Issues found in earlier models, such as band limits, incorrect DTMF pattern, Beep Bug, etc have been corrected.
Since then, major issues have not been detected.
If you purchase a relatively new radio, it should be bug free.

Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R firmware upgrade?
WOW, really appreciate your comprehensive reply, now it's archived, so others hopefully can benefit..
Is that really true that since 2014 there have been newer firmware but no detected changes? or this list is out of date: http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-Firmware.php
I'm trying to figure the best firmware to look for in a new purchase.
Thanks.
