[chirp_users] Uv5r not being programmed with additional settings
When I program my uv5R, it transfers all frequencies and additional settings. I have a second UV 5 R and when I upload everything to that, it only transfers the frequencies, and not the additional settings. I've researched the error and have still not been able to correct it.
Can someone explain if it is possible to correct this?

Sorry to chase this rabbit trail, but my search of the wiki http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home for the procedure you mention didn't return any results. Can someone kindly point this n00b in the right direction?

Jim, That is the way I crested mine. It is the procedure described in the
wiki.

If a fake flash drive is a concern, use H2TestW as mentioned here.
http://fightflashfraud.wordpress.com/2008/11/24/h2testw-gold-standard-in-det...
If the drive's good, it should work with no errors. If it's burned with a fake capacity, it'll let you know what the real capacity was.
Also, if the drive is not fake but has a defect, it'll catch that too. I have had several Sandisk MicroSD cards go bad and H2TestW reminds me that the corruption problems aren't my fault, it's the card's... zowie!

Robert,
This is by design. It only occurs when the UV5R radios have different firmware releases.
The only parameters that will not transfer are those in the Settings / Other Settings tab.
Everything else should transfer properly.
Due to the many firmware releases with the UV5R, this allows you to use the same image file to update multiple radios without requiring a separate .img file for each.
The Settings / Other Settings tab mainly changes the Power On Messages which normally remain constant.
Hope this helps.

Robert,
Your two radios have different firmware versions. When the firmware version of the CHIRP image that you are uploading is different than the firmware version in the radio you are uploading it to, CHIRP stops short of transferring the 'Other Settings'. I wish the message that is returned could be toned down a bit. It needs look less like an error message and look more like and FYI. Anyway, this is the way CHIRP is designed to behave. Most of the 'settings' of the radio are transferred. It is only the settings on the 'Other Settings' menu that aren't uploaded.
Transferring the 'Other Settings' to a radio that has a different firmware version than the radio it was originally downloaded from, can cause unwanted issues with the radio. This is because the memory layout changed when Baofeng released firmware version BFB291.
Most of the time, you don't want the 'Other Settings' changed anyway. If you do, upload the settings. Close the notification that the 'Other Settings' weren't transferred. Download the settings from the radio. Tweak the 'Other Settings'. Upload the settings back to the radio.
