[chirp_users] image number and firmware numbers do not match
I submitted a post the other day looking for some help but it didn’t get posted so I am trying again. I think I sent it from the wrong email address!
I had a problem trying to updoad a file to a new UV-5RE+ that a friend just bought. I had previously used this file to program 14 other units of the same radio. Another complication is that I had done it on an XP computer buy am now using a Windows 7 machine.
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.
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.
Now, if this item gets posted, I will be a happy camper.
Best Regards,
Dennis

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.

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

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.
