No problem Jim, I bought these radios for emergency purposes, and I want to load the Marine, and GMRS channels as well as repeaters for my area. I think I can get that done now. I don't have them all loaded yet, I am not used to the interface, but I think I can figure it out. Problem Is, I don't have the right channels with the correct numbers. I will eventually figure it out. Thanks, Leo

Leo, Without going into a lot of detail, there are apparently two flavors of UV-5R radios with BFB297 firmware floating around. The difference in one caused a problem with uploading. So in the beginning CHIRP wouldn't work with both radios.
The important thing was that someone took the time to file a bug report (Bug #463). Eventually, after a few exchanges, additional information and files were supplied that made it possible to track down the cause of the problem.
A workaround for the issue was developed, and after some testing, an update was released.
Thanks for reporting that the update worked for you. Jim
