I downloaded “CHIRP daily-20150405” for a new UV5R baofang and it worked perfectly. I also have an old UV5R and now my software will not download or upload to my older radio. What have I done so this, and where do I find the older versions.

Hi Dave,
I just downloaded from and uploaded to my 3 year old UV-5R radio with BFB231 firmware using the latest "CHIRP daily-20150409" and it worked perfectly. Would you provide a little more detail? Like what are the error messages that your are receiving. What are the "real" firmware versions of the "new" and "old" radios. Just based on experience, I would think the likely problem was at the programming cable wasn't fully plugged into the "old" radio.
But to answer your question, when you click the "latest daily builds" link on the download page, it takes you to a page that contains links for download the LATEST daily build for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. If you click the "Parent Directory" link on that page, it will back up one level and here you will see links to all available daily builds that are currently available (it currently spans from October 2013 through to the LATEST). They are listed in date order so the OLDEST are at the top of the page and the LATEST are at the bottom.
