That's fine, but it would probably be good to file this as a bug and
attach those images there. That makes it easier for you, me, or anyone
else to go back and get them from the ticket archives if we need to try
to reproduce something a year down the road.

My mistake. I thought I was replying to a baofeng_uv5r group mesage

Jim, maybe we could create "fixed" images for each firmware version so
that folks can use CHIRP to restore that aux block on their own?
Someone on MacOS that might have been affected by this may not be able
to run the VIP software that easily to resolve it.

This is what I had in mind. This was the solution on the Miklor website (back when it was just BFB291 and BFB293) but the recovery files were removed when it was discovered that the VIP software would restore the TX function.
 

Since CHIRP uploads the aux block every time (if/when the firmware
matches), it should just be a matter of uploading that fixed image once
to re-set those values. Might even be easier than finding the VIP
software that matches your firmware version and jumping through the
hoops.

 I really would like to a CHIRP solution available.
