I read something about there being diffrent versions which require separate programming software.

I think it was on the Baeofeng USA website.

I have had success using both CHIRP and Baofeng software in downloading and uploading from a Baofeng UV-5R, Version BFB 251 120702 VER-05 which belongs to a mate.

However, my own model UV-5R, Version BFB 291 120828N B5R0001 does not respond. Any suggestions?
