It's a UV-B5.

Sorry, I may not have been clear.

The problem is that the model does not appear in the drop-down menu of Chirp. When I select the Baofeng make, there is a dozen or so different models (like UV-5R, UV-B6 etc) but _not_ the UV-B6

Not unusual with chinese radios to find that a "new model" is just a rebadged something else.

You might find that calling it by another model name works.

Hello,

I just subscribed to this list. Could not find an answer to my question in the FAQ section, so I hope it is OK to ask here.

I am using chirpw on an Ubuntu system. It is the newest version, CHIRP daily-20190201. I have been using it for a while for two different Baofeng UV-5Rs and it works fine.

I then ordered a Baofeng UV-B6 which arrived last week. Before ordering it, I made sure it is in the list of supported models. So I tried first to download whatever is stored on the radio and I planned to then modify that (this is what I did with the UV-5Rs). However, I found that the UV-B6 is not in the drop-down list of models I can choose. The UV-B5 is listed but when I tried this setting it did not work.

Help?

Thank you!
