settings would be all wrong.
Are you able to get this radio to work with the Baofeng software?
