When I program my uv5R, it transfers all frequencies and additional settings. I have a second UV 5 R and when I upload everything to that, it only transfers the frequencies, and not the additional settings. I've researched the error and have still not been able to correct it.

Can someone explain if it is possible to correct this?

Robert,

Your two radios have different firmware versions. When the firmware version of the CHIRP image that you are uploading is different than the firmware version in the radio you are uploading it to, CHIRP stops short of transferring the 'Other Settings'. I wish the message that is returned could be toned down a bit. It needs look less like an error message and look more like and FYI. Anyway, this is the way CHIRP is designed to behave. Most of the 'settings' of the radio are transferred. It is only the settings on the 'Other Settings' menu that aren't uploaded.

Transferring the 'Other Settings' to a radio that has a different firmware version than the radio it was originally downloaded from, can cause unwanted issues with the radio. This is because the memory layout changed when Baofeng released firmware version BFB291.

Most of the time, you don't want the 'Other Settings' changed anyway. If you do, upload the settings. Close the notification that the 'Other Settings' weren't transferred. Download the settings from the radio. Tweak the 'Other Settings'. Upload the settings back to the radio.
