I'll be testing the Baofeng F-11 Friday when I get it from Ed Griffin. 
He sends me samples to test out on my service monitors and spectrum
analyzer so he can give the factory input on any problems
that might be encounters so the radio does not go into production before
these problems are corrected. I happened to purchase this F-11and am
curious to see how it works with the daily build for Mac OSX. It works good
with the Wouxun UV6D and the Baofeng will use the same cable.

Jim,
That did it – With that CHIRP 0.3.0 version, I am able to Upload/Download  my UV-5R+ channels.
The other link I used was the one contained on http://miklor-uv5r.99k.org/UV5R-CHIRP.html and was the one recommended.  Someone might want to correct that link for other UV-5R+ owners.  It will save them mucho trouble and discouragement.
 
After looking at both VIP and CHIRP, I’d rather use CHIRP – it’s much more complete and seems to work better.
Thanks for the assist… 73’s
Doug

Thanks for the reply. 
The only release I seem to be able to get to off the site is: chirp-daily-20121222-installer.exe.  Are there other versions in other locations?

Doug,
Use the 0.3.0 stable release or latest daily build and you should be good.

Model: Baofeng UV-5R+
Firmware: BFB297
Driver: Prolilfic 3.2.0.0
Operating System: Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Chirp: Daily Build 20121222
 
I just purchased the UV-5R+ and tried to connect it up to Chirp.  Got through the driver installation and Chirp software install thanks to the documentation provided on MIKLOR.
I am able to Download the radio parameters into Chirp fine – the “Cloning” window pops up and everything appears to show fine.  However after making a frequency change to one channel and trying to Upload the changes back to the radio, I get the message: “Unsupported Firmware Version BFB301 BFB297”.  This happens right after the “Cloning” window pops up.
 
Since there are so many variables to analyze for potential problems, I downloaded the Baofeng VIP software version: V120725 and tried the same scenario - everything seems to work fine there – Download/Upload.
 
Is Firmware Version BFB297 supported yet by CHIRP?
Thanks,
Doug
