[chirp_users] Help with Baofeng BF-F9V2+
Hi all, I've been using Chirp with my Baofeng UV-5R+, and it works great. I recently purchased a pair of BF-F9V2+ radios. I've attempted to perform Radio -> Download from radio, and select a Baofeng BF-F8HP. This seems to work. However, according to this issue, this specific type of radio should be supported.

I have the latest nightly, specifically revision 20170210, but this radio is not in my list. I'm using an OS X distribution. Is this the radio option I should be using, or is this radio type missing?
Thanks, Todd

If you have one of the new radios with 3 power levels that Baofeng is shipping with HN5RV01 style firmware, a firmware that for the last 2 or so years has been a firmware for radios with 2 power levels, then CHIRP detects the radios as being a radio with 2 power levels so you have to choose UV-5R.

I have the same tadio, I use the 8hp setting without issues.

Hi all. I was able to use the 8hp, for some reason Chirp would not program when I selected UV5R. As Jim noted, it seems to be the same firmware but with 3 power levels. Since I was unable to set the power level in chirp, I just edited it on the radio. This worked well, and I was able to program my existing channels I keep on my UV-5R. Thanks everyone for the help!
