Hi, yes you are correct on the actual msg. No I have made double sure in selecting the correct radio i.e. UV 5 R. As I said, cannot understand why because I had downloaded from same radio previously.
Regards George

Good day to you, I am using Chirp for programming my UV 5 R Baofeng
Radio. Suddenly when I request to "Download from Radio" I receive the message " Not enough data" Why would that be please. I have used it before and had no problems.

Hi George,
From the information you have provided, I am going to guess that you
may be selecting the wrong model. Here's why.
There is no CHIRP driver for any radio model that provides a " Not enough data" message to the user. The word "enough" doesn't even show up in any message for any radio driver module. So looking through all of the Baofeng radio driver modules for messages that contain both "not" and "data" I find "baofeng_common.py". It contains the following message: "Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want." Assuming this message is the actual message that you are seeing, this allows me to get a list of all radio driver modules that use "baofeng_common.py". They are as follows.
baofeng_wp970i.py gmrsuv1.py mursv1.py uv6r.py uv5x3.py
From the above list only "baofeng_wp970i.py" and "uv6r.py" use the
Vendor: Baofeng selection. Assuming that "UV 5 R" means "UV-5R", if I hook up a UV-5R and choose Vendor: Baofeng and Model: UV-6R, I get the "Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want." message (screen capture attached).
Since the "UV-5R" and "UV-6R" selections are visually similar, I think you may accidentally be choosing "UV-6R" instead of choosing "UV-5R".
