Greetings,

 I encountered a bug when programming a recent Baofeng UV5R

transceiver. Since according to the warning message from Chirp that pops up there apparently is a problem with UV5R firmware version documentation I wonder if there is any interest in associated bug reports? If there is I wonder how one would go about reporting a bug? Although I found information on known bugs on the website I wasn't able to find any links for reporting new bugs.

If you are talking about the "warning message" that you get when you upload an image file to a radio with a firmware version that is different than the firmware version of the radio the image was downloaded from, this message is intentional. Is not a bug and is not meant to indicate an error has occurred.

It is merely telling you that because the image's firmware version and the radio's firmware version is different, the transfer of about a dozen settings we intentionally skipped. Otherwise, the transfer was successful.

The settings that are skipped are all on the "Other Settings" menu (mostly power-on messages and band limits). These are settings that most of the time don't need cloned anyway.
