Because the baofeng_uv5r group had been discussing within the last day or two that is was discovered that the menu 6 selection was expanded from 5 to 10 with the release of BFB293. Alan probably changed the setting withing the last day or so and remembered the 5 to 10 change.<br>
<br>Research today discovered that 2 other menus have also been changed (menu 1 and menu 20). I&#39;ll bet selecting one of the new menu 1 settings via the keypad will cause similar errors to be encountered when downloading into CHIRP.<br>

If it said &quot;Value 10 .....&quot; why did you immediately suspect it was Menu #6<br>
causing the problem?<br>

Subject: Re: [chirp_users] New Daily Build<br>
<br>
I just installed this new build on Win7Pro 64-bit. When I tried to read my<br>
UV-5R+ (BFB293 firmware) it appeared to do the read, but then gave me an<br>
error message reading &quot;An error has occurred | Value 10 not in range 0-5&quot;.<br>
On a hunch, I went to menu 6 on my radio--the backlight timer setting--and<br>
changed it from 10 to 5. (BFB293 allows a maximum backlight setting of 10)<br>
After that, the new CHIRP build read the radio without a problem.<br>
<br>
Very pleased to see the settings tab re-enabled for the newer firmware<br>
versions! Thanks!<br>

&gt; This makes adjustments to the way we fetch the band limits, which<br>
&gt; changed from the older firmware to the newer firmware. It also is more<br>
