Hi Dennis,

I got an error message that the “Settings” had not been transferred because the image number didn’t match the firmware number. I looked in the file and found where those numbers were listed but could not change them.

The message was "the 'Other Settings" could not be sent...". This is a very small percentage of the settings. Basically the Power-On messages and the band limits. Most of the time you don't want these changed anyway.

I did eventually figure out that if I downloaded the data from the new radio to a new file, the firmware number came with it. Then I could populate the rest of the new file with data and it uploaded with no problem.

Here's the way to do it with the least amount of effort.

1 Upload to radio (transfers channels and most of settings to radio)

2 Download from radio (returns same channels and settings with radio's firmware version)

3 Edit Settings -> Other Settings (if needed)

4 If settings were edited in step 3, upload to radio again

5 Save the channels and settings to your computer

Now, if this item gets posted, I will be a happy camper.

You must be a happy camper. ;-)

That is exactly how it is supposed to work.

When you this error/warning. The only settings that don't get uploaded are the settings on the Settings -> Other Settings menu. Most of the time you don't want these settings over written anyway.
