I have three "identical" UV5R's. I use the same image file and get the same error on 2 of them. Every thing seems to download to the radios anyhow. I think it is more of an FYI than an error message. However what has been said above is the right way to do it.

Dennis,
It depends on the two different firmware versions. CHIRP has become smarter over the years and can now skip over some of the areas that can cause issues when incompatible images are uploaded. In those cases, it is an FYI. But in the cases where there is a reason that CHIRP can't know which areas to avoid (for example the radio doesn't share its firmware version with CHIRP) or the user is using and older version of CHIRP, the the upload is aborted.
