Another update: I tried with the other radio, and that one does indeed work with the BF-F8HP model selection, and it also reports a different firmware version in Chirp:

N5R3409

BFP3-25

Oh the joy :)

Hello,
This is my first foray into China radios and Chirp.
Yesterday I get a two-pack Baofeng UV5-RTP radios. I downloaded the latest build of Chirp (20161123). When I select "BF-F8HP" as per the FAQ, I get an "Incorrect Model" error.

After downloading with the UV5-R model selection, firmware version reported is
HN5RV01
1FB297

debug.log after testing with BF-F8HP and then UV5-R models attached.

Any hints and help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
