First, depending on which radio you have, flashing the firmware is more than likely out of the question, so let’s take the simple approach.
Even if a radio has the same basic model number an appearance, there’s a good chance that the .image files are not compatible. You will need to create and initial starting point by creating a new template for that radio. Then copy/paste the channel data from one template to another. The other possibility is export/import the .csv file from one to the other.
